This is interesting, the Killorn trade. I’ve been arguing against Byron, for months now, even when he’s offered with a 1st round pick. I’d actually consider this trade, even though the picks are worse, the player going back is better, and Killorn makes about a million a season more. They’re the same age, and contract length, so why Killorn and not Byron? Killorn could be considered a borderline core player, whereas Byron will always be considered depth. I’m not saying I’d take the deal, just that it’s more interesting than a Byron trade.
It’s like Dadonov, also 31, also three year contract, also for more money. Being a better player makes a difference. There are more Byron types than there are Killorn types in the league. More available means worth less, supply and demand basics.
I’d rather over pay a good player than over pay a meh player.
