For all intents and purposes this is Hickey and a 2nd for Smith which is a steep price to pay imo.

Uh huh. But you cannot apply standard value to hickey knowing he wasn't signing. He is worth essentially zero at that point since the longer you wait, the more people know about the situation. Maybe it becomes evident that he has one team in mind and sours potential suitors. Smart to move him early while he still has potential value. He's their problem now, their distraction.
