The very thing that makes Gio valuable is the expiring contract.

I think guys that can play are more valuable than guys that cant.
4.5 for 2 more years after next might be a barrier for some teams for sure...but you can always take back or retain too. Retaining in particular shouldnt be an issue here by that point because if thats whats happening as far as trading goes...its rebuild time anyhow.
I dont know...losing Tanev for nothing has to be a bigger loss than anything positive coming from a Giordano deadline deal even if their ia a 1st rd pick coming back. Its a 1st sure but it wont be coming from anyone that isnt solidly into a PO spot which means the pick will be somewhere in the late 20's most likely.
