Malik Monk is being disrespected big time in this thread. He's a tier above these guys
Trent is also being disrespected by being compared to Beasley. Beasley is one of the worst defensive players in the league. He's in the "can't play him in the playoffs realm" of terrible defense. Trent isn't some lock down defender but he won't get targeted, which in itself has value.
A lot of these valuations for Trent are way off. Players who can hit 3's at high volume and are neutral defensively don't get minimum contracts. Trent is a top 7-8 rotation guy who could start on a few teams because of his volume shooting. He's an MLE level guy.
I get why people might not want him. He's not a good ball mover and he might get supplanted by Dick, Agbaji, draft pick, etc. Even considering those factors re-signing him at ~$10m/yr would be a no brainer as he'd almost assuredly be movable for value.
