I doubt that the problem is that nobody wants one of the 10 best defenders in the NBA. It´s what Morey is asking for in return for #23 + Thybulle. He´s shooting 32.4% from three for his career. It´s not like there isn´t a chance he could improve a bit at his age. Morey just can´t pay him next year, so he´s trying to cash in now. Obviously everybody around the league knows that, too.
Trade season is a lot less fun if everybody is smart. There is basically no sweet spot for trading anymore, when everybody knows you only extended a player to not lose an asset (John Collins) or that you are trying to trade a player early, cause you cannot pay them (Thybulle).
