Getting RW is a move backwards in relation to trade assets. You can't trade him. OTOH the trade values of THJ and Bertans will likely increase as we move forward, as will the value of Powell (expiring) as we near the deadline. And in ensuing years, it's problematic if you are positioned where your only trade pieces are the core pieces you need to keep.
Getting RW in relation to some pie-in-the-sky free agency pursuit in 2023 (where no one can pinpoint an actual team-changing player to feasibly target), it would come at the cost of gutting the team, which makes it undesirable too.
