The salaries and age of those guys makes much more sense to me than the usual suspect. They aren't the final piece for 23/24 either, but they could be an important piece for the seasons beyond this.
The risk of this approach is, that the guys stays exactly as they are. As they are, they are not a difference maker and will not be. Because they are young, you are paying extra for the potential preventing you to have the asset for a (far) more established difference maker. That is why I am not a fan of this kind of moves. Outside of Kuminga, all the rest have been in the league long enough for us to pretty much know what they are and will be in the future. I rather wait for the right guy than split assets in a couple of tries hoping someone will be significantly different with us than he was so far.
