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.
Sure, but...if "exactly as they are" is an upgrade here, and maybe even a better fit here so that what they are looks a little more at home and therefore shines a bit more, then one of those guys might be a better asset than what you're giving up, in theory.
I agree with your concern, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't do a lot of deals we talk about for exactly that reason. But, I think there are some moves that you might label "non-difference-making" that could make a difference down the road.
