I have a feeling Hield would fit here like a glove, and he's one of the few players who had a better shooting season last year than THJ, by the criteria I think is important. That trade is probably an upgrade, and exactly the kind of move I'd make if we were in a post-2021 world.
But, it's not good enough to convince me to turn my back on 2021, personally. I really like the idea of having Hield here, but not enough to go all in on it. This COULD end up being a mistake later, in hindsight, as Hield might be the best we could've done, once the dust clears.
My guess is that there won't be anything out there that tempts them into burning the THJ expiring contract.
