You're right. Granted things change once you involve more pieces/teams in a trade. But, I was more speaking to the notion that as a fan, you tend to overvalue your guys; especially the players you admire & identify with. Platoon bats in baseball is just a good analogy because everyone can see the value to your team, but the market value of an average platoon bat is virtually nil.

How much value does a 6-10 PF with a well below average jump shot, a per 36 blocks per game average under 1.0, and no specialized, above average skill have? Literally, a guy like that is a dime a dozen.
