How to maximize Vasquez’s trade value.

If the management team is leaning towards drafting Burke, and eventually trading Vasquez to maximize the return, when would be the best time to do it? I know my point is not going to be very popular among some fans, but here it is anyway.
If we are trying to get the best possible value for Vasquez, I think the strategy would be to draft Burke (assuming he is available) and keep Vasquez.
In this scenario, I would assume that we would have improved the team in other positions via trade and free agency. If that is the case, we can then let Vasquez start next season for a month or so (while Burke learns the system and gets use to the NBA), and then trade him before the dead line.
My rational here is that due to his surgery, Vasquez value right now is much lower than what it was at the end of the season. Now, if he starts for the first month of the season, we have an improved team, and a healthy Gordon we can eventually end that first month with a positive record (despite having Vasquez starting). If that is the case, then what you would be offering for trade would be a healthy “starting PG” (note that I am using quotes here), that helped a team to a positive record, with decent numbers (let’s say he has something like 9 assists and 14 ppg the first month).
In that scenario we could certainly get a much better value for him than what we can get now, and our season would not be compromised, as Burke would then take the PG position haven learned the basics of the team, and we would have an additional player (whoever we get for Vasquez) to help us.
What do you think?
