The differences between Terry and the guys who demanded a trade (Parsons and Garrett) seem consequential somehow.

The trade request is just a business strategy. But it's one typically used last, outside of outright holding out, so it's not a good thing. I don't think he wants to be traded, so would make sense to kind of do it quietly.
McLaurin is one of my 10 favorite players of all times. Possibly even Top 5. It's going to suck if they can't work this out.
If the team is offering less than 29 million, can't blame Terry. 29 to 30 million it seems like a push. But if McLaurin wants more than 30m this is all on him at this point.
