Am I looking at this the wrong way? Why is one year worth half in trade value or a substantial discount? That seems like a bargain and I’d take next years compensation as often as I could.

It used to be "Discount by a round"
What I've seen recently is that it's a 20% discount for most teams though it depends on the situation on the ground. The 20% discount is typically presuming that a team that's good/bad in year 1 will be similarly good/bad in year 2.
Though we can look at roster situations and know that not to be the case. So teams will adjust a bit accordingly.
But yeah, the discount by a round thing is largely dead and I've not seen anyone suggest discounting by 50% but it does seem like 20% is a largely accepted baseline at this point.
