I see little reason to think you can’t get similar production to Clark at a fraction of the cost through the draft or FA.

It’s taking a part of the contract as a bonus to get immediately. He did it in 2020 and we did it with guys this year. Doesn’t push the can down the road. They can do what they did to Okafor last year: tell him you need to do this to lower your cap hit or we’ll cut you straight up bc we’re at a point in your contract where we can do that.
Plus Orlando Brown Jr is your only vital FA in 2022 His cap hit won’t be big for a couple years.
And no you’re likely not getting a rookie to get his postseason production. Especially from the bottom of the first rd
