You've decided that you are going to give a contract raise in 2022-23 to a player who currently makes the coaching staff nervous in crunch time. In that case, he's no different than Sterling Brown.... and I don't think anyone in this forum was eager to hold onto him.
So the risk is that he must get good enough to break into the rotation this upcoming season. And I don't mean averaging 10-12 mpg. And yet, there will be players out there who have played 25-30 mpg in playoff situations that may be available.
I don't really understand that logic. I personally think keeping him is really a bigger risk than trading him for something more useful.
We can just agree to disagree. I don't think I'll ever see it the way you do.
I'm curios what you think we are going to get for him in a trade? Are you a proponent of sending him out for an early second round pick and burning some tax MLE to get bird rights and make him restricted? I think you might be overestimating his trade value. It does not really make sense to trade him for a vet who will be 11 or 12 on the roster. We already got that value from him last season.
