It's tempting to assume this, but I don't think you can. Teams DO try to play the odds when predicting what offers players will get from time to time. Sometimes, their opinions on players change between the deadline and free agency, even. RFA's do change teams. It happened this past off-season with Bogdanovic.
I'm not saying it's likely, and even called it "risky" in my post above, but it's not impossible. It's no less likely than it was to imagine Giannis signing here back before he re-upped in Milwaukee, imo.
