But seriously, I think we are missing a huge opportunity to finally cash out on a reasonable return for this franchise's highest ever draft pick. Only 9 months ago I thought that possibility was gone forever; we have been gifted a second (or third, or forth) chance, and yet here we are being duped into keeping him around again.

I suspect anyone targeting Sam would still be doing so based on the belief they can "buy low" on him. I'm doubtful that his playoffs would have significantly altered what teams would be offering.
So what is being weighed is that return (which is unknown to us) v. his known contribution to the team based on historics + potential unrealized upside and confidence level in that upside.
That's the math.
You are assuming that the trade value has significantly altered based on his playoffs. That simply may not be true.
