Exactly what Hackey said in above post.
Have to hope someone is full in and will overpay. The other school of thought is wait until off season when there are more suitors but he’s a one and done which probably affects value.
I’m also in the camp that Philly won’t trade for him and wait until he’s ufa. Aren’t a championship team this year so no pressing need to make a deal now.
