So if it turns out he doesn't want to play here... rather than lose him for nothing, could we do a sign and trade? Like it's still in his best interest to sign for 8 years with us with the understanding that we'd trade him to wherever he wants to go.
Sign with Philly for 7x11.5 vs sign with us for 8x11.5 and then we trade him to Philly.
Edit: Even better... sign with us for 8x11.5 and a list of 5 teams he'd be willing to go to. Then we start a bidding war.
