There’s a reason why sign and trades are so rare. It’s really tricky to pull off and if you’re the player, why should you be forced into committing to a team for 8 years just so your current team can maximize returns?
Yes, the extra year is enticing, but if I’m Hanifin the ability to choose exactly where I go is more appealing. It’s not like he won’t be able to get another contract after a 7 year pact.
