I wish GMs thought this way, I’d rip two 1st rounders 4 and 5 years in the future instead of 1 in 3 months.

Because it’s about value. A first round pick that is 3 drafts away is less valuable than a pick in the upcoming draft. A pick three years out doesn’t accelerate the rebuild.

Hanifin is a top tier asset in his prime. If that’s the best you can get for him, it’s not good enough.
