I hope so. Ras is an interesting player, but how his game ages isn't something I'd be willing to bet on.

There's a market for him, but someone else can pay the premium for his good years (next 3-4) and have to stomach the latter part of his next contract. For me he's a poster boy for some buyer's remorse at some point in his next deal.
