In the summer of 2024, I looked at the roster and his play and felt his value would go down rather than up. I was right.
Now I'm evaluating the situation just like Conroy would be and I once again am saying that his value will not go up enough to wait. Should Conroy hold out for Ras having 50 points at the deadline when his career high is 50. If you look at Weegar vs Ras, is it just a coincidence that Weegar steals Ras #1 PP spot for the last 2 seasons and Weegar is his 30s all of a sudden is beating his career highs in points while Ras has dipped in points. If you look, Ras really only dipped in non-PP points last year. 23/24 his dip in points was all due to the fact he went for 21 and 19 PP points to 8.
Add Parekh and he might end up with less than 8 this season. Add in Parekh and he probably get less mins per game too. So, when I evaluate all this, I'm not holding my breath for a huge point increase. So for me, his value might slightly go up from what it is now, but the risks for me it is better to trade him now.
I also think it opens up the door for others to get a crack. IMO it's the right move to do it now. I guess we can wait and see how his season is going if he is still with the team

If I was as right as you were in the summer of 2024 I would be finding those posts and quoting them in here. I don’t recall anyone clamouring to trade Rasmus last summer.
