If you're making a big trade to land a guy who you're pursuing and want to be apart of what your building you definitely don't immediately flip him.
That's a surefire way to eliminate the possibility of any young star/RFA/UFA from ever signing here again. |
Not that rare. Who said Robertson would even want to sign here? Could be a rantanen to carolina like situation.
For us, where we are in building, trades should maximize value and then look for fit. In this case, if Robertson is really achievable as a return (I strongly doubt that is the case) then we should take that, because hes valuable and could potentially land us a viable 1c in a trade, something we need dearly.
I also don't see how this burns any bridges or devalues the reputation of the club. Its kind of akin for trading a bunch of paperclips for a sports car and then selling the sportscar to buy a van for your family.
