I should know better than to respond, but just in case you are sincerely asking:
"Because their best players are still really young and aren't superstars."
I saw (what I'm assuming is) your trade idea on RealGM. The first response of "Oh, that's tough" cracked me up.
No chance he's moved, though. He's a promising talent.
For now, it's kinda fun, huh?
Haynes is legit, FWIW.
I split my post (in another thread) off into a new thread because the Trae part is...interesting. Lemme know (Gametime, JTB, or JeffS17) if you want me to move any of your posts to that thread.
I'd say he's best in between the DEN and DET roles. He's more than capable as a 3rd option but not a 1st option. The question is if he can be a reliable 2nd option. I honestly don't know.
Either way, I was certain that would be the asking price. The bigger problem for a team like the Hawks is the extension. You'd basically be choosing him over JC and that's a fairly lateral move to me.
It will not be continuing. I'm trying to let people get over the trade for a day or two, but that's it. And I don't care who they are or who their sources are.
B in terms of value.
Wanted the trade before the season to clear up the roster.
Wish Cam would have bought in more to the team concept, but I won't fault a guy for trying to get his first massive contract by betting on himself.
Value typically declines for most guys as you pass the 3rd summer. IOW, unless Cam just exploded, his value wasn't getting higher.
In fact, you can see how much it went down from the draft...
