Re: Rasho: In his prime
i believe the fans (and maybe the media) are a little too optimistic about rasho from a contractual standpoint. from what i know, his deal is effectively expiring now, this season. rasho has a player option for next year at 8 or 9M. he won't choose to walk on that but if he does, the raptors would be left with nothing.
i think too much is being said about how we're going to move his 'expiring contract' for an important piece next trade deadline because that's assuming a lot. it would only be true if he decided to pick up his player option and leave it at that. i think it's more likely that he: 1) renegotiates an extension for himself, which means no expiring deal next year; or 2) walks away in the hopes of finding a longer deal on the market.
if it's a mutual option (team + player) that might change things, but not much.
peace
