No, no, and no. If he's not going to be resigned, better to have him as a mentor for Fultz and let him walk in free agency. The question marks about Fultz -- defense, intensity, winning attitude -- are the qualities IT has in spades.

That's crazy to me.
I know a lot of people are totally against trading Thomas, and I understand. He's been incredible this season. But if the front office decides the cost of retaining him is going to outweigh the benefits and it comes to trading him, what is his value?Would you trade IT for Aaron Gordon and the #6? How about for Saric and the Lakers pick next year? Would you trade IT for Gordon or Saric straight up?

I'd happily trade IT for Saric, a savvy player on a rookie contract and good fit in our passing-oriented system. But that's not happening.

Draftexpress has the Sixers drafting Jackson at #3 so it's highly likely they 'll still be in need of a point guard on draft night. With Simmons coming back healthy, it's only logical to assume that Saric won't be their starting PF for the future.The C's move on from Amir (and free up enough cap space to go after Hayward) and the Sixers get a starting point guard who can finally lead their young team to the playoffs (just like he did in Boston).IT3+D shooting guardJacksonSimmonsEmbiidThat's definitely a playoff team in my book (and a fun team to watch as well).

Why did we just sign Horford to a max contract?
IT is hurt and may need surgery and he's on the last year of his contract, I'm not sure this is the best time to trade him. Injured players have a much lower value.
