Also, he is a skilled enough player to put up respectable points on a bad team, which would make him decent trade bait. His term is a hindrance, but I still think there's a market it for him if he can keep the sulking down and put up some points.

I understand the money aspect you are pointing out, however, for him to be effective he has to play top 6 minutes. As a result, other younger players will not get enough playing time as it is one less spot for them.
