He and his wife are expecting a baby in April. Likely he'll want to stay out west so he has a quicker trip back home when it's time for the birth. This trade is only for the short term. If he decides to sign with whomever traded for him, great. But after the season is done he probably wouldn't have as much qualms about signing with Eastern teams.
