I'm comfortable with saying the family are flat out lying. It makes no sense to offer himself up for trade if he only wanted to sign in one place all along. And if you're Boston there is minimal reward. You get him for the playoffs I guess. What would it get Nashville? Would it be better than their compensation pick? If the kid was a 4th rounder and Boston offered up a 2nd I guess it might be worth it...if they even thought it was worth spending anything to get him in for the playoffs.
