If he retired, the Hawks get stuck with a $4.275 cap recapture every year for 4 years. That's a good reason to do what he's doing. He loses nothing here but helps the bhawks avoid trading out core players.

Maybe.. I might buy that it makes his decision to not play a bit easier, but to say that's his primary motivation says something about his character, I don't think most people value themselves so little that they'd lie so outrageously, basically fake an injury (in this case making it much more severe than it really is) so their friends have an incrementally better chance in the playoffs.
