To sum up my confusion in a more concise manner - In one breath you're saying they'll take him off waivers because they don't have to give anything up for him, and in another breath you're saying that right now not only would teams not take him for nothing, but we'd have to add to make them take him off our hands.
You're acting like the "free asset" part of waivers makes Stone a great pick up, yet his value is worse than free as we would have to add.
