If he could play they would be better off with him playing in any scenario. Even if they had to trade another good player up for contract for multiple firsts or whatever.

Honestly I am not buying it. Why would he not have surgery right after the playoffs, why wait till the last second to announce this, seems fishy. It could be hip surgery for something minor, or maybe he elected this as opposed to rehab once the team had cap problems....surgery 6 months out....rehab maybe only 2-3 months out.
