Everyone probably benefits from a trade scenario where he goes to a team that is not in a city with a vaccine mandate, but with him being such a mercurial player in the last year of a contract, it's difficult to gauge what the trade value is.

Interesting. I imagine he succumbs to the pressure and reluctantly gets his shot. The team seems to be playing it nice in hopes his latest triggering doesn’t upset him too much. I can’t imagine they’re trading him as they’re the favourites now. I think once his money depletes he’ll be reasonable. As for the second question, that’s a general q around what a vaccine will do for you. I got mine, but I haven’t heard of a reasonable explanation if the vaccine makes you less transmissible if you received your required shots.
