I think it's more giving him the option.
"Even though we are playing better, the numbers show that statistically it is highly unlikely we make the playoffs. And you know where we are with some of our pending free agents. While we don't intend to enter a full re-build, we are going to look more to the future for the remainder of this season. We have inbound interest from teams in playoff positions. If we can make a strong deal, would you be interested in moving to a contending team".
If handled well I don't see any issue.
