Conny doesnt want more money, he wants a ring but teams that are in the running for a ring can't afford his salary, so his agent will have a quiet word and hey presto some ice girl says Conny pinched her arse and a cup contender loads up on talent for league min'.
This loop hole will be exploited by every aging star with 3 or 4 years left on their contract

The league loading McSweatpants up for his last year in Urineville before Pissy is traded.
