Sign with a team that can afford to give him 4M and will give a NMC.
Be able to rest and rehab any injuries instead of playing through them fighting for a playoff spot.
Get moved at the deadline to one of his preferred teams at a massively reduced salary allowing them to load up.
Trying to pick a cup winner is tough at any time but it's a lot easier in March than it is on July 1st.

It’s not a terrible take, I wonder if there might be more and more players trying this type of approach. There’s a couple of risks. One - the team you sign with out performs and finds themselves in a playoff race, Now the GM doesn’t want to trade you and you are ona team scraping in but not challenging for the cup. The other is some sort of injury around TDL and not getting moved.
Still, would have to think it’s not a bad plan. There’s risks as you point out in picking the winner in July too.
