That’s what makes him our best trade chip. He goes to a contender and they slot him on the 2nd pair and he has a reasonable cap hit for the remainder of this year and next so it’s easy to take on.
A team likely pays up for him. I don’t mean trade him next week. The deadline or a little earlier or the draft.
