He also doesn’t have to be traded until the deadline (although there are problems with this).
Perhaps this year the stars have aligned for a big overpayment for our guy.

There appears to be tons of cap space out there, but the contracts about to be dished out and going to be huge and not just with UFA's, RFAs too. Also, some massive names that need to be signed next year.
I think there will be a trade market created after free agent frenzy. Teams get a player and then trade someone else. Teams that can sign their big free agents on July 1 a year early, those contracts will start rolling in too. Cap space will disappear quick and teams could be trading existing players after landing someone they are after.
