The 1yr deal showed the plan was undoubtedly to hope he played well enough to be a trade chip at the deadline for pick(s)/prospect(s).
I'd say they could do the same plan again next season, but it sounds like the plan this summer is to instead leave room for more young guys to fill out the roster. Which should both likely help team tank, but hopefully also give fans some shiny new coins to be excited about, on occasion at least.
