So it’s the Hanifin situation all over again. Granting the player space because they think they can maximize return by getting it to go with an extension, when all that really does is turn the table and effectively give the player a full-NTC which doesn’t actually improve trade value.
Just trade him as a player with 50% retained on a 1-year contract and be done with it.

Right but that's the default, and the default hasn't eroded at all.
You trade a player with a year left, retain salary and move on. By trying to do a deal to a team that he will sign with might get you more, and if not you still have the default.
Not speaking to you on this part ... but I think some fans have a tough time managing their desire for newsy trades, and lash out at things with almost zero knowledge of what's going on.
Gets old.
