I think you consider trading him when either
- When you have a great deal and specific team to present to him AND if he's expressed openness to a change. And that could come if/when the team has a bad start
- Or when his NTC becomes a modified NTC.

But right now I see it as this.

After ALL the players that engineered leaving here, and wouldn't re-sign. And after ALL the players who won't accept a trade here. You are going to go to a guy who DID sign here, and has said he WANTS to stay and say "no man, we need to trade you because you are hurting our tank. And we will trade you wherever you want to go, for whatever return, because we need those L's!".

I see that as a brutal strategy that will lead to a Buffalo style endless cycle at the bottom.
The idea of trading good players because they are "hurting the tank" is the wrong attitude IMHO.
