If that's the case, we should keep him next year since he'll be playing for his next payday. If we're doing good by the deadline with a real playoff run in sight (and I mean a REAL playoff run, not a 6-8 seed destined to be knocked out in one round), we keep him and then see if we can trade his negotiating rights after the season for a 3rd or something. If not, we ask him to waive and we send him to a contender as an expensive rental.
If he sucks next year for some reason tho...
