Agreed.

If DeRo got himself out of a contract "negotiation" in which he desired more money and was traded to Toronto for James and allocation money, what makes us think that an older DeRo who is in another contract "negotiation" in which he desires more money, is going to have a trade value HIGHER than James + allocation money?
