I think the idea is more that they don't want to trade him because they don't think they can get much of anything for him. And by the end of the season, maybe he becomes more enthusiastic about staying. Or other teams don't offer him anything he wants. Or maybe they can work out some kind of sign-and-trade.
We may or may not agree with the assessment. But I don't find it hard to believe that this is the plan.
