If Cuban doesn't want to keep him, or thinks the price will be too high, the best decision really could be to keep JB for the rest of the season and then wish him well in the summer. Considering that it may not be possible to get much of anything back for him in trade, maybe the best use of this asset would be to use him to give the team their best chance in this year's playoffs. (Not saying that's for sure, but I can see that being a reasonable decision.)
So Nico doesn't have to do a thing!! Man, easy job!
