You would think that there could be a scenario where that makes sense. But imo they would consider it their worst option (since they have to pay for it for 4 more years), and it would only be a backup plan. And probably only would get triggered if they have something vital that depends on it, and are backed into a corner, although a standalone trade does open up even more room and doesn't keep hitting their cap in future years and is less expensive for Cuban (which doesn't matter to us, but certainly is a factor with him).
