The AD draft discussion is not based on "built-in disdain". Its based on some realities regarding AD, namely:
He is on a massive contract and teams are showing much more caution with that with this latest CBA
He will be 33 by the time playoffs start and is likely already starting his decline.
He is known as injury prone (and has been particularly so recently) which generally does not get better when approaching mid 30s.
I hope they manage to negotiate a great deal for AD, but if the best they can get is salary relief, Risacher and a quality first I would pull the trigger. Teams don't get desperate in the offseason and I think its more likely AD lowers his value than raises it if he stays through the end of the season.
Yeah I believe you are basically wrong all the way around. Most of what you say is based on fear. Fear is weakness. Fear is a losing strategy.
