They could get something for facilitating his path to a team of his choosing, but it probably won't be commensurate with the value of DFS/Dinwiddie/unprtected '29 (UNPROTECTED!!).
Even if he's not a fit, better to sign him and trade him a year or two into the deal, after (hopefully) a relatively quiet time here. Or, maybe he fits great and they keep him. Anything but one of those two outcomes and it was one of the dumber trades I can remember.
We can even look at things now where he plays 1-3 games and is out 1-3 games. I’ve argued that Kidd plays him too many minutes, but that pattern when he’s trying to secure his future contract looks to me to just be worse when he’s not.
We absolutely have to sign him for whatever will keep him here, then trade him for as much as we can get as soon as we can.
