Both out of respect for what he's done for us, and also as a way of gathering more assets.
If the team makes even token efforts at remaining decent next year as they enter a kind of quick re-tool, either via the Boston trade or some other avenue, then I think he stays with zero complaint.
I actually think he would stay even in the first case, as a mentor and a team leader, but either way the only way I move him is if he requests it.
