I agree with that in theory, but for our expiring vets (I'm thinking mostly of Mills and Gay here), their best value is to a team trying to add another player, who happens to be on an expiring contract, for the last push to try and go deep into the playoffs. I think the calculus for a lot of teams will be different in the offseason in regards to those two players, as they would simply sign them or not. Don't get wrong, I hope that's not the case, but I see today as an opportunity to move on from Mills and Gay and try to get at least something in return.
