Ah, didn't realize that. Going to be very, very hard to sell him on a discount in that case, I think.I don't believe he can get a no trade clause even if the team allowed it. To be eligible, you have to have been in the league for at least 8 years (and 4 years with the team), and he just finished year 7. The timing of players getting super max deals (usually after year 7) is partially responsible for why no trade clauses are so rare.
