I just thought of something, a few days ago I read a couple people speculating that the next CBA will give teams another amnesty clause. If Pat feels like that'll be the case, they may match TJ and have him for a good price for the next 2 years. Then, when it gets to years 3 and 4, if they feel he's not worth that money and they can't trade him, they can amnesty him and get out from that contract.
