    isn't that a distinction without a difference?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yes. I made that point explicitly here: "if Olshey is valuing CJ as his on-court ability only, for example, then in a sense he is unwilling to trade CJ."

    The overarching point of my post was that it's not "Olshey would trade CJ but his contract is too big" or "Olshey won't trade CJ"...it's that these points are interconnected and the ultimate result is that if Olshey isn't willing to value CJ the way the rest of the market is, then that's the same as not wanting to trade CJ, even if technically there's a difference between those two positions.

    If I have a car I complain I can't sell which I'm pricing at way above blue book value, and someone says "It sounds like you really don't want to sell it," then responding with, "I'd absolutely sell it for a million dollars" doesn't really refute the observation.

    To summize, NO is just not in touch with reality, regardless.
