I think it is entirely the 1/3 buyout window. If it were 2/3 like it will be after late June, no one would even entertain it.If it was a system thing, no one would suggest buying him out. Its not. It’s the same PLD effort level issue. They either have to buy him out in a small window for 1/3 or potentially have to live with his effort levels dragging the team down for 7 more years
They do need to find someone who can unlock consistent effort from him for the long term.
