Surprising to me, usually when players are going to be traded, the GM likes to be vocal about it, so that everyone knows that he wants to get rid of the player and they can basically offer anything for him. Also they tend to do this because it usually improves the morale of the player in case he doesnt get dealt, because he wants to play harder when the team doesnt want him. I see this as a bad sign if he says they wont trade him.
I don't because now BB can try and drive up the asking price for him. If he says he wants to trade him then his value suffers...IMO
