I'm just wondering how a trade would work out for him and how a team might be able to restructure his current contract.

Someone once said (I think it might have been Prisco) that you have to claim anything you've already paid a player, meaning if you have a certain amount of dead money associated with a player, that won't go away by trading them.  I believe the 6.5 guarantee is part of the signing bonus, pro-rated that has already been paid.  Restructuring would allow you to push a little more of his current salary into a future year but wouldn't help with any dead money. At least that's been my interpretation.
