That was my initial reaction as well, but when you click on the scissors icon on spotrac it actually shows a cap savings this year with most of the hit happening next year for a post June 1st trade which is what this would be.  As long as we're comfortable with the hit next year, his cap hit shouldn't be a detriment to trading him.
