As Dannno pointed out in another thread I wasn't thinking about bonus money staying with the team.

So while my example failed miserably my argument stands. Nearly all players have one season in their career where their perceived ability and their actual ability is on the decline. If you miss that season you miss the opportunity to get as much value out if a trade as possible.

We keep hanging onto players till the tank is empty and don't get anything but an empty spot in return.
