This season is year 3 of his 5 year contract. He will be an unrestricted free agent in 2 years during the summer of 2018. I think time is running out and I could see him wanting to leave for the Lakers or Clippers by then.
Can we trade him for Jimmy Butler, who won't be a UFA until 2020 and is a local product.
