I think I mentioned it already, but if I didn't, remember that Aldrich's contract is a mechanism we can use to add 2018 salary.
For example, suppose a win-later team has a mediocre contract at the deadline, and would like to add cap space for 2018. They may be very interested in trading a two year deal for Aldrich, with the end goal of waiving Aldridge. In PHX, Jared Dudley makes $10 mil this year and $9.6 mil in 2018. If they swapped him for Aldrich, they would get Cole plus a TPE for $2.7 mil this season, and next season they decline the team option, and are only responsible for $2 mil, adding $7.6 mil in cap space for 2018. MIN shouldn't mind the extra salary in 2018 either, because they are already over the cap, and I assume under the lux for that season.
