    yeah but I’m not sure why he expects next year to be any better in that regard. CBA consequences will be even more set in stone and he’ll be another year older.

      I wonder if he’s thinking that whoever trades for him now is going to be absolutely cornered into extending him next year, since it will presumably be a deep tax contender.

      I don’t think he’s right, but that’s my best theory?
