This conversation is why I'm still on the fence about whether or not AD should even be traded soon.
I'm closer to SH's evaluation of the player (though I admit the injuries have to be factored in, and that's problematic), so...if you're not getting something great back for him, and you're losing anyway because you have no offensive engine, why trade him? Maybe you get the offense solved by next year in a different way, or in a variety of different ways, and then you get the benefit of having the guy around? I do value what he brings to the table when healthy a great deal, after all.
Then again, I'm not against trading him, either. He's injury prone and expensive. If someone makes an offer that moves the team forward in a meaningful way, I'm all ears.
