Oh, FOR SURE. And they know that. And they decided not to move him. That means that either they believe they'll be able to reach an agreement with him they can live with, financially, or that they're willing to risk losing him for nothing (or getting much less in exchange) in order to maximize THIS SEASON's stretch run. Basically, they REALLY want to make the playoffs and make some noise after all these years, and that was their primary focus when push came to shove.
If they DON'T want to pay him market value (that's the big if, imo - I bet they do) then I don't think they're under any illusions about what they'll get back in a sign and trade.

Yeah, I think the Collins dream just died at the deadline, but seeing what Vucevic went for, it was probably never alive to begin with.
