Part of the reason is that he is a very versatile rotational player that fits a lot of situations and we are very limited on tradeable assets.
The other part is that he has underperformed in a small sample of two playoff series (one in which he was playing hurt) so folks are down on him. He does have his limitations. His minutes needs to be managed or he wears down, and his offensive game is limited. I would prefer to keep him, but if it is a trade someone like Collins, you have to pull that trigger.
