I won't be too surprised if the reports are right and he doesn't intend to play under the tag Mike decides to trade him to a dead last place team for a high pick in next years draft ala Carson Palmer.. Don't think some lousy team isn't willing to trade a high pick for him.. Dumb trades are made every season.. 

Was gonna mention the same, playing Hard Ball with MB doesn't usually end to well.

MB gets paid whether Bates plays or not, it's all up to Bates if he wants to miss out getting paid on one of his limited, but prime years.
