You trade for him to make sure you get him. If he is released he might sign somewhere else.
Since the team agreed to that when they signed him they would only have a problem if he was not earning his money and playing up to his contract.
1. The agent may put out word that the player will sit if traded.
2. Teams often still wait rather than giving up picks. Happens almost every year in sports. Surely you're not pretending this doesn't happen?
3. The OTHER team, Fred. The team looking to sign said player may not like the current structure or length of the contract. Contracts aren't one-size-fits-all.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
