Curious, but when did we give Williams the 2 year extension? I'm sure I could be missing something .but wasn't that around the timeline where this could have been discovered?
I think if they're dead set on trading him. They'd try to arbitrate as low as possible. They wouldn't care if he's pissed(he'd be gone) and the team trading for wouldn't have to pay him as much. Maybe we get an extra lotto guy in the deal:)
