The only value Fields has to the team is an expiring $6.25M salary (on payroll) and $8.5M in reality. He will not be traded. Expiring contracts are only worth value when other teams are trying to shed their bloated salary to get under the cap quicker. So if you want to exchange Fields for another crappy player than sure but I don't see MU doing that - even if draft picks were returned.
Plus the 'bad contract' has almost disappeared in the new CBA. Most contract are for only 4 years, and players up for trade possibly at their 3 year mark. The 5 year contracts are typically designated as the star player on that team.. and if a team is willing to give that guy up for a player like Fields than you know that player sucks.
With Casey's contract renewed I just don't see how Fields gets playing time. What would be different this year as compared to last year? His shot will probably still be broken. He can still play defense but he's not really a veteran so someone else will get more minutes.
He will be BC's last mistake that MU will need to correct.. I just see him expiring though by the end of next year.
