since IT peddled him around last year and the bets he could get was malik rose and a 30th pick in the draft--what we'll he be worth now that he signed a more lucrative contract and cant play all summer?
I'm sure he could have gotten more than that. I think Isiah made it clear that he was listening to offers involving Kurt, but he wasn't desperately searching to trade him. I don't think Kurt will be out all summer, either. The max they said was 3 months. It's probably a range of like 1.5 to 3 months. Even if it's 3 months, that gives him 2 months to shake off his rust before the season starts.
Also, Kurt's barely making more than the mle ($5.8 mil). That's a very reasonable salary. The contract does not make him harder to trade.
