No doubt, you could be exactly correct on this, however isn't it true that he has the option to not participate in OTA's, in fact almost everything except regular season games? That would tender (pardon the pun) a pretty severe blow to team chemistry, and send a clear message that he wants out. Granted he doesn't seem the type, but as I've said time and again, this is business.
BTW: Sorry for the delayed response.......such is life when there is a honey dew list!!
Again... sure he could do exactly that. But what purpose would it serve for him as a player and a businessman to in effect LOWER his own value. Right now aside from You, Dean and a few nutcase fans who want to paint Kirk out as the bad guy in this situation, he has done nothing to actually be painted as the bad guy. He has done exactly what I would expect ANY of us to do in this situation. Hell unless its a job for family, I doubt any of us would leave money on the table just to seem like the nice guy.
Kirk wont hold out, he might try and force a trade. But realistically even that has more to do with failures of the team than some evil intent by Kirk.
