Well, if he gets anything even close to the full value as a buy-out, and
can sign for anything greater than the difference, he wins.  To come out
ahead, he doesn't need to find a team to pay him big-time money.  If I'm
due $3 million, and get bought out for $2 million, I only need to sign
with another team for $1,000,001 for it to be worth it, and to another
team, a guy with the raw talent, for the much smaller amount of money,
might well make sense.
