Tonight I was listening to Prime Time Sports in Canada (Toronto) they had Marv on for a live interview......they asked the usual questions.....was Willis traded because of statements made in Playboy Blah Blah Blah.....was it attitude, character etc etc...Marv gave the standard answers we have been hearing all day....but.....the comment that caught my ear (and the interviewers) was that in talks with Willis and his agent they were made aware(or reminded) that Willis, without a contract extention could sit out 10 games next year and still be a FA at the end of the season....Marv said they had to take that into account when considering trading Willis......It sounded to me that they didn't have a choice.....and getting 3 picks is better than none.....if anyone else saw the program they can confirm this....sorry no link this is a TV/Radio program in Canada.....
