Other than the contract situation, Rebraca would certainly seem to be expendable. But he isnt a top tier center so he wont be a hot commodity that would induce someone to send Det that luscious zero contract in exchange.

And Rebraca has a nasty kicker on the other end - even if you trade for him, you dont get matching ability to keep him: you will have to use up cap room or MLE space to keep him. So he is a rent-a-player (only) that is of moderate ability: that makes him not very desirable in a trade.

Rebraca's best deal for his future would be to re-sign with Det to get that 3rd consecutive year that will carry matching rights in the future - but Det is almost certain to be unable to do that, for cap reasons. If things dont work out for the Mavs this summer with 'Tag or 'Sheed for the MLE, he could definitely be another one to keep an eye on. You might be able to get him for much less than the full MLE and then also end up with MLE leftovers to offer to MDaniels.
