I think everyone on this topic is ignoring that it is really Watson that is in the drivers seat here. He is the one with the no trade clause. Meaning, if I am him, I don't want the team to over pay for me. Wouldn't matter how much each team offered as I can simply refuse to accept a trade to any team but the one I prefer, and at a price that is acceptable to me. Otherwise, I just stay in Houston and collect my check for two years, and then sign with the team I'd prefer to play with as a free agent without costing that team any assets. I would want to win the SB. The more assets they retain. The better my chances. Not worried about Houston as they are no longer the team of my future. Watson is the one with the power, not Houston.
