I try to always trade players like that but I start an immediate rebuild process. And completely shed payroll.
If the contract is for 2 or 3 years and I know I won't be good I have no problem eating 100% of the costs if it gets me 2-3 prospects.
Absolute worst is when you have to eat >50% and include a good prospect to dump him. But sometimes its needed. I look for those 18 year olds that teams want but they could 5-8 years away from the show. So I don't mind losing them. I'll gain plenty of prospects back in that time.
