You basically gave us little to no information to work with. Overall, at first look, I would agree that they just gave him a 7 year contract, and he's a top if not elite player, so why trade him? Without context...

I understand the points you're trying to make but it would need to be one hell of a web of non-negotiable factors in order for this sort of trade to pass the smell test.
