I don't normally post in these trade offers since I am not on the TC, but I don't see anything about the injury he had. Yes we are simming a year where there are no injuries, but we will be playing for real at the start of the season. Achilles injuries are notoriously bad for basketball players and most never return to the same form.
I assume a lot of teams were cautious about even looking to sign Matthews this off season, so knowing the injury of the real life player I believe should have effect on the sim life of the player as well.

I don't disagree with this. But it is also kind of a moot point. He's not injured currently, and he'll be re-signed before we ever know what the injury will do to his career. The only thing we can do is decrease his rating if it becomes clear that he's not the same player, but he shouldn't be devalued before then, and it's impossible to treat him like anything less than the player he was before injury when he can't be injured. Unless some karma-obsessed ghost/hacker sneaks into the sim and gives Billy hell by causing Matthews to tear his Achilles in the first minute of every game for the rest of the season, Matthews is still worth more than what's being offered here for his services the rest of the season. |

To clarify: Matthews trade value should exactly equal to when he wasn't injured because the injury will 100% affect the price he'll sign for in the offseason. And in my opinion, that just makes this trade even more sketchy, because if Matthews stays in Houston and comes back looking great, Steven will have traded for Matthews AND re-signed Matthews for pennies on the dollar.
