You can choose what you want to believe but we aren't privy to the behind the scenes stuff. The most obvious explanation for waiting until now especially after picking up the 5th year option is that originally he was part of future plans but now isn't.
There are several possible reasons for that. Him wanting out is always a possibility even though he said he wanted to stay. For the purposes of this post though I'll assume he was being truthful. That leaves a few other reasons. Negotiations for a future deal didn't line up with what the team was willing to pay. Potential confidence in Brock Wright and/or James Mitchell. They could have been actively looking to ship him for either reason or a combo of both. Or they could have just been open to offers they received for the same reasons.
