It has been pointed out why here ad nauseum.
I mean, everyone is just talking in circles now. Every question has been answered, as you said.
JG is here until a team gets desperate and offers something before JG is released (which is likely where the team is--in hope mode), 8/30 he is released, 9/10 he is released, or he takes a pay cut. You aren't paying a guy 25M to ride the pine, whether your team can handle the financial impact or not. In order of likelihood, I see it as 2,3,1,4.
