2728090, The value of the contract is just right

He got paid and didn't have to risk losing out on money if he would have gotten hurt this year.
If he would have balled out this year the Lakers probably would have to pay much more than ~13M to keep him.
It's a win/win and like you said if need be, the Lakers can probably trade his contract relatively easily and probably get a favorable return.
