The current AI seems ok with cutting or waiving a player with no future, where a real GM would put them on the trade block and field offers from rebuilding teams.
Obviously most scenarios and transactions are less extreme than that, but I think the AI would rather throw away a player that isn't in their plans than "lose" a "bad" trade.

That's under the impression that a team wants said bad player. OSA is just media; an opposing team's scout may have also rated him poorly. OSA isn't accurate, and I believe they don't exceed average accuracy. A team would have to find a package deal to include that guy; they usually do that, and changing trade settings to favor prospects helps this too. Heavily favoring prospects is good because most coaches in the game are set to favor vets heavily, so it balances the game out.
