It's a big story here. I'm sure those other holdouts are big stories in their respective cities.

Actually the holdouts in general are a big story because many of them area a result of the upcoming bargaining agreement So anyone who doesn't have guaranteed money between now and when the current CBA expires is probably going to hold out to get some insurance money.

That's the financial part of the TW situation that few people talk about (which is what Trent's agent probably wants to happen). TW has no guaranteed money left in his contract and the team can release him with little repercussion. So any guaranteed money would be insurance to him if there is no CBA agreement and players go on strike.
