Dan. From the CBA article 4 section 8b
This is the rule I was thinking about when I said they would be violating the CBA if they tag KC.

A Club extending a Required Tender must, for so long as that Tender is

extended, have a good faith intention to employ the player receiving the Tender at the

Tender compensation level during the upcoming season. It shall be deemed to be a

violation of this provision if, while the tender is outstanding, a Club insists that such a

player agree to a Player Contract at a compensation level during the upcoming season

below that of the Required Tender amount. The foregoing shall not affect any rights that

a Club may have under the Player Contract or this Agreement, including but not limited

to the right to terminate the contract, renegotiate the contract, or to trade the player if

such termination, renegotiation, or trade is otherwise permitted by the Player Contract or

this Agreement.

Yes they can try to trade him BUT you can't tag him with the intent to trade him
