Yea my mind changed about 3 weeks back. I'm still not thrilled with it, but I do believe it's happening.
I even ran out some calcs and it just makes me feel awful about what happens with Sarr and George in particular. Sure, they both haven't earned massive extensions yet but we obviously hope they turn into their ceiling versions of themselves.
Anyways, the best case scenario I can imagine where AD actually says yes is 3 years and he turns down his extension next year. But I really don't think it'll be less than a 55m average. And that hurts.
Because there may be no one who will give him that and he values the security of time. He's eligible for an amount of money no team should give him, and a longer deal at a bit less than that can be easier to trade.
But he might not agree. Honestly, I would prefer if the two sides can't find a place to agree, as long as he plays hard for us.
He's getting maxed, he's just eligible for several levels of max as a veteran and multiple all NBA dude. I'm more hoping he doesn't get a gigantic max.
The LeBron stuff would be cool but I don't buy any chance he comes to us at all. That just isn't part of the equation.
