"...with a 3+1, he's eligible for the supermax sooner than if he does a 4+1"
I didn't think about this part in our discussion earlier, but this ^ is factually incorrect. The soonest the 3rd contract "supermax" can take effect is after year 8.
And another point I failed to mention, threatening to sign a QO and then walk to supposedly get more money would be an empty threat, inasmuch as a player will NEVER be eligible for a contract that jumps him up to the next tier (so-called supermax eligibility) if he signs a QO and walks.
Luka will sign a 4+1.
