Yes. Oct 1. After that date, everything changes and it would be disaster for LM.
On Oct 2, there is no QO that he can accept. But he's still a RFA, and at the mercy of whatever offer CHI wants to make, for however many years and at whatever amount. And if he signs nothing, he continues to be RFA again the next season, so long as CHI gives him that QO from season start to Oct 1.
In other words, unless he's really stupid, he WILL do something by Oct 1 (which could be part of the mythical Dragic-LM to Dallas package on that day that needs Brown to be included), but that's the latest he will let it go.
