5yrs/210 should start him right at ~37 mil.
My own thinking is
1 Anything is negotiable
2 I like the "same as Luka" offer (both amount, and length) because it has a reason to it, that he might embrace
3 You are committing to him, so let him commit to you too, as one of your 2 big-salary guys
4 I don't like a random number or scheme with the premise "let's wrestle and scheme for the best way to beat down the other side in this agreement" because then his goal is "the biggest number" (max) rather than the best team possible
5 Does 37 allow anything that 40 doesn't? Or does it just pad Cuban's wallet instead of Kyrie's?
