Well I´m not well versed in American law, but if he signs the divorce papers before his contract extension, what is her cut? His rookie contract earned him $4M a year, so say her cut is 50%, she gets $2M/ p.a. If he signed a conservative 40/4 deal, now she´s entitled to $5M p.a. He signed 80/4, it rises to $10M p.a. That could be plenty of motivation to get the divorce first and then sign a bigger contract.
