He’s not returning anything of value as a TDL rental. Or, if you plan to keep him even for this year, I agree with you, offer him the max extension as soon as possible. Gotta think fast in the NBA or you’ll get left holding your dick, like the Mavs did with JB.I can’t remember the actual numbers someone reported, but I remember someone saying if we offer the max before sometime in Dec his max extension is basically an extension of his current $14M contract. After it becomes much more? Am I remembering that correctly? I say figure out early in Nov that he works with Luka and extend him on his lower max extension amount, if that is true.
I think it might be figured out as soon as training camp, but I don’t think we should do it right now. Gotta find the sweet spot where there are still question marks in his mind, but less in our mind about fit. Otherwise he won’t accept the lower number even if we offer it.
