You have a choice. If you want to go get an MLE job somewhere, you can make $28mm next season, but you can’t do it here because we will S/W you if you want to go. If you want to stay on a minimum, great, love to have you, but we can’t S/W you in that scenario. We need to plan around your decision, so you have X days to let us know. Our base presumption is you are looking for the money, so we will S/W unless you agree to take the minimum. Have a nice day.
I like this analysis of the PHX situation. Thank you.
