Think of it this way... The Lakers like him well enough that they offered him the max allowable extension. Knowing that, he's just betting that they'll also be willing to offer him more than that in the offseason with less restrictions on a new contract vs. an extension. Or if not, LA will still probably want to work on a S&T so that they can continue adding to the team over the cap. One way or another, I have a feeling it will work out in his favor.
