Not only is taking a discount (let alone the minimum) not going to enter into his thinking, I would bet my last dollar that the entire point of him opting out is to get more years and more money on this deal, which will probably be his last. We are talking about a guy who wants to own an NBA team. I do not believe it’s about playing with his son, and I do not believe it’s about going to a winning situation. I literally think this is all about getting the most money possible.
It will definitely be a fun, crazy thing to watch everybody overreact to every report and tweet over the next two months though. Not just Mavs fans - EVERYONE. My approach is going to be to refuse the cheese at every turn.
I don´t know. The guy is a billionaire that nearly lost his son 12 months ago. Might shift your priorities. He´s not catching up with Jordan. The Air is out of that one. He broke Kareem´s points record and it did not shift public opinion either.
I don´t expect him to sign a minimum deal, but $20-25M or even the MLE for a S&T to a contender that added Bronny. I could totally see that. If Lebron wants to play with his son on a contender, he´ll have to take a discount anyway, cause LeBron at $50M will likely be a net negative trade for all the assets and cap flexibility you´ll lose in the trade process.
