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'm no cap expert at all, but if this article is correct it indicates that he would make (slightly) more money by not opting out:

I don't really think he would sign with the Mavs at a minimum, but I do think there are a lot of factors he would consider beyond just money. Who knows though, that's what makes it fun!
