One team used the MLE this summer and that was only for one guaranteed year. Every year guys get squeezed but they are typically a little older and maybe less accomplished than Trent. You also saw Brunson taking a smaller deal and their are reports Bridges will do the same. I wonder if this becomes a trend? If so, the players organization will not like if players face pressure to take less to keep team together as the owners keep seeing their valuation increase. Something to monitor over the next few years.
Good point. But I don't think there is anything the PA can do about it. They may not like it, but they can't dictate to a player how to work his contract.
