One day soon we may get news out of the blue that he's been traded. But as long as he is still a Mav, we are going to be in the dark on any extension (or lack of one) until well past the active trade season (that extends from now until the end of July or so), until we get to around Sept 1.
Why? He can't be extended until the end of August. And it's cap-illegal to speak of a deal in advance (especially so far in advance, since lots can go wrong). His best trade value is obviously with a longer deal already in place. So we really can't be sure he's going to stay a Mav until we arrive at Sept 1 and yep, he's still on the roster. If that happens.
Thanks for this. If my early morning math is right, his six month window after signing what he's eligible to sign would carry beyond the TDL. So, if you trade him, it is without additional years and if you give him additional years, you can't trade him (unless the number comes in within the E & T number...which it won't).
