He's taking a risk with a big role on a premier team that needs his services that he'll be showcased so he can parlay that into a bigger deal next season.
Player option is 100% justified for that.
I don't disagree. Just hopeful when it was not reported at first. He is either going to be a one and done (most likely) or dead weight next year.
