My mind has always gone to the 2+1 that gets him to the 35% max sooner. Sam Quinn lines out three 'viable' options:

As far as Luka's extension goes, there are three viable options:
- 1+1. This aligns him with Jokic and Giannis, if that matters to him.
- 2+1. This gets him to 10 years of service and the 35% max as early as possible.
- 3+1. Just the most money possible right now.
For now, Giannis and Jokic are eligible for 2027 free agency. Recent history has taught us to expect extensions and/or trade requests before that.
Look out for Luka's extension structure too. If he signs a 1+1 to align with them, maybe free agency makes a big comeback in 2027. x.com/APH00PS/status…
Not that anyone cares, but I will be in Ljubljana on 8/25. It is a day trip excursion on a cruise I'm taking. I don't know how much free time I'll have, but if anyone from the area has a recommendation for a must see (other than standard cruise excursion stuff), I'd love to know.
