I don't think you are being realistic here. He is certainly worth more. Over 14 points per game on 40 % 3P, not being a hole on defense and just starting his primer years. I am actually worried he will opt out.
I actually thought he was making 20m this year and 22m if he opts in next year. I was thinking a new contract starting in the 12m range. I don't think saying he might not take that or that we'd be outbid is unrealistic, that's just the type of contract I'd want to offer him. Apologies.
He won the lottery with that contract. I would offer him a four-year starting at $14 mil. That ought to be movable if needed in 2021.
A contract you can trade would be my main goal. I think he's worked himself up to a neutral asset based on his current play, but again he needs to be in a very specific situation for success. I wouldn't mind a 14m flat contract.
