Essentially the same contract MPJ just got.
I don't think he's played himself into 30 mil a year with max raises. But 25-26? I'm ready to give that to him 100%.
So I think the real question is what is the max other teams can pay him. I believe that is 4/130?
I really don't think its going to cost 25-26. He just had two great playoff games, but they were against a terrible perimeter defense. At the end of the day, he is an undersized secondary playmaker who scores 16 a game and has average defense at best. That is just not the kind of guy teams offer the max to. My guess would be 4 for 80 or 90.
If they go on a long playoff run, and he plays like this against teams like the Suns, then we can start talking about 25+
