Perhaps there will be no max offer on the table for him and they will negotiate for less. Worst case, they just match the max offer he gets. Plus, because they didn't extend him at max, they have one more season to determine how much he is worth. It would be impossible to trade him, if he would sign his extension. This way they have all the options open. What I am certain - option that they just let him walk for nothing (not match whatever offer he gets) is not on a table for them.
Because it is the smart thing to do if he is a cornerstone. Beat writers across the NBA were expressing their surprise across the league that they didn’t sign. Don’t forget, it is not me but everyone else that says they are not getting rid of him. Lastly, I don’t think I have ever suggested that they will let him walk for free.
That was actually discussed by many insider beat writers, it is not just my opinion.

I have seen more beat writers who think he will leave then stay
So how would giving him a max manage this risk in your opinion? Don't you think, the risk wiould actually be higher... Because if he alienates with Trae you have a max contract you need to get rid of on your hands.. Well, actually you would not be able to get rid of him this season, because of the extension.
