Thanks for the clarification. In essence, Luka's only real path to get paid is through the max extension, which can be offered and signed this coming off season, but becomes effective in late 2022.

I was just wondering if his agent would try and get cute with turning down this years extension offer if it would be larger after next season. But it doesn't sound like that's a path anyone takes.

yes.

There's nothing to be gained financially by waiting, if you have been offered a max extension. Not one penny. But plenty at risk, while you wait.

By waiting, the agent is risking his own payday too. So there's also that in the mix.
