Apologies if I am misinformed . However, the point surrounding extensions remains valid. People seem to be acting like the concept of an extension is all of the sudden novel to them. The deal was always going to add X years to his current deal, and it's the same thing that happens for 90% of these deals.
But seems like we are generally aligned on that this isn't a "team-friendly" deal, and it's a pretty standard, market-setting deal. I saw one poster claim it was team-friendly because the AAV was what he predicted it to be lol. I'm not sure it works that way; predicting the deal correctly = team friendly
