What's the point in early extending if the player is just going to demand more money when the market moves? In essence there is no benefit then to early extensions.
Good point. But I think you mean no financial advantage. I'd argue there are other benefits. Chemistry. Attitude. The perception of the team in recruiting FA's (more atteactive destination if Trey is locked up AND guys know they get paid if they ball out). Having Trey help Stewart. Getting off to a better start. Knowing the exact amount of cap space we have early on.
