Is anyone worried how the Benson saga affects re-signing Davis?

Not that I think this is going to drag out, my gut says the courts will shoot this lawsuit down fairly quickly. But if they don't, I'm worried that Anthony Davis might say that there is too much instability and he'd rather play for a surer bet, with Chicago being at the top of the list. We're going to need to get him signed to the max sooner rather than later, thus the concern.

Davis will sign his contract extension most likely on July 1st, 2015 for New Orleans regardless of the owner situation. I don't get why so many people are paranoid he is leaving as soon as possible. More info about this can be found here: LINK

Getting a 'Rose Rule' max will likely mean a difference of 25-35 million over the course of his next 5-year contract.

While its more money, here is the good news: ONLY the Pels can give him that contract. Reason #25 its a lock he signs extension this summer.

Everyone seems to really like Gayle. I think she gives us a better chance at resigning AD compared to Rita, though I don't think we'll have an issue with the first resigning either way

Most NBA players could give a shite who the owner is as long as they don't pull a Donald Sterling or the owner ends up being the NBA. AD is going to be concerned about winning and money but it will all come back to the money in the end and N.O. is where he will get the most. He is also doing well in endorsements and exposure even though he is in the small market on a .500 team.

I can think of ~30million guranteed reasons why it won't.

I'm going out on a limb, but here's my bold prediction:
He will agree to a 5 year max extension that will ultimately pay him ~$125M. This will happen on July 1, 2015, also known as the first day it is available.
