I'm not sure that is winning.

It is reasonable for him to get one. I hope he does not. You believe he will. I see no conflict.

Kyrie got one, so odds are he will. If so, the timeline is about 4 years from now until saber rattling means something.

I think with the inflationary cap environment he'll probably want one, but there are plenty of max guys that took the max years, Durant, Rose, Westbrook, Wall, Harden.

he should sign a one year deal and then reup on the max contract when the new bargaining deals starts and he can get more than the 140 mil

Another big thing is the looming CBA opt out which could kill the 17/18 season and dramatically alter (for good or bad) the landscape. Yet another reason Davis will accept the extension soon after it's offered. Locking in that much money with so much uncertainty is the only sane choice.

Max deals are based upon a percentage of the cap, if the cap rises, so does the salary.

I'm not sure how many times this will be stated.

I am surprised it took 4 pages for that to be stated.
I am also surprised that there is a 4 page thread on here that isn't a in-game thread.

The max deal is based on the percentage of the cap in the year it starts and you get 4.5% - 7.5% increases from there depending on how the deal is structured. If the cap jumps 21% in one year (I've seen talk of going to $89 then $108) while AD's salary only jumps 7.5%, then AD falls behind the pace of the cap. Now if it levels off at $108 then he should catch up with the cap by year 4 of his deal, but I'm not sure how high the cap is going and how much the TV deal escalates. With so much cap uncertainty it really is in AD's best interest to get as many player option years as he can.

Both Aldridge and Lowe have mentioned that. They also both say it's very real that the cap will drop to under $100M the year after a second spike. There was a morning tip about this a month ago
