We will sign him to max for 2017-2021 for about $15M-$16M per depending on the cap raise. The hard part will be extending him past 2021 or resigning when he's unrestricted.

Tell me one player that has turned down a max extension to play for the qualifying offer

Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but didn't Lebron do this when he left for Miami?

No it isn't. LeBron was on his 3rd contract and Unrestricted Free Agent, he took 6 years at $15ish instead of 6 years at $18ish. AD will be on his 2nd contract, a Restricted Free Agent choosing between 1 year at $9 million and 5 years around $140 million when the new TV money comes in. I wrote this explaining his contract situation before the new TV deal so it's an even bigger pile of money he'd be walking away from, but the basic principles of why AD will happily sign his contract extension remain the same LINK /
