Question about the upcoming AD extension...

I don't doubt that AD will re-sign with the Pelicans and be with the team for at least another 4 seasons, but would he make more money by signing the QO and then re-signing with us? I know this was being talked about on the twitters, but I was under the impression that max contracts were based on percentage of the cap and not a specific dollar amount. So I don't see why it would make a difference.
If I'm wrong, then it brings up another question: if AD WOULD make more money with the QO + Pels extension in 2016's offseason, wouldn't it be the best thing for both sides? Would it not free up like $10m this season, giving us some serious options in free agency is we do some combination of either dealing Gordon/Ryno and not re-signing Asik?

It certainly wouldn't be best for us. The amount of coverage it would get would be deafening. It would be an awful situation.

You don't take on the injury risk of the QO period.

Max contracts are based upon a percentage, so it wouldn't make a difference.

Signing the QO would be awful for the Pelicans and that wouldn't be until next summer, IIRC. Theoretically, he could make more $, but that's assuming the cap goes from $88 to $100+. That's entirely possible, but no one really knows what will happen.
There has been some talk of AD not signing this summer and then using his smaller cap hit to load up in FA before signing next summer. Unlike the QO route, they still retain his restricted rights. But they can hold off signing him to maximize their cap flexibility. Connjecture is that is what the Spurs are doing with Kawhi.
To me, it seems sort of silly. Davis is the franchise. Don't mess around with him. Lock him up for as much as he wants as soon as possible. He'll get ~30% of the $88M cap for 5 years and be set for life.

He will take his 5 yr extension for $140M and be happy really happy about it.
