After all of this, I'm not sure that's true.

Yeah. I really don't think it is. Basically, people either don't understand that his max extension will kick in 16/17 (the year the cap explodes) or they are anticipating the cap jumping from $89M to $108 in 2017- which may very well happen.

If it's the former, they are just misinformed. If it's the latter, it's tin foil hat time. He would have to be willing to pass up a guaranteed ~$140M this July for the chance to get more 2 years from now. There's betting on yourself and then there's insanity. That would be insanity. If he's that worried, he will make sure he gets a player option in year 3 of his extension. This is an absolute no brainer extension. I will be shocked if he doesn't come to an agreement early July 1.
