I don't think its that cut and dry. Unfortunately, at fans, we will only see the major results coming out of that meeting. Either he will sign the contract or opt in or nothing.

But I think a lot of sincere words and promises can be said in that meeting that could make me feel comfortable going into the season with AD on my roster and no extension signed yet.

I will say this -- It is not AD or Rich Paul I am worried about. There is another figure that I think is most important for Griffin to win over. If he is open minded, I would feel good about AD staying. If not, I ship out AD in June.

I’m sorry but no. It is that cut and dry.

If he doesn’t agree to opt in by a certain time or sign the max, you just cannot go into the season with him. You have to maximize your value and ability to obtain other talent.

I know you’re trying to lay the base here for multiple scenarios and to play devils advocate for them, but you simply cannot support allowing this to slide into the season without any extra years, if legit offers are on the table this offseason.

We can, however, propagate that sentiment in the hopes that other teams believe it.

So AD is not adult enough to make a decision himself

Griffin is no better or worse than Demps if he allows this to happen. I can’t see him being that dense.

Our fan base/coaching staff/players deserve not to be dealing with this shite and the cloud hanging over the season.

I’m not even going to get into how dumb it is from a devaluing of your asset aspect. The previous point alone is enough. Don’t start the Zion era with this will he/won’t he bullshite.
