Inigo Montoya must be rubbing off on you in stating the obvious. Nobody is saying Utah can force him not to take the QO.
Like I have posted before, Utah will take some risk with an overpay, with the idea that Dante will live up to his contract, in order to avoid Dante becoming unrestricted in one year. And Dante, who has now suffered 2 serious injuries, is not going to turn down 35-40 million to gamble on more money. He just watched George Hill get torched by turning down money, and the entire league is aware of what happened with Noel.
That's the thing... I don't think the Jazz give him 40M.
