Would Hayward take less than the max?

So we can offer 5 years 27 million per or 5 years 30 million per or 5 years 32 million per?

There is no minimum, only a maximum we can offer with the 5 years?

I believe so. BTP or GVC would know for sure but I'm pretty positive, yes.

I thought it was a set percentage. Why does everyone keep talking about some random 30% number then? Is it just cause we expect him to get the biggest # possible and that would be the biggest amount?

Your logic is flawed. In your case, the employee gets nothing else. You're considering only money. In Hayward's case, his sacrifice is for the team (him, the other players, and the coaching staff, NOT the FO) so that they can win a ring, something that really should be the goal for any competitive player.

What are you babbling about? By staying within my plan, he stays with a team he says he wants to lead, he doesn't have to move his family, he gets more money here than anywhere else and he is on what many consider a very strong team.

He's not sacrificing more than $2 per year. If anything, his life is better by staying. If he demanded all of it, he's sacrificing a good guy opportunity and chances to build or keep the best roster around him so he can contend for a title.

NO! And he shouldn't. Would you take less money in a company you have no stake in? Why should Hayward?

People often take less money to work someplace that's a better environment, closer to family, provides better opportunities, with co-workers or bosses that they like, and so forth. It's not uncommon at all. I myself have done that on two different occasions that I can think of.

I agree that it's not likely Hayward will take less than the max, but it sort of saddens me that things like my previous sentence don't happen more often with the large amount of money that's available in professional sports.

And the OKC pick is lotto protected. Why on Earth would they want that in a trade if they are tanking?

ROFL. So they wouldn't get their own pick if they are a bottom 14 team? Okay.

I think I misunderstand your post. You and I are on the same page.

Because he's probably gonna leave anyway and 3 1sts and a solid pg isn't God awful.

2 1st. 1 of them is just their own pick they would retain either way unless they miraculously make the playoffs without Westbrook or KD. Other teams are also trying to trade for Westbrook. You cant just lowball and expect to get him. You have to give up something of value.
