Don't even negotiate with him on a 3 year...done deal.
If he wants term of 5 to 6 years he better be closer to 7.0 - 7.5 per year or it will be a boat anchor of a contract. Coming off a serious injury and 33 years old at time contract kicks in...hope management doesn't make a huge mistake here.
Love the guy but truth be known this team shouldn't be a legitimate perennial contender until the 2017-18 or 2018-19 season.
