Let's be fair here, it is a negotiation and that's how the game works. That being said, if Giordano really is the captain everyone likes to state he is, he should be telling his agent that he needs to do everything in his power to ensure that this contract is both fair to the player and more importantly, fair to the team. This kind of deal can be the difference between handcuffing an organization and giving them the financial flexibility to make the moves necessary to win a championship.
If I was Gio, I'd be asking for 7M over 5 years, setting the bar for the rest of the team.
