I mostly find it annoying how some posters are claiming his rumored initial ask of 9 million per season on an 8 year contract is a demand.

If we want to compete within the next 5 years then we need to keep Gio. He is our best player. The actual contract that he signs will be much much more reasonable than his initial ask.

Edit: I don't mean to derail, my bad
