Yeah, its a tough decision. The thing is, if players were confident in their abilities to consistently play at the highest level they'd prefer short-term contracts in order to maximize on more recent precedents and cap increases.
However, in the game of professional sports there are ebbs and flows in performance, they are actual humans rather than robots, and seriously, at his age and with his injuries he'll want the security of a long-term contract.
I agree that he can have term, or dollars, but not both. If he gets both then this team is in trouble before we're half-way through.
