He's currently making $4MM. I wonder if he would be OK with signing on for another 4 years at $4MM. I would be very OK with that deal.

Yeah, not going to happen. Of the top 9 scorers in the league last year, at 4 million he would be getting paid the lowest by 1.25 million. The average salaries of those other 8 is a shade over 7 million. If he replicates last season, he'll get that on the open market. Best hometown discount would likely be in 5.5-6.0 million, taking into account Treliving wizardry, hopefully somewhere around the low to mid 5 million.
