The reason I would be agaisnt a 2 or 3 year deal is that, now that he has had a PPG season, I don't think you'd save a whole lot.
If we were talking a bridge deal of $2.5 - $3M AAV, then great.
But I think he would get close $5 on a 2 year deal, and more than that on a 3 year deal. So what's the point?
I think that with the talk of the cap being flat without the escalator, this might be a good time to be locking in long-term deals.
