Completely disagree with those saying Johnny lighting it up in this tournament will have no impact on these negotiations. I agree there is a big chance they won't, but to slam the door shut on the potential seems silly.
Through the first few exhibition games, it looks like everyone has come to play and will take it seriously. If team NA makes a serious impact on this tournament, and Johnny is leading the way or is one of the best players, how can it not? Especially considering this contract negotiation is all about the future value of the player and just how big an impact player he will be. If JG shows he's one of the best in the world on a best on best stage that looks like it's not going to be the exhibition many thought it would be, that's some substantial ammo for JG and his camp to use with BT.
