This is true but the deal could just as easily be structured 3.25, 3.5, 3.75. Result is he still gets overpayed to get the 3rd year.
You can throw these on the table and tell him to pick one.
Edit: no 1 year
2x2.5ish aav
3x3.5ish aav (overpayment to get the 3rd year)
Unless they can work out a long term deal which I just can't see.
I'm sure it will get figured out here. It doesn't make sense on either side to let this go into training camp.
