I would have been more than fine with that term/dollars.
Even if he fades in years 3 and 4, you can easily bury/buy out that contract. It's not an anchor.
Disappointing because he was one of the few players who elevated their game in the playoffs. It'll be tough to replace him, especially as we have nobody in the organization that fits the bill as a similar type of player.
