Would it be smarter, to sign a deal where he isn't vastly overpaid if he doesn't become a Top 4 guy? But at the lower contract, likely keeps him in the lineup if he stabilizes as a very good number 5 who can sub in as a number 4 temporarily?

If he can get 6 years from some sucker at $5.5-$6M, he should take it and run to the nearest bank LOL.
Players should generally take as much money as they can, they are no different than you or me.
