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?

Get bought out then sign somewhere at league min. and he'd come out waaaay ahead.
