These are two of the biggest stars in the game and they will be paid. Not like they lose bargaining power by this going public.

I think that I was quite clear in saying that if I was in their position I wouldn't be impressed by the team I'm negotiating with putting out a bunch of press rumours that I'm taking less than market. How does that team treat you when your play takes a turn or there is a conflict internally - put out press rumours again? It's just a bad way to conduct business, in my opinion.
Now, they may not care one bit - which is entirely their right. I'm not hoping a thing. They will do whatever they decide is in their interests.
