You don’t come out and announce that you aren’t going to do something, just do it. If the player takes a huge discount on AAV then a max contract can make sense.

Probably not, as even the ones who last a long time have signed “stupid” contracts, and not every GM that leaves gets fired. But I get the desire to over-simplify it.
It doesn’t matter if a GM announces it or not, if someone is offering 4, every GM knows it, and can offer more.
It’s dog eat dog. It’s a competition. GMs aren’t worried about 8 years down the line, a lot changes in that time. Hell, do a good enough job then you might catapult yourself into a better job and not have to worry about the mess you started building 7-8 years prior.
Nor are they worried about making sure every other team is competitive, too. They want to win and be better than the next guy.
