- Zary would take a deal that reflects performance to date, but would probably prefer 1 year, so he can cash in after a better year
It's not a case of one side wanting long or short and the other not. It's about the dollars and terms being very different for both sides under either scenario.
They will settle somewhere in the middle with a 2 year deal I bet.

I confirmed this at Post #934.
How's everyone's summer going? Hope not too many were waiting around for a Byram deal instead of enjoying their time in the sun!
