Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 1726956, member: 767"] Yeah, it's a lot easier to do the math and say the EV is higher in the second one, but it's a lot harder to turn down an actual guaranteed $3 million, which is close to life changing money. That's more of a general comment than a Malachi comment. You see it in baseball a lot; guys sign deals early in their career where they delay FA a few years but are guaranteed upwards of $30 million. That's a little off. The first 2 years of a first round rookie deal are guaranteed, the second two are options. In reality, very few players don't have the options picked up because of how relatively cheap they are. [/QUOTE]
