Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3921543, member: 1969"] From what I read, since he declined his option he can no longer sign any long term max extension (has something to do with being the fact that it was only a 1 year contract initially). If he had accepted the option he could have signed a 4 year extension. The longest he can sign for right now with max salary is another 1+1. Then next summer he can do a 5 year super max extension. Right now I would think the discussions are the following: 1) Kawhi wants a "wink, wink" agreement that Ballmer will give him a 5 year extension next summer 2) Whether he sits out the entire season or not. There is not much to negotiate right now, except the "wink, wink" stuff and whether Kawhi can sit out this entire season But theoretically since nothing can be put on paper this offseason both sides can snake the other next summer. Which is why I assume Kawhi may not even bother playing this year. [/QUOTE]
