Interesting how loyal a guaranteed eight-figure payday makes someone (when they can't get it anywhere else).
I think Z will be a Cavalier for his whole career, but was thinking (read: hoping) that he might opt out and then the Cavs could sign him to a smaller deal, maybe a multi-year deal but for less money, like $5m or so.
no surprise. He's not going to get a deal worth that anywhere else, he'd be a fool to leave that much on the table.
