    People on this contract usually don't. 3 year vs. 5 year.

    I still thought the article was actually decent and pointed out some stuff. Like how it's feasible he COULD since he'll be 29 and may regress... it was a good neutral article.

    Yeah, I don't think many expect him to sign an extension. Most presume that the most likely outcome is that he'll re-sign after the expiration of his existing contract in 2015.

    If we can't get to the finals by the end of his contract I wouldn't be surprised if he did leave.

    He'd be stupid to sign an extension this summer. This is his one shot at a max contract.

    He gets the 5 if he doesn't sign an extension.

    Sorry, I read that backwards. After reading BGDs post, I figured every other post was insane too.

    But he can only get a 5 year deal here. Anywhere else and he only gets 4.

    The money difference is huge between a 3 year deal(55m) 5 year max (127m). I never thought he would sign an extension this summer since he has 1 max, or near max, contract left and he should get the money while he can. The big question is do we offer him a 5 year contract at max or near max money or a 4 year max. I doubt LA leaves but there is a possibility that if we regress or he just gets tired it here he could take an offer from a big market like LA/NY. I really doubt he leaves the Blazers for another team unless we completely implode but its one of those "you never know" things.

    $127m?!

    LMA is not worth that contract.

    Well when your one of the best players in the NBA at your position how much does that really matter though.

    You're right. Hold that money for a true low post option like Kevin Love. Love has always dominated the low post in the playoffs.
