Blowing hot air. KP isn't leaving all that money on the table.
Cousins could have gotten the max extension...traded...
KD could have signed a max extension...left for another team...
Westbrook could have signed a max extension...waited a year to get an extra year of service time and a few more million per year and then signed
George could have signed the extension...if you believe the rumors he wanted out and was traded...
Hayward could have signed the extension...left to go to Boston
KD could have signed the extension again...signed a one year deal
Chris Paul could have signed the extension...didn't get it offered to him
Blake wasn't offered the extension...was going to meet the Suns...then the Clippers offered him the extension and he signed it...
Harden was offered the extension...took it...
So as you see out of all the players who could sign a max extension...only Harden and Steph did without any type of drama around it...Westbrook to but it's pretty office he cares more about triple doubles than winning and i can't think of another team that is going to let him do what he does in OKC...at least one already made that he can just walk into...
So the max extension isn't exactly a slam dunk...
