He would still sign for 4 with the last being a player option
Don’t see why he would settle for 3

So really just a 2 year extension? That means we’ll get a break for one offseason then be here again in summer 2026.

Fine by me. 3 years v. 4 doesn’t really matter. He’ll be in his early 30s and there’s a decent chance his game ages a bit poorly when he starts to lose some athleticism

Superstars always take guaranteed money, and then they just ask for a trade later on their more appealing longer contract. So no
(I don’t expect this to happen fwiw)

A 3 + 1 probably serves the interests of both sides the most. No way they do just a 3 year old

Isn’t this when the new tv money sets in, which would make sense if he hopes to get another max deal before he starts to fall off.

I miss the days where NBA fans didn’t have to worry constantly about their players being traded every other year. One of the reasons I respect MJ is for staying on his team long term.
