Regardless of the actual number he gets in free agency it will be for more than $8m and if the Mavs want him back it will be for $15m because he isn't signing unless he gets the same money as Parsons.
Either way the money works better for him to opt out of this deal and get a bigger contract this season and then opt out again after his second year on his new contract.
