I can't imagine him not opting out.

He's going to get somewhere around $8m next year on current contract. If he opts out he can get a max (from us) of about $15m on a 3 year deal with another opt out after his 2nd year. If he stays on his current contract he'd probably sign a deal starting at $22m or so.

It's $30m for the next two years either way but one has a $15m payment next season and the other has $8m.

Which would you choose?
