The annual salary is of course a major issue, but the duration and structure are probably more important IMO. No way do I tie the franchise to DJ for 3-4 year at 40- 50 mil unless the structure allows for easy escapes. He’s never played a full season and has had a total of a season and a half of above average play. The team doesn’t have many options but to pay him this season. I’d make him play on the tag before I’d give him 50 mil with big guarantees.
