Do you agree with that, if this player is say...Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James...Apex players, well past 32. Even players, like Steve Nash, Dr. J, Moses Malone, Kevin Garnett,
A player signs contract at 32. Max for over 32 is package with team option. Team option when a player reach age of 35. Eg, when Paul reaches age 35 in 2020, is worth 2year 20 million, morey can opt out. This help team save 86 million. If Paul is worth 2 year 120 million in 2020, morey can opt in.
That's just CP3, who has had an injury history and shown a decline in his game. MJ made $30+MM in his last two seasons in Chicago. MJ @ $35MM, $37MM, and $40MM is a good deal, age 32-34. Same for LeBron, TD, or Kobe.
