AgentDib":ek62x5sv said:I like your optimism here. However, it's very believable that the guaranteed dollars Earl is asking for is a much higher sum than what the Hawks are comfortable paying. Players hold out when there is a significant difference in opinion, not when they are very close to a deal.Uncle Si":ek62x5sv said:Why is this a "lose/lose?" are you saying there is no contract that can be negotiated that suits both parties? hard to believe it doesnt exist, Seattle wouldn't offer it and Earl wouldnt sign it.
Maybe optimistic, but trying to be more level with my thoughts on it, as many are just driving the negative.
Him begging for unreasonable terms leaves him entering his final year of his contract without an extended deal.
We have no idea if he's been offered any terms. I can't see him holding out playing, at 29.
