Perhaps would’ve disgruntled him.
A lot of $? 2 years in a row? Sure.
He wants long term security.
Also based on age godwin was the safer option.
I love shaq dont get me wrong, but hes already 28. 29 in November.
Committing to him beyond 3 or 4 years would be a mistake.
I’m all for bringing him back, but not for more then 16-18 mil aav.
Hes elite at generating pressure. Different guy when vea + suh aren’t eating up 3 even 4 blockers.
Also worth noting JPP stated himself hes been playing at 70% last 2 years. Finally having surgery.
I wouldn’t be shocked it JPP plays at a level similar to shaq regardless where he plays in 2021.
