So every time the negotiations come around I try to let my agent handle all the back and forth. I know generally what I think I am worth on the open market but that does not mean it is actually what I would get if I were to go to free agency or even if I was in free agency already my worth to me might not be what the market is dictating at the time. In the end it is still my call on teams and the final number if I want to accept it or not but I trust my agent very much to get the most worth out of me while also giving me the best shot at success in the league for the future. I want that payday but I also want those cups and awards and a lot of times they do not go hand in hand, at least not for long.
