Given the back against the wall status , if the Cavs do not make the finals this season what bearing will that have on his decision
differs from person to person.
what do you think is the most likely scenario and how much weight does the outcome of this series have on it?
I think he stays regardless.
I think he opts in giving the org flexibility and if they get it done in this summer and the team is successful again
he will sign the supermax summer of 19. If they fail this summer and the team under performs he either signs a short term deal here or leaves for a max on a better team.

I think we win and he signs short term deal elsewhere. Good luck to him. I’ll want him to win wherever he goes that’s not the Lakers or warriors.

I have a difficult time thinking he would pull a KD type move at this point esp considering we are in the ECF again after a roller coaster season. I think he either opts in and gives us 1 more off season to reboot or opts in and agrees to let us trade him to a team of his choosing so he doesn't leave us high and dry again.
I don't expect anything from him nor do I think he owes us anything... but also don't think he would leave this org in shambles
