He definitely wants to get paid and likely sees this as his opprotunity ti really cash in ... that's cool, but for how much?
Mitch has a bad trackr record with overpaying guys only to unload them two or three years later with a draft pick.
It's really important that he sign this dude to a reasonable deal so the Lakers don't have to keep unloading first round draft picks to rectify past mistakes in signing guys for too much money and too many years.
It's one thing to say that the Lakers will not let him go; it's another thing to actually throw out a number.
How much is the kid worth assuming his numbers get slightly better and he has a couple of game-changing games in the playoffs (ala Ariza)?
