Nah. Why would he gift away 12 million dollars? He's signing the mega max with or w/out an agent. Fire the agent, sign the deal, hire an agent again...
Just as much as that could happen so could this narrative.
Next offseason he regretfully tells New Orleans Pelicans Management he will not sign his super max contract. He plans to play out his current contract to become a free agent at that time he will decide what is best for his future. When he does not sign his super max contract how would the NOP management react. Do they offer to trade him so he can leave the NOP and return they can try to get as many assets as possible instead of losing him for nothing in free agency if he chose another organization.
If the Pelicans have a down year I would be worried with what he decides for his future. They played great basketball last year at times but I believe a lot of analysts are expecting a drop off. For the record I believe with all his injuries throughout his career he will sign that supermax contract when offered. Regardless of my opinion there is still a chance he decides to leave.
