His extension doesn’t kick-in until next season.

He played through the playoffs last year with wrist ligament damage.

The will and heart is there.

Definitely earned the right to rest after his injured run last year helped win them a title. He is only putting a half of a season's miles on his knees this year.

With being #2 in winning the title, he proactively made himself an amazing investment.

They started the season 18-1 without him, they're gonna beat every opponent in the playoffs without him.
He missed 49 (!!!) games this season and they went 39-10.

When the big money hits next season, he's the one being moved, not Chet. He's definitely not their #2 option.

He was last year, hence my great investment comment.
