Although respect should be granted to both parties in a negotiation is my thought. I don’t see why a player should get respect, but their Employer should suffer for it.I’m in the middle. No I don’t think you need to go Tom Brady discount. He’s a unique situation though and we cant  argue his way didn’t work. I do think you can ask for a healthy guarantee in exchange for shaving a few $Mil a year off. I think Jordan could get a better % guaranteed and just stay in that respectable low 50’s millions per.  Call it $52mil avg. across a 5 year deal 80% guar.Now I know he’ll 60% chance get league high.  But he’d better get 90% guarantee because if that happens the FO will be expecting nothing short of a Championship appearance. Careful what you wish for is what I’m saying. From my experience when your Employer feeds you disproportionate to your market, they’ll expect Premium performance and it better be consistently Premium. We see this with #12 and is he making league high now? Whatever he did didn’t work long term. Anyone notice he’s making 37.5 annual?  With a .666 guarantee?</blockquote>
