This. That was one of the most bizarre contract negotiations I can remember. The entire basketball intelligentsia thought that Wolves had no choice but to offer Wiggins the max. I was like "who are these teams lining up to give Wiggins $150m?" I would've made him go find that max deal someplace else and if another team made the offer, then match it. If I'm the Pelicans I'm doing the same thing with Boogie if I'm the Pelicans, I'll match before I just fork over a max deal willingly.
Then the Wolves owner had that sit down where he made Wiggins look him in the eye and promise he'd do better, show leadership, etc. How's that going?
