Marv has already said he's not paying him that. So he will not be stewing for 10 mil.
I agree with you that I don't see anyone coming along and offereing him a long term deal. And even so, if a team has to trade for him and not sign him to a long term deal, They have to pay him the big bucks unless he agrees to a significant pay cut. Which we know, he ain't doin here and I don't think any team, even a team that thought he would push them over the top would pay him that kind of money.
But back to my original question again, ( sorry to have hi jacked the thread ) What team thinks that EM puts thm over the top? If there is one than maybe they trade a sixth for him and renegotiate with him, pay him 6 this year 5 the year after that and give him a 5 signing bonus.
I don't see anyone doing anything near that.
The play with EM is wait till he's cut which you know he will be, and offer him 3.5 a year for three years with a 3.5 signing bonus. And he would be pretty damn lucky to get that at this point.
Am I really missing something here?
