Hi .

He will likely get a max contract since some team will be willing to take a chance on him right now. If he took the player option and waited until next year to become a free agent, teams will likely have seen tape from his rehab and recovery process. If he looked like a shell of himself at that time, it's likely he would get the Cousins treatment and not get a max and/or long-term deal.
I would have taken the option and get paid 30 million to recover from injury and then still be a Free Agent next season? He’s out entire season next year likely. So really he did GS a major favor removing his cap burden

Durant will sign with the Knicks at a reasonable price of 4 years for the veteran's minimum, stating "he is fulfilling God's work to help such a cursed franchise." Kyrie, will have a change of heart and say, "wait a minute, I too should take a veteran's minimum and play at The Garden" and just when Kawhi joins the group, James Dolan is gonna slap me in the face and wake me up from this beloved pipe dream.
Come to Denver Kevin Durant we will be unstoppable and you have a chance to submit your legacy to a team that has not been a winning team we got a young talented team need a vet star to go all the way.

Went from making 31 million to making 0. How stupid can you be? You have a torn Achilles my guy. You won't be playing AT ALL next season. No team is going to pay you to sit on the bench and if they pay you it won't be 31 mil. You should've accepted your option then sat on the bench and get paid then become a free agent next off-season.
