It doesn’t make sense that JS would create all this discontent with his best offensive player for a million dollars per year (assuming the contract offer was for two years).
But what we do know, based on media reports, is that the failure to reach an agreement was because of two million dollars. Spread over a two year deal, it amounts to a million per year. And much less than that if the contract was for longer than two years.
I can appreciate JS holding the line if Barkley’s demands were ridiculously outrageous. But it makes absolutely no sense to piss off your best offensive player, and possibly lose him to a holdout over a million dollars per year.
It just doesn’t make sense.
