The thing is he said he will not signed a extension, but that shouldn't worry the Lakers. It is common sense why he doesn't want to sign a extension. He will get more money resigning if he goes to the Lakers. At best an extension will only give him 50-60 million for 3 years extension. While if he resign with the Lakers he will get a Bird Right contract with over 100 million for 5 years. If he told the Lakers he may resign with them, the deal will be done.
