They probably have done that to some extent, but I still think you're projecting your fan view on what's best for the team over what is a very personal choice for these guys.I completely understand that and not at all knocking the kid if he's going to get paid or even if teammates are encouraging it. At the same time if players know they're staying and losing a teammate who'd be a huge part of potential success next season, making an effort to have them stick around couldn't hurt. Worst case "sucks we're losing you man but go get paid!"
