   He’s not playing like a max player right now. And I do believe he would take less for us. My feeling is he’d sign with us for somewhere between $30-40 million per year but I guess that’s pretty obvious. Walter and company have deep pockets and will pay him what works for both sides.

   I don't know what his real value is yet, another playoffs run at 16pts per game, doesn't say near max to me. Austin has not proven to be a Kyrie or Jamal Murray, caliber player yet to me. We most likely need, another guy in the 30's, or two in the 20's...Still TBD.
