Another reason it wouldn't be in the teams' best interest to sign him to a contract over more than 9-10 mil a year

Give Jimmy a break...

He can cash in this year. I don't blame him. Make the team Franchise you. I'd do the same thing...

Except that his greed may cost him much much more. What happens if he blows out his knee under the tag?

Oops, oh well, I doubt that 6 year 50 million contract will still on the table Jimmy boy.

There are protections in the CBA for a player that is tagged but gets hurt and cant play for x amount of games. It does have to go through arbitration but there are protections.
