It seems to me that ever since Matthews did his 5 year deal it is par for the course that big stars want shorter deals so they can get even bigger deals later. Interesting flip from 10 years ago when players wanted the long term security. It honestly makes it even harder for a team to put together a winning roster, and it might become worth it to trade players away at younger ages now as they might not be worth the money they want when they are older (especially if they get some injuries along the way).
