If he really proves it then next summer your looking at a max deal which is closer to $200 million+WHY ? Would you give a HUGE extension to someone who has not proven he can do on a game by game by game basis AKA being consistent . Now if he can show marked improvement by the AS game then go for by all means give him a deal but right now it's not worth MAYBE hampering this team with another bad contract.
Odds are he shows promise next season along with some question marks and your probably still paying more for potential than production. That's just how it is with most rookie extension or young restricted free agents. They get paid on what teams hope they will do - not what they have done.
If I was running the Blazers I'd do an extension if its not too high... but if I don't see a good discount then yeah I'm waiting until next summer.
