Could be.  But he has a pretty consistent history of opting out when he can.  I would say financial reasons would be a bigger motivator here.

He can sign a max deal that is 35% of next years salary cap or 105% of his salary this year.  So his pay is going up either way.  

He might also get extra years that he wouldn't normally get.  Say his current deal has 2 years left.  He looks fantastic now, but at his age a lot can change in 2 years.  Maybe nobody gives him a max deal then.  But sign a deal now for 3 or 4 years and those years will be at max value.  That could be an extra hundred million for him.

 

unless he's going to wean himself off PEDs, i think he'll be ok.

btw, lebron walked off the floor without shaking hands with the nuggets last night.  i'm sure there will be a federal inquest into this outrageous behavior like there was when isiah did it.

Windy mentioned it could be to get a no trade clause in his contract and also to put pressure on the org to make changes (Darvin Ham and others).

Good points.  I was probably being too cynical.
