Who will be the #1 Option?

Which is why is CRITICAL that he play as well as he can to get the best deal possible....

Atlanta *has* money to give him. The only question is "will he want it?"

I'm not sure how long term Atlanta will go with a contract if he decides to resign. If he plays well and does the things Coach Woodson wants him to do, then I think you will see him get a contract similar to the one Rasheed Wallace got in Detroit this year. Around 4 years, $50 million or so.
