Why should either players agent be in any hurry to get the player signed for anything less that the ultimate amount possible. Both players are unrestricted, having the best year of their career and only one can be franchised. Again why would the agent who has all the leverage give up said leverage and be willing to have the player sign for anything less than the most possible! The purpose of the agent is to get the best possible contract for his client... not make fans happy or worry about the teams salary cap! If the team wanted to try to get a bargain deal then they should have tried signing them immediately after last season... hell, Cooper should have been resigned when traded for.
