I sure want him around and motivated as obviously he is a rare talent but at what point is the cut off?

I can see both sides, and I think Frangie said it the other day, if it doesn't get done, you can't blame either side really. As you said, the team offered him a very fair amount of money, offered it early, and in turn preferred to keep the deal shorter. 

Yan is looking for that long term deal to provide himself more security. The money is probably good at this point, or close enough, for him.

Neither side is wrong at this point. Just hope they come to an agreement.

I still think a deal gets done. They don't offer him that money just to let him walk. The team wants him here, he wants to be here.

In a round about way, I also thinking keeping Yan will go a LONG way towards Jalen wanting to stay here.
