I'm fairly certain his salalry will automatically jump when the cap increases, assuming I'm interpreting the Rose Rule correctly.

How can you win free agency by extending a guy who never was a free agent?

Doesn't the Rose rule just say that he's eligible for a bigger percentage of the cap?
 
He's not gonna get more money than he signed for, I don't think.

Nola would have claimed that had they just extended Norris Cole or traded for Jose Calderon instead
