paying 15m extra is a stiff ask for so little extra... plus a guy that in real life is inconsitent, imo. he'll be rock-solid in ootp the way he is rated, though.
Harper's a greedy one in real life. $500 million is what the buzz says he's asking for, and I think it's what the OP was referring to. Also, he was asked by a reporter a couple of years ago about being possibly the first player to get a $400 million deal and he took it as an insult for underrating his value.
