If Bennett goes under the knife and misses the rest of the season or plays like he has the first half of this season they wont extend him and will make him play out his final year.
If he has a monster second half then they will either trade him for some value ( the smart move ) or let him play the last year on his contract.
I do not think the smart move would be to extend a player that is declining and who will turn 31 in a couple weeks. They have him locked up through 2017 and the smart move would be to not offer him a contract and either trade him or let him become a FA after the 2017 season. Sure it might really piss Bennett off but he would be playing for his LAST contract so he might have a big season in 2017. Money is his only driving force.
We'll see. But word from both sides is that they're working on it right now.
