When I was his age, yeah sure, I'd tell my agent I wanted as much as I could get, because back when I was in my 20s, I was about the money.
Now, 30 years later, I know that I don't need all of that, and if by taking less I could ensure continuous success, and great players around me every year, and still have more money than I'd ever be able to spend, I'd go that route 100% of the time.
But realistically in this scenario, I'm guessing somewhere around 250 million guaranteed? It'd still be the highest amount ever guaranteed, I think.

Yes, 250 guaranteed is more like it. Jared Goff set the record at 110 guaranteed and it was 80% of his total contract. For a 300 total contract, 80% guaranteed would be 240.
I agree with your point on trying to win championships instead of demanding top dollar. He wants to be a GOAT level player and I think he needs 3-4 rings to be in the conversation. If he does a discount on salary, the guaranteed money needs to be off the charts incredible.
