In other Mav's news, Keith Smith predicts the Green extension this summer will be 4/$70mm


JOSH GREEN, DALLAS MAVERICKS 

Green started to show some stuff during his second season. In his third year, Green became the Mavs best all-around wing. This is probably going to be a value extension that might catch some off guard.

Prediction: Four years, $70 million

Other than the Max guys, Keith only has a few first round players getting an extension at all:

Max:  Edwards, Ball, Halliburton, Maxey, Bane

Non-Max:  P. Williams 5/100, Toppin 4/70, Vassell 5/115, Quickley 4/84, J McDaniels 4/100

That's nine players estimated to get more than Green.  The unfortunate thing is four of them were drafted after #18.  I've always thought the issue with Green is who he isn't rather than who he is.  But, 11 of the guys taken ahead of him probably won't get an offer according to Smith.

I really like Green's potential, but they should trade him if that is the money it will take to keep him. He's not worth that and may never be worth that. 8-10 million per year tops. No thanks on that contract.
