If we assume 12.2M MLE this summer, and are talking about MLE in summer of 2024 and factor in a 7.5% bump (right in the middle of your preferred range), another team with full MLE can offer him up to 4/56.4.
70M still looks a good bit too rich to me.
My concern is that while he took a decent jump in the 1st half of last season, he leveled out or even came back down in the last half. It would be helpful if we had behind-the-scenes knowledge of whether he's showing something more that we don't see in the games, but we don't.
IMO it's not about whether he is tradable at that number, but rather the question of what you can spend -- he just doesn't produce enough to merit 17M/year. At this point, if he was wanting and insisting on 70M (or who knows, maybe even more?), I'd have to leave him for the RFA world.
Just looking at it from Green´s perspective. I think an offer below the MLE would encourage him to test his value. Something I would like to avoid. Wouldn´t be happy about a 4/70 deal but maybe they can find a reasonable number inbetween.
