But, in no universe is Green’s situation comparable to Brunson’s. Brunson is a STAR player, around whom both the NY Knicks and team USA have chosen to build their teams. The ceiling for what he’ll achieve in his career doesn’t yet appear to have dropped into sight.
Losing Green for nothing would blow, but cannot be compared to the Brunson disaster. Likewise, a successful retention of Green’s services will come nowhere close to making up for losing Brunson for nothing.
Just still aggravated we didn't make him choose between money or being the #1 guy on his own team. It would sting if he turned down the money, but I would be way more understanding about the whole thing.
The 5 year $175 million max ain't looking too bad right now
