MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[SleepingHero]

Sorry, I didn't explain the age thing.  At 22yo, it's implied that J.Green will continue to progress and get better.

Great analysis in kicking Hart's deal into todays numbers.  Ya, I'd say that's fair, with 4/80 being the ceiling.

What are your thoughts if J.Green wants >=$20m/per?

If Green wants 20+mil a year then I'd politely tell him that I love his gumption and to go find said deal on the market. Should he find such a deal, it'd probably be littered with plenty of team friendly qualities to get to that number, I'd promptly match. 

I don't see a team out there right now that would be willing to pay 20+mil a year for a less than 10ppg guy who is limited offensively and is good (not great) defensively. That'd be like a team throwing a 4/90 deal at a guy like Danny Green which doesn't really happen (and we lambast when it does). 

Further, should Green go into next season and shows growth and is an integral starter on the team, the Mavs need to make it well known they would match any ludicrous offer. A team that is steadfast with their RFA guys scares off any potential would be suitors. We saw that with Reaves this recent summer.

Speaking of Reaves, that would be a good comp for Green at his best. When Green gets an opportunity he puts up similar numbers to what Reaves put up this last season that earned him a 4yr/54 mil deal. Next summer there are ideally more suitors for a guy like Green, but if Reaves got 4/54, I don't see how Green gets substantially more than that unless he breaks out as a 20ppg guy.
