I've observed Dallas doing this before (making PT decisions designed to hold down player value in the marketplace). It is a stupid approach (especially with a player whose confidence is thought to be a critical component to his production).
Dallas needs him to come in at a certain number for their future plans and cap management. That number won't be realistic after a year of Green as a full-time starter. Of course, the other side of the coin is also true. Green needs a year as a full-time starter to maximize his value in the marketplace. That is the power they are wielding over him right now (or at least trying to).
Just do the damn deal Nico. We've seen how this ends with CAA clients.
Agree this is what’s happening. Certainly there is motive, means and opportunity. Not convinced it’s more than talk though. And I’m not gonna hold it against em that they’re talking shit as long as Green starts once the regular season arrives. Josh’s agent is no doubt talking shit too.
Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
