Is Green a player that should be getting 20-30 minutes per game? If the answer is yes he is at least an MLE level player.
I get what you are saying on modern salaries. From what I've read on here from F Gump and Dan and others, the new CBA sounds like salaries really have to be handled correctly going forward. I think Green looked great at times last year and I think he completely disappeared a lot also. I am more encouraged than discouraged with his progress, but I'm not convinced yet that he's for sure turned the corner and will be worth that money. Also I fully expect Cuban to pay Kyrie 200 million or whatever his crazy max is. We can't afford to overpay role players with Luka and Kyrie on the team. F Gump thinks it's an overpay and he's the cap guru around here along with Dan so I don't feel like this is a smart move. I don't have a problem with him getting the full mid level or even the 4/56 F Gump proposed, but I think that's the high end of his value currently. The Mavs have a history of overpaying their own players. They have to be smarter going forward.
