I’d rather have a third wing, who can guard both guards and wings, than a 4th guard who can only guard guards. Or, I’d rather have a starting center (though I don’t think that’s as big a problem as most). What I’m really saying is that instead of paying Green a big salary, I’d like to upgrade him. Siakam is probably a pipe dream now, since I doubt we could beat the Hawks offer, but that would be a nice upgrade to Josh.
I don't get this. I think he starts, I think they're happy for him to start, and I think he's poised to have a really nice season. From where I'm sitting, I feel like he's one of the reasons for optimism. He can guard 3 positions at a high level, he can run in transition, handle the ball, is a good cutter, plays with infectious energy, is on Luka's timeline and most importantly I don't think he's going to get anywhere near the contract you suggest.
