I hope they extend him at a roughly MLE base, but, a part of me is cautious about the possibility that Green has a down year. His confidence issues has me a bit on edge (fellow countrymen Ben Simmons possibilities swirling a bit in my head).
The Powell extension was a long time ago. The lack of a Brunson extension was much more recent. If you are taking both together, the lesson should be better to sometimes get stuck with overpay (Powell) than miss huge value and lose player (Brunson). I think we would agree that if our options were to extend neither or extend both, we would choose the later.
As for price, I'm in line with you and the slightly over MLE (14 mil) guys. Giving him a little over MLE seems like a win for both sides as he may not get over MLE in a restricted market.
