I have more confidence that Green can be a useful rotation player than whoever we might get at 35. I also think Green will likely be farther along on the development curve than that pick meaning if we are having a hard time finding Green minutes it will be even harder for a rookie. Also, if we are to give 35 the Terry deal (or any deal more than 2 years so we can have bird rights and make them restricted) we would have to eat significantly into the tax MLE. That will make it less likely we get a vet wing that would eat all of the minutes. I don't mind sending Green out if it nets us a good player, but this kind of trade only makes sense if the Mavs have given up on Green.
Cant it be a 4 year minimum deal? I thought that was the idea here. Meaning it doesn't impact the tax MLE.
I don't know if its about giving up on Green but rather the realization that he's not ready to meaningfully contribute to a playoff team and paying him 4.7 million in 2024 is significant given the tax. Were likely not to pick up that team option imo, so i believe it makes sense to flip him for a cheaper asset now.
Its also possible Green (and more likely his agent) would like to see him flipped to a team where he may get more PT and a chance at getting a 2nd deal.
