TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

Bam is getting the same for the same role, and Gorbert gets even more.

I don't think the risk is in paying him the money he's currently getting. In his prime, Green was at least as impactful as either of those guys you mention, perhaps more. He still offers tremendous value, on court and in the locker room. 

But, in recent years he has been unavailable through injury a fair amount, and when he's available, there have been signs of decline here and there. 

What people are worried about is that he's obviously angling for the NEXT big, guaranteed contract. The team who pays that might rue their decision pretty quickly. 

I'd like to add that when volatile guys like Green (who you LOVE to have when things are going well) start to decline but are reluctant to view themselves as declining players, uncomfortable situations can arise pretty easily. I loooove Green, but I can easily see his next stop not being a pleasant one for anyone.
