That's fair on the first part, I just feel like there's still a lot of value in any upside player on rookie deals because of restricted free agency and any sort of blockbuster trade that involves young prospects for a veteran player usually doesn't have any cap space issues for the team taking on those young guys.
The second point is something that no one on this board knows. I would bet that Green is still seen has very valuable across the league from a prospect standpoint. RJ Hampton wasn't contributing either but someone saw value there and wanted to take a swing on him.
