yeah, I wouldn't pay him much either. But, if I have to have a "fifth guy" out there in the starting lineup who is my backcourt defensive enforcer, I'll take him 10 out of 10 times over Carroll (with all due respect to the latter; I'd be happy if he worked hard enough to stay, too).

Didn't we try to trade for him?
No, they tried trading him to us.

link?? I remember hearing rumors about CJ miles involved, but that sounded too good to be true.

Oh I would absolutely take him over Carroll, I just think that his numbers are inflated due to him playing with the smartest team in the league.
In all honesty, I would compare him to a less-athletic Matt Barnes with less attitude. I like him, but I don't really like him.
I would rather just keep Carroll since he can probably be had for 2-3 million dollars cheaper and he can play SF. I also see him a better defender. Nothing Green does impresses me other than his 3pt shooting, which is overblown due to the Spurs amazing ability to get him open shots.

Not disagreeing, but this is a pretty solid rep for Carroll. Green is an above-average man-to-man defender.

Green obviously is an effective player but my opinion is whatever the price it would take to get him would ultimately be too much. I just don't like giving role-players on great teams much $ because most of the times these guys are effective because their teammates/coaches make them better than they are...kind of like role players who played with Jordan/Pippen and Stockton/Malone...teams would sign those guys to some nice-sized contracts and they often flopped in a new system.
If SA likes Green enough they'll match...if they don't think he's worth it they'll let him walk - but either way I would assume Pop and Buford know what they're doing and will ultimately be on the right side of any deal/no deal. Don't get me wrong I like Green - I just think he's the classic system role-player who will be overvalued by lesser teams.
