Bold statement.

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.
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.
Bold statement.
I feel like Green is a product of the Spurs system. I wouldn't pay him very much.
System players always scare me. How many times did someone overpay a former Jazzman and then that player disappeared?
Green has looked horrible against OKC.
I haven't seen many minutes in this series, but I think Green has looked much worse in the two games in OKC.
This is just an impression.
I wouldn't pay him big bucks, but he can definitely help our team. That's all.
How much you think he gets? Does he come off the bench for us or start?
I like him just want to see how others envision him fitting.
