We would have to grossly overpay to get Green.

His shooting can get a little better, sure.

And what's grossly to you? I think 9.5M per could get it done and to me that's not grossly overpaying in this NBA economy with where it's headed. Especially not for a guy who leads, can rebound, pass, shoot, defend and hustle. Dude pretty much does it all.

Why do you think that 9.5 will get it done, and why the hell would Golden State not match that offer? I think they'd rather offload Iggy or Lee before letting Green leave for that price.

Anything the Jazz can afford to offer, the Warriors can probably match. Otherwise Utah is just overpaying to get him. At that point, I'd rather have control over the financial situation and be able to match whatever Kanter gets offered. The Jazz would run the risk of losing Kanter and failing to get Green as well. Rather not be the Rockets, thanks.
 
Green is the flavor of the month and highly overrated. Put him on a team without the firepower that Gstate and he won't look good at all.

Why 9.5? Because that's about what I see him getting, though it really may be more like 10-11M I'd guess. Why would they not match? Because as people have said, their LT number could then be really exorbitant next year. It'll all depend on their owner I suppose. And yes, there's a catch-22 with he and Kanter. But to simply re-sign Kanter so we don't lose him sounds like a short-sighted, bad GM move if ever there was one.

In order to sign him I believe we would have to renounce the rights to Kanter to clear his cap hold. We could then sign green to a contract, then G-State matches, Aaaaand, we are screwed. THAT would be a short-sighted, bad GM move if ever there was one.

I was thinking the same thing.

Honestly for me the Burks contract is looking worse and worse.

Never liked that contract. Extensions have not been something that Lindsey has been good at. Seems to be a pretty decent drafter, but I'm not a big fan of his other moves.

Agreed. It feels like a contract that the Jazz might have to find a buyer for and it might cost a first round pick to get rid of it.

Disagree. He a hustle player and he's skilled enough defensively that he could help this team progress.
 
I see the same guys that p*ssed all over them selves for Booker earlier this year doing the same for Draymond Green now .Green is flavor of the month ,mostly benefiting from playing with two super shooters in Thompson and Curry ,a luxury he wouldn't have in Utah.
For sh*ts sakes ,I even see one guy dumping all over Kanter's ability to score baskets ,where scoring baskets in the Western Conference is needed 1st,You can't score your going no where in the West.

The Grizz and Rockets are 13th and 18th in scoring and they seem to be doing just fine in the West.

That's a fair point. So the question really is, do we want to re-sign Kanter? If not (and I lean that way because his limited athleticism and iq severely hurts him on defense), then it's really not an issue and we should be looking to trade him before the deadline.
 
Utah is in the bottom 9 in team scoring with the other 8 teams being Eastern Conference teams and you want a scrappy player more than a guy that can get points.Every team in the Western Conference scores more points than the Jazz ....Jazz need more points and keep the guys who can get them
 
Honestly haven't watched much Green at all. Maybe I should. Does he guard PF's or does Barnes?

Defense. And a brain. Not you, but kanter.

Undersized PF's can be Albert Einstein and it will always be a dead end road.
It's the reason they let Millsap walk in the first place. I'm not against trading
Kanter but lets get a real solution at PF, not a patchwork solution.

He usually guards the stronger dude.

I am blown away by how Draymond Green has played in the NBA after watching him play at MSU for all those years. Nothing about his offensive game and basketball IQ surprises me because that's who he was in college, but the fact that he's not an absolute liability on defense really astounds me. I didn't think he'd be able to guard anyone, and that would be his downfall. He just didn't seem as athletic then as he is now.
