Max Draymond Green?

I'd rather bring back the Junkyard Dog for a lot less years and a lot less money. Him and Crowder would wreak havoc on opposing teams on defense.

Also, given Green's personality I doubt he would choose to go to Utah. My bet would be the Clippers or Lakers if he is forced out of Golden State, and I think they would both offer him.

I agree; probably some West Coast team to try to stick it to GS if they let him go. I feel for the team who signs him to a long max deal. He is not a max quality player in many other scenarios. GS has been perfect for him.

He's one of the best 3 defenders in the NBA. He is worth the max. I just don't know if he is worth the max for Utah.

The Lakers would be contenders if they got Draymond. Draymond alone probably makes them a top 10 defense.

But he always plays smart on the court. He's an *******, but he is an amazing defender and smart offensive player.

Gobert+Draymond would be a terror on defense and Draymond could be the 2nd string center and the defense would still dominate.

I agree... I don't think he will be on the court though... He's smart and would be a second de facto point guard. He also uses his brain and wingspan more than his athleticism on defense. I worry he might not be able to play enough to justify that salary.

If he was a better shooter and you can guarantee me he only misses 10 games a year over the contract I'd be in. I think the decline hurts him when he is on the court a bit and that he won't be available.

It's not just the years... its the miles... lots of long playoff runs... always doing the dirty work. Plays with a lot of energy. I think the likelihood that he lives up to that type of deal is low.

Was the last 4 years of Iggy worth the max? They are very similar imo. Iggy takes great care of himself physically and has missed good chunks of games while playing reduced minutes (low workload).

My vote was no... I can see why someone would say yes though. It just isn't a no-brainer.
 
I also think there may be diminishing returns on doubling down on defense for us.

Is there? The defense just isnt that great when Gobert is off the floor. Draymond would let us have a top 3 defense at all times.

There is at some point imo. There are diminishing returns on good offensive players. I really don't know.

We could definitely get better and Green would make us a lot better. To me it's not is he worth the max... it's is he worth the max in 2,3,4 years?

With a good shooting point guard and if Ingles can still play Draymond would be great for the offense too. I don't think he is great because of who he plays with... I think his limitations may prevent him from being as great in other situations because he's in the ideal situation for his game.

this is a good question... far from a no-brainer either way.
 
There are a few guys this summer I'd rather give a max to but if we strike out then he might be worth pursuing in summer of 2020.

Oh ****, for some reason I thought he had a player option this year. Yeah, the Jazz arent waiting for that.
