In the event that KD offers the Warriors an ultimatum of choosing him or Draymond Green, and the Warriors choose KD, would you max out Draymond Green for the Utah Jazz?
Max Draymond Green?

Nope, I think he'd be a cancer in the locker room.

For context here... he isn't a free agent until two summers from now. He will be 30 and his max can start at about $34-35M per season. So about 4/$144 for him.
My vote would be no, but I expect him to decline quite a bit. I think I'd pay it for this year's version of Green if you told me we had a sharp shooter at PG or SG (Grayson Allen by then?) Backside of that deal could be quite bad if his health fades.

Would love Draymond on this team.

He's also a guy that might become more of a locker room issue as he declines (like Melo). these guys can't turn it off.
No. I don’t think he is what he is without his surrounding cast, and that will be apparent if he leaves and as he declines physically. However, the thought is certainly interesting. If we had him on the duration of his current contract, then that may change the calculus. I don’t know if Beverley can play any D post injury, but this would be fun:
Beverley
Mitchell
Ingles
Draymond
Gobert

If he wasn't playing for the Golden State Warriors with Curry and Klay and Iggy, and now Durant, etc., we would have never known who he was. Except for his antics which would have gotten him attention.
He is a good all around player, but I don't want his headache here especially for a max contract.

Hard pass.
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 just want to see it. I'd be worried to max him because of his declining health and personality, but the defense would be insane.
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.
