Dream Green makes many people hate it, even many Warriors fans hate it, but the Warriors still want to keep him, just the question of how much it costs.
If the fans were allowed to be the general manager of warriors, Green would have been traded 10,000 times, and his disgust reached a climax last season. Although the Warrior won the championship, everyone’s dislike of Green did not abate at all, and he was just in the season when he could renew his contract in advance. A good time to get rid of it was once in a lifetime.
However, the general manager of warriors, Miles, didn’t think so. In the past two days, he was interviewed and publicly expressed his firm idea that he wanted to leave green–
“Now, I have to find a time to make a decision. Given his importance to this team and his contribution, we will do everything possible to keep him…… Of course, the contribution of chasing dreams to us is obvious. I will never sit here and say, ‘he will not stay. Such words should not come out of my mouth at all.”
Therefore, don’t doubt the willingness of the Warriors to stay with green at all. The difference between them and green is actually how much money they use to stay. Green certainly wants a top salary, but in my opinion, it is impossible. He accepts a price that is commensurate with his age, physical condition and data performance, and is more rational and realistic.
Warriors should vigorously train several young people in the new season, especially Wiseman, Moody’s and kuminga, so that they can take over as soon as possible, but the more important goal is to use the existing core lineup-splash, green, wikins-to defend the throne. Compared with young people, Warriors pay more attention to the current window of winning the championship and maximize the value of several veterans, especially curry. I believe this is the reason why warriors want to stay green.
Of course, this requires a great price, because Warriors are facing the renewal of Wikins and Poole at the same time, and the salary penalty next summer is estimated to exceed 0.4 billion. Three years ago, Green signed 4 years 99.6 million, with an average of less than 25 million. For a champion and tactical hub, this price is more appropriate. Now Green is three years old and his waist is not good. You give him 4 years and 0.1384 billion, which is an absolute premium. When he is 37, he will pay him more than 50 million, however, he may not be able to fight, which will become a great burden.
For Green’s character, Miles can’t act too hastily, because Green is impatient and will poke the words under the table to the podcasting, which will affect morale, after all, Curry had already expressed dissatisfaction as early as two months ago and thought the negotiations were progressing slowly. Miles can ask Green to go to each team to ask how much he is worth, and probably no one will give him more than 20 million. This is the biggest advantage that Miles persuaded Green-leaving the Warrior team, the playing system and the friendship of 10 years would not be the original one.
Moreover, Green felt the threat brought by the growing age. Last season, he suffered from waist injuries and played only 46 games. He had a two-month suspension. After the comeback, Green’s three major data all declined, and the playoff performance was average. The first four games of the finals were criticized, and even were placed on the bench at a critical time. Green revealed these two days that he had serious waist injuries all season–
“The L5 and S1 of my lumbar spine are seriously prominent, pressing my sciatic nerve…… I wasn’t on the bench for those two months, and I didn’t follow the team, because I couldn’t sit, so I had to stand or lie down. Before this injury, I had never noticed that my sitting posture was so bad. For 8 weeks in a row, I can’t do anything. I can only practice the core in the power room.”
Green said that his waist injury had completely recovered. If he could become alive again, his value would be self-evident, but if it was just an illusion, the investment of warriors would be extremely risky.
A healthy green is very important to Warriors. He cannot leave this system, and this system cannot leave him. Anyone who leaves has consequences that cannot bear. Yesterday, Green talked about Cole’s replacement of Mark Jackson in 2014. At first, everyone was skeptical and thought Cole was crazy about his subversive reform of the style of play–
“The original style of play is mainly block and split, making a lot of block and split for Curry, and making positioning cover for Clay, looking for dislocation in various ways…… All in all, our play is mainly to block and remove and find dislocation. After Cole came, I remember that in the first class of the training camp, he asked to transfer the ball and cut the air. He was not allowed to stand there and wait for the ball. Let me stand on the arch top and hold the ball. Curry stood on the side wing, and he shouted, ‘Dave, empty Cut’. I said, ‘Wrong, man, I should pass the ball to skid ‘. He said, ‘Get the ball out, and then move it. If you don’t take the ball, the ball will go to find someone and go to the hands of the person who should take the hand ‘.
“We all thought he was crazy, but we still did it. The result was suddenly enlightened, ‘it’s really incredible. The ball moved, covered, ran, the ball moved, the ball moved, the ball moved. There were a lot of dislocation, but no one stood again. Finally, there was such a smooth attack.”
In such a system, it is really not easy for you to find a short center like Green who is smart, willing to defend against various positions and can protect the basket. Another person who can do this kind of work is Ben Simmons, a very famous American University Coach Pitino, said, “Every team needs a dream Green, I think Simmons is probably suitable for the same role. He is also an organizer and a master of defense.” However, Simmons is the number one. If it matches Durant and Owen well, basketable Nets will not let go.
This is the value of green. You don’t have to renew him with a top salary. You just need to come up with a team and a price that he thinks is affordable.
