He's going to rightly get a max if he keeps putting a 20/13/12 with 4 steals. That's a LeBron statline on a good game.

The X factor in the Western playoffs so far. I've watched all the dubs games and I can't state enough how good he's been in the playoffs.

He's a max player without those numbers. His value to any team, especially to a team searching for identity and leadership, is incalculable.

Hell no. He will not live up to his next contract. It will be like the Chicago Ben Wallace contract.

He's never been more than the third best player on the floor really ever. How will he look with lesser talent surrounding him?

Ben was two years older than Green will be. More importantly, Ben and Green are completely different players. Ben's game was athleticism and strength. Green's is an 'old man' game even as young man. And his intangibles are off the charts. He will be a highly effective player in this league for a long time.

How will he look with lesser talent than the greatest collection of talent ever around him?

Like the first or second best player on the team, I suppose. If you think GS would have even one championship without him, you're mistaken.

With both Blake and Drummond still on the team? Why?

Let Drummond go and sign him.

Stupid statement. What does "let Drummond go" even mean?

It means trade him for a pair of skates this year or let him walk next year.

Unfortunately nobody but Tom Gores wants him at 28 per year.

Why would Draymond come here? He'll get paid very well regardless of where he goes.

Being home is nice and all, but not as much when your team sucks.

So if Dre is so terrible, terrible enough for people to want him traded for skates and that no GM wants him, WHAT EXACTLY TF DOES "LET DRUMMOND GO AND SIGN HIM" MEAN? Oh right, just a statement straight from senselessness.

Draymond has been unbelievable these playoffs, he's pretty much having a LeBron like impact on games. Thought we might get a washed Draymond playing for Detroit one day, but I think his game will actually age better than expected. Only way to get him soon probably involves moving Drummond. I'd love to see a Draymond/Blake frontcourt.

He's saying cut Dre and use his money to sign Green. You can argue it won't/can't happen, but was it that hard to understand?

Well considering it's literally IMPOSSIBLE, yes it's hard to understand. Granted, I actually operate in reality so maybe I'm missing the bizzaro world aspect where this scenario actually makes sense to you guys.

But trading him for skates is possible, and would free up money for Green.
