Ignoring any contracts involving injuries etc.

For an active player to be making $25M a year on 8 PPG. Yes he’s good on the defensive end, but as far as offensive production… $100M for a 33 year old who averaged 8 PPG in the last 3 seasons?

The offensive value for any other player with average defense would be $10M or less. I just don’t see an additional $15M worth on the defensive end.

OP might have a point IF you’re willing to only focus on PPG, but what is the point of doing so? None of us are under the delusion that Draymond’s value is in his scoring. This post won’t sway either side of the Draymond debate. This has as much value as comparing Curry’s blocks vs contract or Isaiah Thomas’ dunks vs contract.

Efficient scoring is the most valuable asset for a player. Draymond Green is getting paid a huge bag for everything else but his PPG. And my post is discussing what other players received similar deals for their impact, and than scoring.

Does that make sense?
