ESPN insider Brian Windhorst speculated that Green’s contract could be designed for a future trade. Speaking on The Hoop Collective podcast, Windhorst said, “This is a contract that a lot of people in the league think was signed for the option to be traded and getting the 10% trade kicker in there.”
