"I think he?s just trying to play the game the right way through everything that he's been working on during the summer and things that we have asked him to do, both offensively and defensively," Kidd said of Green. "I think that's what he has been focused on. I think that the contract is going to take care of itself at some point. He's going to get a contract at some point, and if it's not now, it's going to be after the season."

I sense the same approach the MBT took with Brunson will apply to Green. The additions of two-way contract players Dennis and Brown, along with Jones and Exum on the roster may indicate a willingness to part with Green either at the trade deadline or, as in the case of Brunson, just let him walk away at the end of the season. I realize the Brunson deal was unique in that his father played a significant role, but this feels similar in that the MBT may be thinking "let's see how he plays during the season and then decide how much he is worth".
