Different skill set but overall not that much different. Green can defend 3s and 4s, handle ball, and knock down open 3s. Thethe believes that worth a max deal.

Barnes is really meh. If they have to make a choice between the two (Barnes and Green) it's an easy choice.

Robert Horry and Bruce Bowen played in the wrong era didn't they?

If you like Green then there is literally zero reason for you to say "meh" about Barnes.

Barnes can't shoot at least with any consistency. He's a slasher who really can't do much else that well.
Bruce Bowen = max deal!

Bares is a far better shooter than green and a far better offensive player. Similar rebounding stats and far less turnovers
Green can guard all power r forwards and even some centers. He is also a much better passer. The ability to stretch the floor is paramount to how Golden State wants to play. Green is much more valuable than Barnes and they will do what is necessary to keep him. Do you guys not understand how great of a defensive player he is?

Yes. Greene is a fantastic defender. Arguably one of the ten best in the NBA.
But Barnes is a tremendous defender too and can do much more on offense for a fraction of the cost. I don't think it's crazy they move on from Green if he wants the max.

Correct.
But it's also the best way to help an offense.
Don't take it so personal. I like Green. My point is that in a salary capped league I think he's expensable with Barnes there. I don't think you realize how good Barnes is.
Barnes is a far better shooter and is better at stretching the defense which you talk about all the time.
If someone is gonna give Green anywhere near a max deal you let him go and stick with Barnes. Finding a poor mans Green isn't terribly difficult.
No because since Barnes can't effectively guard power forwards them he is stretch out wing players. The point is to get the big guys out of the paint. Thank you for demonstratino you don't know what you're talking about.
Yup...all world defenders at the 4 that can shoot and pass are a piece of cake to find even in a redux version.
You realize Barnes plays a lot of PF, right? And has held opposing PFs to a 12.3 PER?
Without Green the Warriors guards will have no where near the space they do now. They run the opposing bigs in pnr all day and green neeneeds to be respected.
They aren't even in the same world defensively. Barnes don't stand a chance against a good pf
You act like Green is a great shooter.
