A few points:
1. Green will "only" earn $22.5M this season, saving the W's over $40M in tax penalties
2. The salary cap is expected to increase over the next three seasons
3. Green's value transcends scoring, one of the few players in the league who can make this claim
4. Green has helped the W's make 6 and win 4 NBA Finals - he's earned the money
5. His 4th year option is for the same amount as it was this year; relative to cap, it won't be as onerous then
I think the Warriors know what they are doing.
