Yes to your last paragraph in blue. I see several benefits. If Green comes in for say the last six minutes of the first and third quarters, there is a consistent role with a consistent group. Subbing out THJ first allows him to return with the four bench players and while not a creator, he can certainly help that group. Doing it that way means more KP/Luka time together. We won’t go anywhere if they can’t impose their will the final six minutes of the game. But, they will never be able to do that if all they play together is the first few minutes of each half.
The issue with such a plan is it takes THJ away from his Luka security blanket. An $18mm player should be able to stand on his own without said security blanket. I think my preference would actually be to make LM/Brunson our sixth and seventh men and surround them with WC-P, Green and Sterling. I think that group has enough O and keeps the starters together more while still giving Green a consistent role.
