I think he might, mostly because of the nebulous nature of whatever it is that WCS is going though. For all we know, it could be the team shutting him down because they're trading him.
But it doesn't take a fortune teller to predict that SBrown and/or Ntilikina will both be given every opportunity to get their minutes back from Green when they're healthy.
This is what I said about Kidd previously. For all of the statements about RC not being a player’s coach, neither is Kidd. He comes across as an equally strong willed person.
At this point, what are the coaches waiting on to see? Moses and Green both when getting minutes have done nothing wrong for others in front of them to get automatic minutes. Those guys in front are nothing special. Green and Moses bring energy constantly. I see teams that are better than us like the Lakers and the Nets having young unheralded guys getting minutes and making plays. Yet the story with the Mavs seemingly over the last decade is that retread veterans deserve automatic minutes even though many a times they have played middling ball or made their share of low BBIQ mistakes.
Edit. Thybulle shot 30% from 3 last year and 28% so far this year. Yet he is played and lauded for his defensive efforts. All these guys have flaws. There is a certain value in defensive energy also especially on a team where most want to play offense.
