I think there is a legitimate case to be made that Green is best as a guy to bring off the bench at the 6-7 minute mark when the game is a little looser and faster at this stage of his career. Maybe he proves more than that given the opportunity. I think he should be starting with the current team. At this point though I am unsure if he is good enough to be starting for a contender. That is not a knock either.

I don’t think Jones jr is the answer. Neither is Hardaway. I want to see more of Exum. My thought is he would be better in a bench role as well…if he is even in the regular rotation. Kidd seems to like the wave of the second unit. It was a huge part of our conference final run that was led by Jalen. He may be trying to do the same thing here. Where Hardaway, Powell and Green play with Luka to finish the quarter and then Green pairs with Kyrie when Luka sits.The issue is I think Josh is the best player for that spot to stsrt. I hope they throw him out there and give him 30 minutes and see how he responds.

Long term though they may be looking for a higher quality wing. In and ideal world green, OMAx, Grant a Williams and x are your four guys. That fourth guy would ideally be 6’8 to 6’10 who could blend in if Grant Williams plays some small ball 5. That is my wish filling out the wings moving forward.
