If you don't have minutes for Green, just trade him. His salary is too big for him to sit. That means he's also an avenue to payroll reduction, perhaps. But not sure the Mavs would really want to move him.
We were speaking about trading THJ only and I outlined where the minutes would be coming from. Luka and Kai play less minutes in regular season. There are injuries and so on. THJ was also playing significant minutes in the regular season and Mavs still had regular minutes for Green, Exum and regular development minutes for Hardy. The time where minutes could be scarce and roles reduced is playoffs only. But all guys will get their fair chance of opportunities to fight for their roles.
