None of the alternative scenarios make sense. Green is a good player to have. He brings elite athleticism that’s needed when we want to implement our high paced offense. His speed is top end. That speed is also useful against some of the quicker elite guards defensively. He’s a young player stunted developmentally because of covid, so there’s real potential for improvement. Therefore he fits our timeline. All reports have been he’s an above average worker. He fits well with team chemistry. He’s home grown. He’s not a guy who will complain about coming off the bench. He’s been an excellent 3pt shooter. His energy is needed and can change whole games. He’s in a perfect position
Green’s lack of length and ability to be a real dog on defense. The general inconsistency. His sometimes timid shooting. His lack of dribbling ability…….all of these things would be exposed in a high minutes starter role.
Adding a two way 6th man(and keeping DJJ) would make his contract a problem.
We already have the best of both worlds. We have an elite team in the finals, yet we also have a youth movement going on that we’ve dreamed of for years. We have Green, Hardy, Omax and Lively. I include Lawson in that group and Nico has deemed him deserving. Oh yeah we have the best player in the world too who is only 25 and all of our young guys fit his timeline. We are unlikely to have any decent picks for the foreseeable future. If anything it would be great to find a project that won’t demand real minutes for awhile
There’s also the financial component of keeping a steady supply of young cheap talent under the new CBA.
Adding a score first creator creates problems with Hardy who would and should ask out as he only has next year to prove his worth.
Jones Jr being replaced by using 2025 FRP is not good asset management. Why would Nico do that when we’ve seen him try to make our limited assets stretch further at each transaction cycle? It’s the opposite of the types of decisions we’ve seen him make
It would suck to trade Green, but that’s where this is going if we try to get too cute with our moves
