Trade & FA 2024-25:

I feel ya.  I can live with the versions of this where the decision is Klay for Green.  I think Klay makes us better during the rest of Kyrie's time here.

The one I struggle with is the versions of this where we simply trade Green to keep DJJ.  It is less clear to me that DJJ is better than Green.  I take some solace that Grimes fills the Green 'hole' and DJJ is the backup 3 behind Thompson.  But, it will sting a little.

Agree with this entirely!

I will say that DJJ is better today than Green, for what the Mavs need. If/When the Mavs trade Green - I expect he’ll have a breakout year in a role that’s more suited for his game.
