I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with Josh Green on defense. He's both taller & longer than Jrue but Jrue still looked like a PF tank in the finals matchup with his strength and rebounding. Maybe just get Green to bulk up some more? He has so much speed he can afford to get bigger and play stronger. Jrue has strength and BBIQ/experience over him on defense, plus whatever Boston's defensive system gave him.
On offense he's still one of the team's best shooters. Big problem with inside finishing and handles are just ok but Jrue wasn't doing much on offense in terms of playmaking in the finals either. Pretty much a 3&D guard. He was just abusing the Mavs defensive scheme getting open for those layups with the Mavs bigs on hanging out on the perimeter. Doesn't seem like they should be that far off from each other.
I guess he is expendable with Grimes but would be useful to know why he was having such a tough time here in a 3&D role. Is he even worth trading for an aging out Klay plus higher salary?
