THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[Mavs2021]

Good game. Completely different player when he's not confined to the usual offense...and that's why if I'm him, I'd leave in the summer of 2024 for another team with more opportunity and a better offensive system. 

I still think he has some good potential but he won't fully develop it here.

Yeah the MBT- Morons Been Thinking should already have a strategy and SOLUTION for Green´s contractual situation RIGHT NOW, cause there will be lottery teams that look at his recent featured performances as a #1 or #2 option in a high paced offense without Luka with different eyes. They´ll argue that he can defend, shoot the three and he just needs the right system and minutes to be at least a good 3&D starter for the next decade with the upside for more. That quickly translates into here are 80/4. Plus opposing teams know Cuban is weak. You can lure the younger players away. Here the door is slightly open, where other franchises have five security locks installed. Decnet chance Cuban will do his usual rara-dance of he´s not worth it and Green will do a Brunson.

Of course there is a chance Green´s personality is what it is and he´ll always defer to players that he thinks are better, but usually lottery teams need a while to find these players. Until then Green can ball, increase his trade value and you can flip a player that cost you nothing in free agency for an asset gain.

Thinking about it in light of the Brunson departure, the handling of the Green situation might very well be the eucalyptus that breaks the camel´s back and leads to Luka´s trade request.
