THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[dynamicalVoid]

Now I see why Kamm and Dan left. I post one stat I thought was interesting and now I have to debate the utility of looking at data when making decisions. No one is saying there is some holy grail number that tells you everything you need to know.

Its about eye test and if the player can ball or be a good TEAM player in a system.

Mavs need to clean house of:

Powell - just not talented enough on offense or defense

THJ - not a good team player and makes bad decisions with ball in his hands(wont pass or takes bad shots way too frequently for NBA standards)

Hardy - Only if he continues with the "gotta get mine" ways.  He is on a short leash with me.  I love his ability on offense to create, I love his fearless attacking and ability to score at rim and shoot...I do not like his decision making in that he seems to be focused on scoring as opposed to making best bball play too often.  If he makes a lot of bad decisions in Playoffs and doesnt correct those mistakes by TDL next year...I might look to move him.  Apparently this team loves selfish players, so I assume he stays.  I dont want to let him go...but I cant stand one on one ball in the modern era.  He needs reps...and Ill put up with some selfish ways so that he learns the NBA speed...to a point.  So far...I dont know if its him trying to learn quickly or if he is selfish.

Maxi - low skill player.  Size, mobility, defense and shooting make him a keeper in todays NBA.   Not ideal skill wise at all.  If the right deal came up I would move him based on bball skill alone.  His age and niche ability make in a Mav for foreseeable future, though, I assume.  Point is...you cant acquire guys with low skill.   Front Office has to be better than this.  I like Maxi, I think he is useful...just very lacking on overall skills which is concerning.

Mavs need to acquire ballers with on-court skill...not stat sheet skill.
