Going back to Green and the rotation, let's look at the guys ahead of him:
-THJ didn't turn down a bigger offer from the Pels to play a lesser role. He's obviously back to do the same thing as last year.
-DFS, we know what his role is gonna be.
-Bullock obviously didn't sign here for fun- he's here to take over JRich's role, he's gonna get his 24mpg, and he's been much more reliable at the one skill you absolutely need to play off of Luka.
-If Dragic comes that's obviously even less wing/guard minutes for Green.
-The only question mark really is Brunson, as his future with the team is unclear. But that just makes holding onto Terry as insurance more critical, and Dragic would presumably eat up most of his minutes.
-Sterling Brown is probably an end of bench guy, but then so is Green right now. Again, we can presume the Mavs signed Brown with at least the intent of using him at some point.
It sounds like Toronto is asking for BOTH Green and Terry right now, I'm guessing the Mavs are saying why should we give you either, and the final compromise will be one of them. I already explained why I think it will be Green.
