The EPM site doesn’t have a search function that I’m aware of, so three criteria would be even more manual.
In my book, we may have the Bullock replacement on the roster already. Assuming we have 3 ball handlers still and THJ coming off the bench, Green would be a starter in name only and might still be a 12-15 minute guy given the mouths that need to be fed. IF there was a Reggie for Holmes deal, THJ joining a guard and Powell and one of Maxi/Bertans makes sense.
Holmes/Powell
DFS/Klertans
Green/THJ
Brunson/SD
Luka/SD
Maybe the outgoing is Maxi instead Reggie and Bertans is the backup PF? Maybe it is just Green as the outgoing and you insert Reggie where Green is slotted in the list above. It feels like we have an extra PF and an extra wing that in some combination could be used for an upgrade. I really have no idea who we would use.
My hope is that Green can eventually replace Bullock, but based on my criteria he has a long way to go offensively (19%).
I struggle with the Powell/Bertans bench frontcourt, especially if you are going to pair them up with THJ. I realize defense is not as important in the second unit, but that group is going to struggle a lot. I lean towards having Maxi and Green in the second unit to hold down the defense, and let Powell and the two ball handlers handle the majority of the offensive load. I realize this doesn't leave much room for Bertans, but I think he can be worked in when needed. Dorian can play some 3 if necessary.
