Specifically, if the right deal came along for THJ, I think how they see Green plays a role in going there. Same would apply to trade scenarios involving Bullock. Six guys all deserving rotation minutes at the 1, 2 and 3 (not to mention DFS when two bigs are playing with him) isn’t the best way to construct a playoff rotation. Someone can be turned into something better at another position and if it isn’t Green as the outgoing, I think he plays a role in the team being able to pull the trigger on someone else.
While I follow your rationale, I don't agree at all. Yes, there's an extra G piece that should be used if possible to chase someone, but to me the surplus is THJ (because of lack of fit), not THJ/Brunson/whoever draws offers. Plus, I don't think the Mavs would entertain offers for JB - he's a good player and a good fit (which isn't always the case)
