That wasn't exactly what I mean - at least not entirely. I mean is there another player where the money is better spent. Green occupies a roster spot at present. Josh's skill set and his trajectory has to be debated for sure. But there are multiple angles to this having to do roster needs than just Josh's player development. And with current trades still pending, he's the most expendable.
I feel like some people have attached themselves to his development without seeing that the front office has to concern itself with making the Mavericks roster more effective. It's going to be hard giving Green minutes in real games if you're not that comfortable using him in his third year with the club.
