No one disagrees with that. Not even the Mavs. They could have easily sent him to HOU in the Wood deal if they didn't want him anymore. They are willing to move on when a player isn't in their plans, but apparently they see enough upside where they're continuing and looking for him to contribute, just like with anyone else.
You're not disrespectful.
My "assertion" was almost every poster talks about Green like they know his upside - as if that were the Mavs only consideration. That's the entire conversation in most threads about Green. It's usually about his youth or his defense. I'm saying his "upside" is relative to several other things besides just his personal growth as a player. The Mavs can only wait so long for a useful wing player. I suspect they can get a minimum contract player to be more useful than Green. I personally think that how he ended the season last year was the writing on the wall. So I don't expect him to be on the roster when the 2023 season is over.
