THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[mvossman]

But, back to where I agree with you: Green is getting more expensive as we go, and so the chances are getting higher that they'll move on from him as time passes. Mix in the obvious fact the Mavs should be thinking about what they need to win NOW, and it's not difficult to imagine how the window of Green being worth more here than he is as a throw-in getting smaller.

We are definitely in win now mode, but I think you still want to have some young guys with upside on the roster.  Right now we have Frank, Green and Hardy with no draft pick next year.  It's not like his 3 mil contract is going to do much in a trade and it doesn't impact cap.  After the great purge in the Wood trade, roster spots are not that valuable either, and the vet min pool is dry.  My thought is if he shows any improvement next season it will probably make sense to pull the trigger on the club option.
