I'm with Cow on this.
There are vet wing guys playing for the minimum who can play defense and score 6 points a game. Every team has some of those. That doesn't mean Green is junk. And it also doesn't mean we need to over-value him.
Josh could play for years in the NBA just as well as guys like Frankie or James Johnson can hang around. Lots of players are situational players. Justin Jackson is still in the league (barely), but he is pretty much still the same old Justin Jackson as he was after his second year - but with fewer and fewer minutes every year. We don't need to hold onto Green thinking he's starter material. His value is not likely to be much better in two years. I'm pretty sure management knows that.
I've heard "give him some time" since he was drafted. The average number of playing years for a typical NBA player is 4.5 years, and we've been "grooming" Josh for over half that. Most teams know what they have after this length of time.
