I really like Dinwiddie's game minus the hero-ball antics. Although, part of that is that he's been given the green light by Kidd; starting to think THJ would have made things a lot easier for him and the Mavs.
Green has shown flashes in season and in game 3 of being a nice rotation piece. That said, in this particular series, if THJ was there to eat those minutes it would be a game changer.
Green isn't a lockdown defender at this point and I don't think what you lose there would offset what a nightmare THJ's spacing would be for Utah's defense.
Green also adds some hustle plays and playmaking that THJ doesn't...but this series boils down to the Mavs making 3's and keeping Gobert away from the paint. THJ would have been a serious weapon in that regard.
