I'll just point out an article that was posted in Mavs Moneyball website - which I happen to agree with. They list three things the Mavs could learn from this year's NBA champions.
#2 on the list was "Players on the Fringes Matter" ... and they point to Bejelica and Gary Payton II as examples of players the coaching staff was comfortable playing without reservation. In other words, having 8-10 players you can play in the playoffs can make a difference.
#3 on the list is "Don't Waste Your Window" - which is an obvious reference to a team's best window of time for a championship.
Josh Green is currently on a team that needs veteran depth. I think he's a poor fit for the Mavericks right now, but it's just an opinion. It's always possible Green figures it out and finds a way to stay on the court and be successful. I just wouldn't hang onto him hoping that happens.
