I really don't think this organization ever thought that Green or Frank (or Hardy) could run the point when Luka and Din were out. I think the plan has always been for them to be 3&D guys with a little secondary playmaking. Most of what we heard regarding those two was org speak because they didn't have somebody else in place yet.
I agree with the second part.
But Burke was playing with Brunson ahead of him. That's no longer the case with FC. There are really only three developed players on the Mavs now that have a strong history of running a team. I personally think FC would have gone back to Europe if he didn't at least expect last year's mpg with Denver or close to it. I doubt that happens the first part of the season though.
