You probably don't think that way (not sure I do, either). I don't think they want to be rid of the kid, necessarily, but I have no trouble believing that they want to avoid needing him for even one playoff minute this time around. McGee addresses that a little, maybe, but only if you think he and Powell are both going to play sizable roles in the playoffs. I do not think they will.
I think they can live with Green if they don't need his salary for something else. I suspect they are simply ambivalent of his play at this point. Hardy will likely be the new flavor-of-the-month.
My idea of a "wing" was more of a banger type, not the softer three-ball shooter. I think they could use more of a true PF. But there's been no rumors to pounce on.
Most of the Dallas writers still think there's another player in the works once Durant makes a decision, and that still feels like the most likely scenario.
