If I had Garuba (kind of a Green starter kit), I'd probably try to use 19 and 2027 for a Turner-like center. Win now and add to the youth movement at the same time. I'm not against Green. In fact, I see that as a strong possibility. But, Green plays a lot more time with Looney than without. If Green at center is a specialty lineup, then, we still don't have the needed center for the rest of the minutes.
I have very mixed feelings about Green myself, because he is a huge long term gamble. But somehow it seems to me he will be the prime target for Mavs this summer.
I agree we would still need a center and Turner would be awesome fit. I don't think Turner is worth more than 1 unprotected pick Mavs can offer. However, I think Turner won't be available at all.
