Are Mavs planning on playing him and actually trying to see how far they can get? Or...is he a back up plan in the event JRich lays a stinker in the first game or two?
I kind of side with JRich agent on this if Mavs arent serious this year. I would avoid taking money out of JRich and Duffy's pockets if you arent serious about winning this year. But if Green gets serious minutes it kind of seems like they are trying to take the year/playoffs seriously.
I'll take the rare role of an RC apologist and say that the coaches were likely working with Green behind the scenes, and he finally got to a point in practice where he deserved a shot - and we are seeing the results.
The homer in me wants to think that's what happened, and in this case, given how raw he looked earlier in the season, I think it's also likely the case.
