Whether he fits depends on how many minutes you think you would allocate to others. The current depth chart looks like this:
Rotation Sporadic Backup
C - DP, Maxi (Chriss, Bobi)
PF - DFS, Bertans
SF - Bullock, Green (Brown)
SG - Brunson (Franky) (THJ)
PG - Luka, SD (Burke)
You have 144 minutes to divide at SF-SG-PG between 5 players, and Green isn't likely to get a full share. But if he gets 1/2 of what the others do, and they basically get the same apiece, that's 32 per (with Green getting 16). With GD replacing Burke and also getting a regular half-shift, it's 28 each (and GD/Green each gets 14), which is pretty sparse minutes for your better players. I can see why they'd decide 'no' this time.
