I’m a bigger fan than most of Bojan I would imagine. But no way I’d send Green or 2027 first round pick for him. He used to be an underrated defender and guarded prime Lebron about as effectively as possible when he was with Indiana. But he has definitely lost a step in that regard. I understand the $ angle is important too. I’d just hate to send out an athlete like Green for a year and a half of Bojan, who doesn’t really fill either of our two biggest needs— back up Big or shut down wing. And, further, it creates new hole at point of attack defender, leaving Exum as the only other plus defender at guard.Green is by no means a finished product in this area, but he is active and disruptive and always hustling. He has gotten better at pressuring the ball handler without fouling this season it seems to me.
