Quote:Kai H. asks, “What is the current view of Josh Green in the front office? Is he being talked about in trade discussions, or is he viewed as a key piece?”
Dallas understands it must build a title-contending team around Dončić in the next couple seasons, and every non-Dončić player on the roster should be considered available in that pursuit. That said, my understanding is that the Mavericks would be very hesitant to trade Green at this point. One person in the front office told me that he considered him the team’s third-most important player after Dončić and Dinwiddie.
In my opinion, Green isn’t a player who should be traded for anything other than a package for a legitimate star. And the chances are pretty slim that the Mavericks could build any package right now, even including Green, that would net them another star. That makes his future with the team fairly safe, at least for now. I’m more curious what type of extension Dallas might consider for him this coming summer.
