MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[DanSchwartzgan]

I think there has always been two rather different takes on Green on this board. This season though, it appears that both of these factions are starting to meet in the middle.

Green can play rotation minutes (I was never sure about that), but he's clearly inconsistent. He's had enough years to straighten that out I think, although he still may progress some. In a nutshell, I'm happy where he is because he's got some value in a trade. But I think Exum has now become what we've would have liked Green to become. And because of other players at the wing, Green is more expendable now than any season prior.

So my feelings about Green are largely ambivalent at this point. I hope he is currency in a trade, but I don't feel he is always a net-minus in the rotation.

I think this is fair (certainly more fair than some of your early takes here).  

For me, it is the flashes he shows.  Somewhere in there is a really good multi-tool player who fits well with a ball dominant lead guard.  But, between injuries and inconsistency (or inconsistent role), he can't seem to put it together other than in occasional bursts.  

I don't like the idea of trading him because I think he may put it together for someone else.  But, if the prize is big enough I'm fine with him being in the package.  Heck, I've been putting Green in packages since the summer and I'm his biggest defender.  You can't be absolute on these things.  Almost anyone can be traded if the return is right.
