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.
Overall, this is reasonable and I agree.
I just want to point out that Exum wasn’t as good as green is now before he had to go overseas for a couple of years to figure things out.
So, the “green is what he is” part of all of this discussion is not a given, imo. And ironically, Exum sort of proves that.
