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

I really think we'll all look back and be happy that Green was kept. He seems like he's finally blossoming into a critical player.

Total speculation by a casual:

I think Josh Green is about to be given his opportunity but is on a somewhat short leash.   It took 4 years, though.  Mavs are still "iffy" on his total skill package but have fallen in love with his work ethic, hustle and game improvement.

I think Kidd and some FO people hate his offensive bag...most notably his dribbling/creating skills and underwhelming ability to finish at rim one on one.

I find Green's name coming up in past few trade sessions(Summer and TDL) interesting.   Seems like Mav's have been trying to find a team that is smitten with Green and cash in....while using the media to claim "Green is off limits" to boost Green's confidence in the Mavs and himself.

Now that Dallas filled some issue areas on the roster...I think they are going to give Josh his chance.   If Josh doesnt hit his 3's or somehow looks lost on defense...I think they move him this Summer or next TDL.

I think they want a more well rounded 2-way at Josh's position and are about to give him a chance to show his worth.   I think he is about to get a bunch of 3 looks that he has to knock down or he is in the dog house.   More Josh, Less Tim.  If Josh fails...More Tim, Less Josh.

Anyone notice last night Mavs played a more organized brand of offense?   Like the past 4 years...they play simple rec ball for first half of season and then after ASB they start showing more of their hand.  Last night they were playing organized ball on quite a few possessions and Green seems like he is about to get a bunch of 3 looks like Bullock did.   If Josh fails...I think they move him.
