He is at his most value when one or both of Luka/Kyrie are off the court and his current injury is overuse related. We probably need to be careful with him and keep his minutes restricted. Should be easy to do when the team is healthy.
I agree that’s probably his most valuable use on this roster but what I would say is that it shouldn’t be hard to figure out a rotation that starts all three and still accomplishes always keeping 2 of the 3 on the court throughout the game. The question is really whether they find value in having all three playmakers on the floor at once and how they slot the importance of those minutes.
I also agree they’ll bring Exum off the bench most likely because it’s easier that way and because he’s been hurt but I’m just pointing out there is still an argument to have him out there. Green has also played well enough to not lose the spot though imo.
Kidd still hasn’t crowned Green a starter vocally, he’s only done that for Exum, he even mentioned that they were “missing all 5 starters” the other night when Exum and DJJ were both out.
