THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[Chicagojk]

Green has been the only non big bench player who has been able to provide rotational level minutes in the playoffs. I’m still holding out hope that we can keep both him and DJJ without paying a first to dump Timmy.

That would be ideal.  I just don't like moving a good asset to get off Timmy.    We have few assets to offer and will need them either for future trades or valuable young & cheap players.   

Maybe a team will take Hardaway and a pick this offseason for something we actually desire.   Although maybe that happens at the trade deadline next year.   Hardaway wouldn't be in my plans next year even if he was here.    He would be sent to Fournier island.   But could you get a PJ type player back with his expring and a future first?

I want to highlight that young and cheap talent should not be brushed aside.  There is obvious risk picking in the 20's, but it is going to be vital to keep that pipeline solid moving forward with the higher end contracts we have.   I really feel that is where teams like PHX, MIL and others get lost in the woods.
