Trade & FA 2023-24: Stein-Ingram Trade Inevitable| LAL Want Lebron Back On Any Terms

And why didn't you post Green's numbers in comparison? Because that was the point I was making. Is his defense really good enough to justify taking minutes from Green?

Thybulle with Portland: defensive rating 116.4 (better than Portland's 118.0 defensive rating as a team but he dragged their offense down under 110 so he was still an overall negative)

Green with Dallas: defensive rating 112.8 (Dallas as a team was 116.1)

Both defenses were putrid. But Green making Dallas' defense -3.3 better is better than the -2.4 better you have listed for Thybulle. 

I would much rather add someone with size who could realistically slide up to at the least the 4 spot than just have Thybulle come in and either take minutes from Green lowering his potential value in a trade or being so bad he's glued to the bench like Frank was (not unlikely, either). I'll just be on record kind of hoping Portland matches

Mavs need more than one legit on ball defender on the floor. Don´t see a reason why both cannot play next to each other.
They obviously also need a bigger body but it´s not like they can just pick whoever they want. We don´t know if Williams is available or what it would cost to get him. Same for PJ Washington. If Thybulle is the bird in hand that wants to join the Mavs I wouldn´t waste the opportunity.
