Josh is the 4th best guard on the roster. He’s a nice piece but not for $17 million. I’d rather have a third wing, who can guard both guards and wings, than a 4th guard who can only guard guards. Or, I’d rather have a starting center (though I don’t think that’s as big a problem as most). What I’m really saying is that instead of paying Green a big salary, I’d like to upgrade him. Siakam is probably a pipe dream now, since I doubt we could beat the Hawks offer, but that would be a nice upgrade to Josh.
And regarding another comment, when DFS was traded, it seemed like Josh was forced to guard a lot of wings who were bigger than him, and he performed most poorly in that role. So, he guards guards, but then Hardy doesn’t get enough minutes. I just don’t think it’s optimal to have both of them. It’s just too small of a team.
