Losing out on Thybulle means that he's the only decent perimeter defender on roster aside from Exum, whom we can only hope will crack the 8-man. We have several decent frontcourt defenders - GW, OMax, Maxi, Lively, DJJ. Anything that trades Josh away for a center creates problems, imho, unless the Mavs have genuine hopes that OMax is soooo good that he'll crack the starting lineup (!) by the end of the year and can defend on-ball.
I couldn't agree more. IMO, OMax has to shoot 3pt% at least 32% to be in the 8-man rotation. Defensively can OMax be an on-ball defender? He's almost the identical size as OG.
Signing J.Green at 4yrs/$20m per (which seems about right), would that be against our cap this year? If so, we're like $17m over the first apron.
