Green is too much, given, as KL would say, "having to watch Kyle Kuzma in a Mavs' uniform." No more solidly does anyone fit in the Venn diagram juncture of "NBA player" and "douche" than Kyle Kuzma. But he would replace THJ's offensive production while being a slightly better fit. I'd be okay with the deal if it were THJ, Holmes, Hardy, and '27 for Kuzma and Gafford. If it's Green, then the Mavs would have to find a way to win the Grimes sweepstakes in their need for a POA defender while no longer having a FRP to trade.
This is an interesting trade. If Kuz is the excrement sandwich you have to eat to get Gafford, then so be it. And he does have 6th man potential if he were good with that role. Gafford is an excellent addition. But to get them, it’s going to take something more like THJ, Holmes, Hardy, Omax, and the 1st. In the short run, that’s a swap of THJ for Gafford and Kuz, a no brainer. Holmes and Hardy have no on court value. Omax has potential and is hard to give up, but maybe you consider it here. It really comes down to over the next three years whether you’d rather have Omax and THj or Kuz and Gafford.
