I get that he is locked up for a few season and that is favorable to other teams in trades(usually for super stars not role players).
My casual opinion is his defense isnt as average as some suggest...but I am a casual. I think the plays hard and gets stupid fouls...but he is usually on his man. I have seen some youtube breakdowns from earlier in the season that were looking at Mavs defensive issues...and the breakdowners opinion was Josh was making the right rotations on defense. So, plays hard, has good lateral movement, makes proper rotations, pesky on lose balls...
On offense he can shoot the 3 now, can pass very good, is a high flyer in transition....cant dribble well or create, only can dribble with right hand, not very good at finishing at the rim(but has gotten better)...
What are his major issues that we would want to move on from? Or what skill does he not possess that we need to cash him in for? Just a more reliable 2way player? Seems like his issues are on offense....but do we need him dribbling/creating or scoring a lot? I guess his hustle and 3 shot arent cutting it and we want a more consistent 2 way player that can score at all 3 levels?
If Josh Green was on another team his name would be Quentin Grimes or Tari Eason and we would be concocting deals to trade Josh Green and a 1st round pick for him. Then Grimes or Eason would arrive here and seeing them on the regular we would invariably notice their various imperfections (some of which overlap almost exactly with Josh Green’s.) Then we would wistfully reminisce and collectively wish we had never traded (the original) Josh Green.
Sorry I somehow put my response in the body of your text youzig!
