Trade & FA 2023-24: HOU Targeting Mikal Bridges again!| Mitchell is LAL #1 Target

[Mavs2021]

Can someone in the know enlighten me on Josh Green's current flaws that could put him out of favor with the MBT?  Without talking about contract.  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?

Well I think Josh Green has Dwight Powell syndrome. His direct opposition simply does not register that he exists in one-on-one possessions. He´s just a comfortable shot. Nevertheless he´s a good team defender and his direct replacement have been really poor in the past, so his +/- always looked good. And Luka makes everybody´s numbers better. That´s Green in a nutshell.

That being said, I won´t judge Green until he´s been with this new team for an extended period of time. Definitely will be happy to have another clutch 3pt shooting option.

Right now I´m clearly on team "run it back". Keep screening the market for a THJ/Powell trade, but that´s about it. Keep DJJ and make the 2nd round pick and you got your 15 team roster for next season. We are a young team now for the most part. There will be internal growth coming.
