Straight swap; Josh Green for Harrison Barnes

Sac gets younger, Dallas brings back a high character guy who knows the team and is close friends with Kyrie.

Sacramento wants to get better, not younger

What do you mean by birdcage? Because Harrison is high character, workaholic, really wants to contribute. Pretty much everything Green is not

Lol. If you’re going to criticize green can you please at least not make stuff up.

Every time you do this dumb ass **** I ask you how is green not a high character guy? And you never have an answer. Be a man and answer the question or leave the kid alone.

Trade is awful. Makes Dallas worse. As much as OP wants to whine about green because he’s obsessed with him, Dallas has been a better team when green is on the floor then off in the last 2 seasons.

Thought u were a mavs fan last time barnes were here? Maybe not. When barnes were traded mavs fans were celebrating more then when powell got benched cause we got lively and gafford.

I understand why Mavs fans don't like Barnes, but to be fair, he was put in a position that he had no chance to succeed.

If a GM signs a max contract to a player -who is at best a 5th option on his team- to be the 1st option, I blame the GM, not the player.

I also think Barnes, 6'8 ironman who does not need the ball in his hands, would be a good fit with ball dominant Doncic and oft injured Kyrie - that's why I don't like the trade for the Kings. You don't want to improve a team you're fighting for a playoff spot.

We just fixed our defense. Harrison Barnes makes us a worse basketball team.

People can dunk on him all they want, Josh Green has been a fixture in a lot of Dallas’s most successful lineups for the past 2 seasons. He’s better then Barnes.

Me being a Mavs fan since the 3J era and not knowing what some birdcage reference has nothing to do with anything

As the other poster said, Barnes was put in a position he couldn't do, he's not a #1 or 2. Now here, he wouldn't have to.

He has basketball iq, unlike Green, and doesn't only show glimpses hen its time to reup his contract

Pretty much this.

Can't judge him though, I'd trade THJ for the worst contract in the league just to not see him in a Mavs jersey anymore.

When you hate a player this much, it's hard to not get your feelings in a Mavs trade.

Throwing it into the backcourt to seal the game for Dallas was certainly appreciated. Guess I underrated him...

Yeah but THJ actually does play low IQ, inefficient basketball. OP is like 40 and has picked some 22 year old to be his mortal enemy and then has to make up reasons why. He keeps claiming Green has a low IQ, bad character, and no work ethic without any discussion of why or evidence.

Never said or even alluded to Barnes being some all world talent, but he's better than Green, to me there's no argument to the contrary.

Barnes never lived up to his scouting hype, but even drafted at #7, there are less players drafted after him that are leaps & bounds better than the amount of guys drafted after our great find at #18 in 2020

[jayjaysee]

I’d rather trade THJ for Barnes. Or find the value to turn Maxi into Barnes. But I like the idea of Barnes back if there’s no better forward available for the assets Dallas has..

In a sea of bad analysis on the internet this is the worst, so congrats. Their draft positions has nothing to do with how the play on the court.

Yea the reason I mentioned Green is I'd hate for the Mavs to have both his and Barnes contracts on the books. If they can turn Maxi into HB, then trade Green for a backup 4 (while retaining DJJ), would beneficial for the team

I love Maxi more than most here, and have for years, but just seems like the contract to trade here.. I’d picture Barnes plays most the backup four minutes and you go find a small minute big for the bench, or you hope Prosper develops if he’s not included in the Maxi/Barnes swap. He probably would be?

Forward rotation like;
PJ/Barnes/vet min
Barnes/DJJ/“Green-Hardaway”

feels underwhelming, but fine. Especially, if Gafford keeps proving Chuck right and Lively develops a bit his second season..

I understand why Mavs fans don't like Barnes, but to be fair, he was put in a position that he had no chance to succeed.

Only Mavs fans who hate Barnes are the kind of fans who hate Dwight Powell or Josh Green. Just kind of bitter people in general. Barnes was asked to be a 1st option in Dallas when he's not that guy, but he tried anyway because he is that kind of high character guy.

We aren't like the Warrior fanbase where a large minority of fans blamed him for them not winning the title the year before KD showed up. Sure he missed some shots, but you never lose a series because of your 6th best player. Cmon now.

That's a bit of an unfair generalization, at least when it comes to Green. I dont think its unreasonable to dislike a guy who constantly plays erratically and has all the physical tools to be a difference maker, but doesnt seem to care enough to do so. Especially when his best stretch coincided with the team's worst and they seem to be playing better without him. But the FO deserves the msot blame, passing on 2 all star level players with Dallas ties for Josh Green is inexplicable.

But this Green hater is the one proposing this, so yea I'd be happy to have Barnes back.
