Aussie, Aussie, Aussie: The Josh Green Thread

[HornetJail]

he's not even defending well these days

he's a min salary guy making the MLE. hope we can find a way out of that contract in the offseason

[JMAC3]

His defensive EPM is at 72% after starting the year incredibly bad, so at least seeing some improvement on that end. However he is still not worth this contract which is why I was pushing for him to be included in the Nurkic deal as a salary swap but instead we are sattled with both contracts and no cap space moving forward because of it.

[Chapelchilla]

He is a 9th man type but starting.

[Walt Cronkite]

I was pretty down on him last night, especially with the direct comparison to Jeffries (I recall them sharing the court a lot, but could be mistaken). He had a great possession of ball denial (on Trae I think) late in the game that was valuable and he's had some spurts throughout the season, but I don't have a lot of confidence in him as a potential starter at this point. Fortunately for fans, a quarter of the roster is auditioning to fill his archetype, so hopefully a couple of those guys work out. I don't think his contact is so bad that he's an albatross or anything and I guess he's young enough to improve, but he's got to just to avoid get squished out by Jeffries and Okogie and the development wing rotation.

Okogie & Daiquiries non-guaranteed most likely to be waived

NSJ rookie scale more likely to be waived

But Green? Who wants him on that kinda money?

They gonna waive 2 yrs $26M?

What’s to be done with Josh Green?

[HornetJail]

trade him to the Jazz, they want to tank anyway lol

[Diop]

he will cost assets to move most likely, i think we have him for the year

[GoBobs]

We just need him to play the Dort, Caruso, Jalen Wells, hatchet man sort of role.

Josh Green is the type of player who becomes a lot better if he is allowed to hand check a little bit. I am fine trading him. I am fine with keeping him.

He isn't nearly as bad as his detractors here believe.

Green?

The point is not that I don't think Green can be useful, the point is the team has the above 15 other players under contract, 9(!) of whom they just signed.

So if you keep Green which one of those guys is waived or shipped?

Which player do you think loses their spot to keep Josh Green?

Connaughton? Both guys maybe on the way out but Pat has a one year deal and could be moved elsewhere.

[Diop]

Conn does seem easier to move.

Conn has that championship connection with Charles from their time in MIL though. We'll see.
