They should trade Josh, if they can get something useful for him. I don't believe we can get anything for Hardy.
And for all THJ haters, he's instrumental for Mavs winning, because there're simply noone else, who can score beside Luka/Kyrie.
THJ playing close to his contract for what its worth. He is instrumental for Mavs winning for like any decent $15-20m per year SG.
When your star player is out, you expect all others to play to their contracts to win the game. To be fair Grizzlies missing their franchise player too.
The problem is Luka-THJ were already offering offensive firepower with defensive deficiency. Now with Kyrie in, top 3 earners of Mavs is paid a total of $100m for PG-SG players who cannot defend much. I mean if you were paying Luka and Shai then it would be fine.
You should not pay $100m for PG-SG players who cannot defend.
Out of Luka-Kyrie-THJ, you need to send at least one out.I am no Josh Green fan or hater, he got an extension (similar money offered to Brunson). At age 23, for $13m/year, its hard to expect good BBIQ, 3-pt shooting, defense, athleticism together. That type of players are hard to find, it takes assets to get them. And they are probably paid higher.
Strange collection of players is created by the FO. Investing in Kyrie basically removed our rotation players. I mean Mavs had Dinwiddie-DFS, who I'd say have a BBIQ, at least the experience. That team made the WCF. Mavs denied to give Brunson $13m at the time, and later not offered $20-25m to compete with the Knicks. That was the 2nd S.Nash mistake of Cuban and he's trying to fix that with Kyrie disaster.
