Pretty good article on how Green could be used in Dallas to maximize his skill set

Playmaking can substitute for shooting, given the right lineups

Spacing. Spacing. Spacing! Spacing is one of the most important buzzwords when it comes to current NBA offenses. This is even called the "Pace and Space Era." Perhaps no team is more committed to spacing than the Dallas Mavericks. Therefore, it stands to reason that shooting is of paramount importance for any player hoping to gain minutes for the Dallas Mavericks.

This is not exactly a good thing for Josh Green. While it stands to reason that shooting is incredibly important to building an effective offense, my contention is that when deployed around good shooting, playmaking actually becomes a more important and effective part of a successful offense than an additional average to mediocre shooter.
