Option 2:
THJ, Green, #26
for
Bamba, Ross, #35
Honestly think Bamba provides everything Ayton would (other than playoff experience) for cheaper. I also don't think the Suns are in the mood to trade Ayton to us.

At #35 you might be able to get someone like Trevion Williams (Purdue). That would be a shot in the arm (along with Bamba) to improve Mavs rebounding.

Trevion is a hell of a passer too. It'd be nice to have Luka/SD/Brunson going outside in and then Trevion going inside out

I’d pull the trigger on that deal. I like Bamba and think he would fit well here. Ross has 1 more year on his deal, and we still have a draft pick for Nico to use. I know Green is still young, but I think Frank can fill his role just fine if not better.

We need to quit with the Josh Green is young narrative. Go to Hoop Hype and they have a listing of 40 players all rated much higher than Josh that were born the year before Josh 1999 to 2022 (2 calendar years after Josh who was born in 2020). That is at least 40 players that are contemporaries of Josh. He is not a unicorn in terms of age for gods sake.
https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-global-rating-age/
As a reminder Luka, Saddiq, Jordan Poole, Ja et al were born the year before Josh. His is not a teenager.
Bottom line: The thought that Josh hasn't developed or played much because he is young is mixing up correlation with causation. He doesn't play because he is not good. It is not the other way around.

Bingo. Some people still cling onto Green because of how bad that draft was for us, so I can't really blame them. He and Powell suffer from plays well against bad teams syndrome. And then we all get a glimmer of hope only to be let down when it really matters.
I mean, I'd keep Green over Powell, but it makes more sense to move him for someone more polished if possible.

That’s great and all, but Josh is 21 years old. He’s still young. I won’t argue that he’s not good.
