Not a knock on Josh, it's more there is a glaring need that must be addressed and there are bound to be both busts and diamonds in the rough. I think they should load up their training camp with options and bet that one of them will blossom into a rotation player/starter.

If the Mavs could pull off a trade, they could conceivably draft two of the above. One at #26 and another in the second round.

The amount of pretzel twisting caveats that the collective Mavs fanbase feels compelled to use when making their disclaimer for Josh Green is amusing. I like to just go ahead and say - he is a bust.

There's really not that many people backing Josh Green. There is, however, a handful of people who can't quite let it go and focus on what can be done NOW instead of constantly bringing up the past decisions of a FO that is no longer here.

The only reason I am not willing to go full throttle "Josh Green is a bust" is that, if true, then he has no trade value. I believe he has a modicum of trade value and could possibly contribute somewhere down the line. Therefore he is not a bust. Pretty straight forward.
