Josh Green to Charlotte

I've seen so much negative response to this deal.  We gave up 2 second round picks (basically nothing) for a 23-yr old who shoots 38-40% from 3, is an above average defender, started half the year last year, has Finals experience.  This is a young, inexpensive, great shooting, high-upside role playing guard....isn't that something we need?

I would guess fans want more of a splash move in free agency.  I like the move but it’s fairly clear that we aren’t a desired destination for better FAs

Yeah - why would we be?  The NBA is all about Superteams and Championship runs.  None of the splash guys are going to go here until we hit a few stars to build around.  LaMelo and BMiller aren't big enough....and Bridges' future is uncertain.  1 Star won't get us a deep playoff run....probably an appearance and 1st round exit.

I love the Green trade. I think people will be surprised at how well he does with a bigger role in Charlotte. I’d honestly pencil him in as the starting two guard.

So far we’ve added Green and Jackson and lost Curry (who apparently they want back), Thor, and Bailey.

1 - LaMelo Ball, Vasilije Micic, Tre Mann, K.J. Simpson

2 - Josh Green, Reggie Jackson, Nick Smith Jr., Bryce McGowens

3 - Brandon Miller, Cody Martin, Aleksej Pokusevski, Leaky Black

4 - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun, Davis Bertans

5 - Mark Williams, Nick Richards, Marques Bolden

There’s still moves to be made and it’s likely that Bertans, McGowens and maybe even Pokusevski are waived as all three have non-guaranteed contracts.

Isn’t Bridges a FA?

I feel like they’ll bring him back but I could be wrong.

I think we should absolutely bring him back. Hopefully he can be realistic on the money.  Before this horrible thing he did he was a fringe all star player.  
Also, outside of the suspension he plays.  He hasn’t been injured much.  I keep him.

This dude has had 40+ pt games and can play 3 or 4.

Real question would you trade Melo for Steph? No clue how the money would work but lots of people are turning on Ball and Curry probably has 2 decent seasons left? Warriors are going to be a fringe playoff team next year and might be looking to start over.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
