After more than a dozen games of testing, Kerr gradually realized that these young players still need time to grow, so their personal positioning has become simple, which is the scope that their current personal experience and technology can bear. Because of the clear division of labor, Divinchenzo held the ball and instigated the ball, Poole's main offense and ended without the ball, and Kumingga was the number one-sized Peyton. The Warriors' substitute lineup was driven by , Green and . This is also the reason why we are no longer pessimistic. Even if we lose, the future will be bright.
The Warriors' second team can perform well, and I have to mention one person, that is, dream-Green. This season, he dreamed of returning to his peak, maintaining stable performance on the defensive end, while performing very aggressively on the offensive end. Without the pride of the past and no longer indulge in his podcast program, how powerful is Green, who is dedicated? So far this season, he averaged 9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 60.2 and a three-point shooting percentage of 32%.
Compared with last season, his offensive desire has become stronger, and his shooting percentage has increased by almost eight points, which shows how rational and focused his offense is. But because of this, with only more than one season left in the contract, Green was coveted by other teams for a long time.
According to NBA analyst James Piercey, the Mavericks, who have a poor record recently, are looking for opportunities to strengthen, and Green has become the team's target for signings. It is reported that the Mavericks management has launched a offer to the Warriors, and the trading chips are given very generous, including Hardaway, Finney Smith , and the first round of 2025 pick. In other words, this will be a potential "3 for 1" transaction plan. The Mavericks also spent a lot of money to get Green, and sacrificed the second in command and the outside 3D.
Is Green suitable for the Mavericks? The answer is self-evident. This team has a group of shooters who can defeat any team when they are in good condition. However, the Mavericks rely too much on Doncic's performance. As long as he gets the game, the team seems to be unable to play. It seems like a wrong choice to let Brunson go in the offseason, so a player who can defend and organize is needed. Green is more than enough to be Doncic's deputy in such a shooter group.
So are the other two suitable for the Warriors? Hardaway averaged 10.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 32.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 30.8%. Finney Smith averaged 9.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1.1 steal and 0.6 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 41.8% and three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. Judging from the technical characteristics, both of them have first-hand three-pointers and have good offensive ability to hold the ball, which is very suitable for the Warriors' tactical system.
However, the Warriors' inside strength depends on Green's performance, and he is the defensive core of this team; once he is let go, the two shooters he get can improve the Warriors' three-point shooting ability, but also increase the pressure on Curry ; not only that, the Warriors' inside defense will collapse, and they cannot go further with a group of forwards.
In other words, if the Warriors still adhere to the dynasty tactical system, it would be a mistake to let Green go; unless the system is reconstructed and no longer aims to win the championship, it may be possible.
