"GM of .500 team trades assets to re-acquire veteran player who played decent ball for / against his team when he was coaching 5+ years ago"

kind of stuff you see bad franchises do

Felt the same way when he brought Horford back. Then Kanter.

An over-dependence on guys he knows and has worked with before. The easy option. The guy I know more about and trust vs riskier options where I do not know the player.

This feels spot on. I'm getting really nervous about this administration.

Trade Nesmith for Javonte Green, currently with Chicago.

Yeah , I like Javonte more than Uncle Snooze .  and yes Javonte is a far better pro and polished than Nessie who has fallen off a cliff in confidence.

eh I think having Horford on his contract is unquestionably better than having Kemba, so I'm fine with it.

if I have any complaint about acquiring Horford it's that he is in some ways a band-aid over the deficiencies the team has, and due to age and contract he is necessarily a short term solution.

did hurt to give up a 1st, but that's the price for getting out of cap hell.

Why would we want Jeff Green back? Especially at the expense of Schroder?

They're doubling off of Schroeder without any consequences right now. Absolutely unable to capitalize off a monster quarter from the Jay's.

I agree too, yet I like him as backup center at his stretch number of about $14MM.

He is a bad fit and can't be resigned next year (unless he plays where no one wants to offer more then the tax payers MLE)

I would say Jeff Green fills a position if need: swing/4 guy. Pushes JT/JB to their natural positions. He’s versatile and can hit the 3. Not sure why people are so annoyed by Jeff Green. He’s had a good career since leaving Boston as a veteran role player. I’d be ok with it. Not sure why Denver would do it though.

Whenever I watch it seems the Jay's are getting swarmed because nobody can shoot

Schroeder cant defend up a position either

But I don't watch enough to have a good sample size

But I feel Schroeder for Green would be a good move here

Am I wrong

He reminds me of Terry Rozier that way. Very good at defending his own position but dead in water the moment he has to switch.

Rozier was at least longer and felt more disruptive on D

Plus he can shoot

Maybe I'm wrong, again
