LMA's defense is still pretty good, but his offense is an anachorism in today's game, especially against elite teams. 20 foot jumpers and 18 foot turnarounds is shitty offense. He's not better than Love right now.
I think Green would be a very good addition. I think he would wind up givingLeBron more rest because Green would provide defense to that first unit and this team could build leads better. How many times did we have Love firing threes in the first, Kyrie scoring, LeBron, and wind up leading by only 2 or 3 or 4?
People don't realize that JR isn't a great defender in that starting unit while Green is still one of the best perimeter defenders as a two guard. They don't look for JR as much anymore and the offense is still deadly potent so while Green's peak is not as high on offense, overall, his impact is higher. Green would add a plus defender who the Spurs often put on Harden, Durant, good PGs since Parker couldn't guard them. Then you could bring JR off the bench with LeBron and help extend leads. Honestly, the team would build bigger leads, be able to rest LeBron perhaps a little more and perhaps have more in the tank come the finals. Not enough to get us over the top, but I think makes us better.
