Celtics: Celtics motivated to trade Green

[Raven]

He would be fine as a #4 guy, I'm just saying, a lot of people have expected him to grow into a good #2 or 3 guy the past few years, which he isn't capable of doing, tbh..

define #2, if you mean wade then yeah, but if you mean an average #2 in the league, he's already there tbh. you can find better players obviously, but he's good enough and young enough imho.

[Rogue]

guys with "green" as their surname are generally overrated for some reason. Jeff Green, Danny Green, and even that English goalkeeper Robert Green

[LnGrrrR]

Jeff Green sucks. For the Spurs fans that want him: if you were pissed at RJ's level of aggression/consistency and ability to Casper at any moment, you will hate Jeff Green. Jeff Green is the Spurs version of RJ only with no history of ever being good. So you can't even hope for his "old ways", he just sucks.

This, a million times.

[apalisoc_9]

Didn't he score 40 against Miami in the playoffs last and was easily the best player in the team in the playoffs?

[Killakobe81]

Knew you would bite, dmc.
Doesn't change the fact even with a rebuilding plan ...they still tanking. They just doing it better and smarter than most especially Lakers.

[HarlemHeat37]

So, you would take him ahead of:

- Paul Millsap/Jeff Teague
- Joakim Noah
- Luol Deng
- Deron Williams
- Monta Ellis
- Klay Thompson/Iguodala
- Dwight Howard/Parsons
- Stephenson/Hibbert/West
- Griffin/Jordan
- Pau
- Randolph/Conley
- Wade/Bosh
- Pekovic/Martin
- Holiday/Anderson
- Vucevic
- Kemba Walker
- Dragic
- Lillard
- Gay/Thomas
- Duncan/Ginobili/Leonard
- Amir Johnson/Derozan
- Favors

Those are all #2/3 guys that I would put a few levels above Jeff Green, tbh..

Then there are a number of #4 guys I'd take over him, too..

[baseline bum]

Butthurt that MethKC traded Green away for Prkins

Gotta be my favorite trade all-time. It destroyed the Celtics by sending Garnett EMO and then broke up a dynasty in the making in crank city. I can't think of too many others of comparable hilarity.

i wouldn't trade green for those bolded tbh, either because of age or tyness. but that's just my opinion of course, and you could argue fairly easily. p.s. you serious about kemba?

Green over Favors? Really?

[Seventyniner]

How would you feel about Jeff Green if his contract were cut in half? i.e. $4.6M per year for the next 2 years. If that changes your mind then rather than being overrated, perhaps he's just overpaid.

[Raven]

Green over Favors? Really?

i'm a favors hater tbh, i think he's been overrated almost like nobody else in this league.

[Reeko_Htown]

This, a million times.

So he's like the Vet version of Harrison Barnes?

[LnGrrrR]

79er, I'd be a lot happier if his contract was cut in half, especially since the Celtics essentially bid against themselves. He was just coming off heart surgery, and most people thought he'd get around 6 mil IIRC. It was stupid of them to sign him at 8 a year.

[HarlemHeat37]

damn, Jeff Green having by far the best game he's had in months after this thread was created, tbh..

Green has been playing great this year iirc

[HarlemHeat37]

Green has been playing great this year iirc

15 PPG on 42% shooting and a 13 PER is playing great?..

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

i don't watch boston play dude... but weren't you the one that said "PER is for squares" .....

[HarlemHeat37]

It's a box score stat, it's a quick summary instead of having to type all of Green's numbers..

[LnGrrrR]

Way to go Green, up that trade value! Ainge, trade him quick before he goes 2-9 with 2 assists and 3 rebounds next game!

Tonight's box score:

Jeff Green: 2-13, (1-7 on 3s), 2 rebounds, 1 assist. I gave him too much credit.

[FYM]

Green sucks, nothing new

[SpurSwag]

Desperately want him on the spurs, his offensive production would be gravy but he's got size, decent defender, mobile pf, and can stretch the floor. all along with his great athleticism and ability to go off every once in a while would make him perfect for us imo

Did you just describe Richard Jefferson? Only part you missed was horrible contract.

[Banzai]

The Boston Celtics are motivated to trade Jeff Green, according to rival executives.
One trade possibility is Green in a package to the Houston Rockets for Omer Asik.
The Rockets were close to a deal involving Asik in December, but decided to keep him until closer to the deadline. Green would give the Rockets a needed stretch power forward.

great sig tbh

[D-Wade]

I have Green in fantasy. He's been pretty good. He was actually really balling early in the season til Ainge in tank mode said something like "Green isn't a star yet." Green being mentally shaky, it probably his confidence for a bit. Still, he's been pretty good this year.
