Thinking we should go after Jeff Green....

http://basketball.realgm.com/tradech..._trade/6216519

Why Boston- they have sullinger, garnett. This trade will free up 9mill in cap space. Boston move these pieces to go after Gasol and I think the can compete again.

Gasol
Garnett
Pierce
Lee
Rondo

Why Hornets- green is the answer at the three. Young Vet, athletic, can play defense and spreed the floor.

So they should trade their SF for a third PF?

Always thought of him as more of a 3

If we're going after guys like that, we should grab Perry Jones instead.

Not exactly..they are trading a 9M bench SF (Pierce is the starter) for a quality Center (if they can get Gasol). Garnett is not a true center and they have been leaking ever since the Perkins trade.

I want guys who can knock down shots. Look at SA. Who on that team can't hit a shot?

Rondo is now out for the season....are they more willing to pull the trigger on a trade since they can't compete for a championship this year?

A big fat no from me. He's getting paid 36 million over 4 years (including this year) for below average production. Pass.

I was wondering why I hadn't heard about it yet, ESPN just put up the story 5 minutes ago. Thanks for the heads up

Is he known to have a legit 3 point shot? I know he's got a good mid range game.

He can definitely make them. Especially the corner. He's an average three shooter. He's 3 pointer is comparable to that of LeBrons.

Gotcha, thanks... I'll take anyone who can create a shot at this point.

He's waayy overpaid. If Boston is willing to blow things up we should be looking at Lee instead.

Very much over paid and i would not welcome him or his contract to this team ....on the other hand if we could get sefelosha from the thunder I'd love it!!!!;)

He is not over paid for what he brings to the team. If all we are looking for is friendly contracts we might as well never look to compete. We are going to look like the Sacremeto Kings if we keep looking for mediocre players.

Andre Iguodala =$14,718,250
Andrei Kirilenko =$9,779,349
Trevor Ariza =$7,258,960
Jeff Green =$8,100,000

When you factor in the length and size of the contract compared to production, I think Jeff Green is one of the worst 20 contracts in the league. Maybe bottom 10. How many below average players have a contract worth an average of 9 million per year? How many of those have 3+ years left on the deal?

I am going through the bad contracts in my head, and I can't come up with 10 that are worse, all things considered

I'd much rather pair up a cheaper shooter at 3 than pay Green 8 mil a year. I understand not wanting to just settle with "mediocre" players, but paying average players big money isn't the way to stop that trend...

This will be fun. Rank the worst contracts in the league. My top 5:

1. Amare ( 3 years/64 million)
2. Andrea Bargnani (3 years/33 million)
3. Carlos Boozer (3 years/47 million)
4. Joe Johnson (4 years/88 million)
5. Drew Gooden (3 years/20 million)

Damn, Gooden? His agent deserves a raise.

Sigh...this is why you get called out on your bs. You are so selective with your use of "facts." Rudy Gay (3/53) has a better contract than Carlos Boozer (3/47)? LOL. By what metric? And why is Boozer's deal so bad?

Boozer is a highly productive, efficient and super consistent offensive and defensive player, has better efficiency numbers across the board than Gay, yet makes millions per year less than him. They both play on winning teams with great defenses, so Boozer certainly isn't putting up empty stats.

So lets hear it. How is Gay's contract more valuable than Boozer's? And why statistically is Boozer's so bad (3rd WORST...LOL)? Because the numbers (facts) say Boozer is a more productive and efficient player for cheaper.

Pretty simple right?

With rondo hurt they actually need a PG. but that would leave us with rivers or Roberts running the point. Ehhhhhh

Where is the word facts anywhere in my opinion of the five worst contracts? I invited everyone to put out their own. Go ahead, disagree and put out yours, nobody is stopping you.

And I guarantee nobody else will be as immature in their evaluation of your subjective list. But thanks for calling me out on my "BS". I feel sorry for whatever has made you such an angry person in your life. Try to relax. It is a game.

1. Joe Johnson (not even close imo)


2. Amare Stoudemire
3. Andrea Bargnani
4. Drew Gooden
5. Jeff Green
6. John Salmons
7. Ty Thomas
8. Michael Beasley
9. Rudy Gay
10. Carlos Boozer

Damn, Joe Johnson must be one of the wealthiest players in the league right now.

Say what you will, but I think Deron Williams has an atrocious contract. I think its like 5 yrs $95mil?

Well I was going to say that I love him as a player because he is a former Illini, but Deron Williams because his production has fallen off this year and his teammate Joe Johnson has to be 2 of the worst contracts next to Amare Stoudemire.

If Derron Williams or Rajon Rondo became Pelicans I wouldn't buy tickets til they left. I can not stand either of those *** clowns.

I didnt say we're looking for friendly contracts. I said he is on a bad contract. He is on same type of contract as ryno. You think he is as good as ryno?? Not even close. They gave him that contract out the kindness of their hearts after that whole health incident. I know that prob sounds silly but its true. I am not against paying out some big contracts if the player is worth it. Sorry but Jeff green aint the guy to get us over the hump. We are only 1 to 2 key pieces away from a 3-5 seed. IMO...with some tweaks to the bench as well of course.

Rondo I get. Williams less so. Unless its because of that contract.

why on earth would we covet him? We need NBA-level back-ups who can handle the ball.
I see the Mavs are lookin' at A.I., and I would too before Green.
Monty sees the future in Aminu. So do I. Let the man gget his minutes. At his rate of improvement over the last few months, he'll be great,

I really don't think Green is a big update on Aminu.
and he is no really got 3 point shoot, like 30%

Jeff Green doesn't do anything great. He's an average player who is getting paid more than Ryan Anderson. Its terrible contract. At least Aminu rebounds and defends well. Green is just average at everything.

If rondo had 5 consecutive trip dubs to start his career here then you'd probably buy some tickets.

I don't agree with the way MM phrases most of his posts but that list certainly not one to attack.

Bargnani and STAT are the two worst and I don't think it's particularly close. JJ is horrendous, but he can at least put up numbers; same with Deron. Green and Perkins are also real bad. Gay and Boozer are about the same level, imo. John Salmons is awful. Rip and Crash are also looking bad.

One to take a closer look at is Kobe. He is getting paid an astronomical amount. He is producing on offense, but is so so bad at playing off-ball defense this year.

For bad contracts that are small enough to not really care about, the Lakers are still paying Duhon.

noo Green has always been way overrated, he's not particularly good at anything and his contract is horrible

What do you guys think off Jeff Green now? I think he is a solid contributor at the 3 and would be willing to give up Lopez and something for him.

Perry Jones is unproven though. I am not sure I want to wait around for him to develop or that OKC would want to part with him either. Jeff Green provides production as well as the young vet leadership. He is also entering his prime. We forget he came back after an open heart surgery so he is not a finished product. Post allstar he is averaging 17.3/ 4.8/2.7/ 1.2blks. Also shooting 44% from deep. Don't forget the monster game against Miami where he put up 43 against Lebron.

I love Jeff Green. Anyone who says he's not am upgrade over Aminu must not watch him . Constantly aggressive, good defender and has Aminu's athleticism with a jump shot. He doesn't look lost when on the court. Just watch him, he's become one of the Celtics 1st scoring options.

We will never go anywhere if we keep adding 19 year olds. If our pick ends like 7-10, I'd trade our pick for Green or Bradley. May even have to throw Gordon in there, which I'd do to get both.

They need a big man so I would rather throw in Lopez and maybe someone like Henry/Thomas or Roberts with the pick for Green. That way we can pursue Bledsoe, Jennings, or Reke in the FA for our point.

Not a fan. Pass.

Also, Bledsoe isn't a FA. He is under contract for 1 more year.

Id love to get jeff green at SF and we can afford him, if we could trade our 2014 pick and lopez for him and draft noel and sign jennings or teague

jennings/teague
gordon
green
davis
noel

this team would be a problem for anyone 2 years down the road.
