  • You say when......
Jet Green could become a LOT better...a lot more consistant....he IS just one season back from MAJOR surgery....he has plenty of talent and ability to become VERY good...sometimes he looks like James Worthy....sometimes he looks like he is not Worthy......another year more..he can be great, or almost a star....he has the potential......and is bringing it sometimes..!

If we could get Josh Smith as part of a Jeff Green trade, I would do it in a heartbeat.

The thing with Josh smith is that I wouldn't want to pay him near max money at all.

I think thats what he's looking for and I think that would be one of the worst decisions ever for us to make. Besides him not being good enough to earn that i just don't like his mental capacity that much either. He's not tough. Didn't he sit out the end of a playoff game last year and then miss the next one for what seemed like a minor injury? I mean he came back and played a game later but still kind of embarrassing if you ask me

Me too.

While I think Green is going to improve, our window doesn't allow us to wait for that. We need help now, and Smith gives us the rebounding and rim protection we need now.

Since this isn't in a vaccuum I'm assuming both of you would extend him the full max which he reportedly is asking for?

Or would you just want him for a rental this season?

If you are talking in a vaccum I'll take Smith but when you factor in paying him a max contract I think it's a no brainer that you can't do that.

Green is still recovering from heart surgery.

So yes. He can still be better.

I think he will improve, maybe stats slightly ,    but he is starting to become a better all around contributor ,  I hope this continues,   he seems truly happy as a Celtic,   hope he sticks.........if not I could live with Smith, always liked his game too.

I have always said that Jeff Green has the capability to be one of the top SF's in the league and be in the same class as LeBron, Durant, Carmelo and I will continue to say that.

I would love it if we can have Smith without giving up Green, but I guess that is very very unlikely.

Although, that's the best thing that can happen.

Or maybe he is purposely asking for a max, knowing that the hawks won't give it, so he can go to the Celtics and not get the crazy criticism that LeBron received?

Just something to think about...

I would trade him for Josh in a heartbeat.  All you have to do is take a loook at that stat.  Big difference.

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my
 blood would’ve been green.  -  Bill "Greatest of All Time" Russell

lebron got criticism for making a tv show about his exit, not because of his exit.

Can we get Josh Smith without trading Jeff Green? I don't want to trade Jeff Green considering  how much investment the Celtics put on him.

The celebration afterwards where he wade and bosh we're on stage brought the most "heat".
