Why are any of you trying to figure out how we help them? They aren't even a lock for the playoffs, I'm sure they will get in but WE HAVE AN UNPROTECTED FIRST!!! I for one, don't want to make that pick worse just to get rid of Green!!!!!! You have to really hate Green for this to make sense. Yes, Green absolutely makes them better, how is that a serious question?
For me we have to move Jeff Green above all other goals/missions. Particularly if it's the only deal we can get for Jeff Green, we have to take it.
My feelings are that it's more important to make our team suck as much as possible, rather than give the Clippers 3 or 4 more wins.
Question:
Would you rather 3rd worst this season and have the Clippers finish with the 24th pick, or have the Celtics finish 5th worst and have the Clippers with the 21st pick?
We stink WITH Green, it's not like we can get worse without him... I bet that we hold to our same rates if we do trade Green. Everyone is acting like without Green we will bottom out, what exactly has Green done to help us win games?? I bet if you replace Green with Jae (also opening minutes for Young), we might be a better team 0.0.. we will still lose but we might win a few games we probably wouldn't with Green. No, Jae isn't better than Green but he is different and we have looked better with him in for Green.
Green+5th pick+ 21st from Clips pick (can still trade Green to some other team)
or
5th pick+ 23rd pick from Clips+ a 2nd or 2+ scrubs (who we will have to cut btw)
Which looks better to you?
