*Swish* Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 A number of teams are interested in Thunder forward Jeff Green, according to ESPN.com's Jeff Green. "He's got a lot of value. A number of teams are interested. The Thunder are going to need a big man though ... that's what they're hunting for. There aren't a lot of them available right now," Ford wrote in a chat. http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/36925 I also don't think the Thunder should deal him. He's been an important key player to the Thunder's success even though Durant and Westbrook are way more overlooked than Jeff. OKC should definitely keep the trio power line-up (Durant, Westbrook and Green) and try to add a better center than Kristic or Collison. But I'm definitely not surprised seeing teams are interested in Green. He's a really good player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 If they can get a good big man for him they should definitely pull the trigger, develop Harden into the starting SG. It just fits better really, or trade Harden for a big and play Durant at the 2 I guess. I just would opt to deal Green because he is going to command a lot more than he is probably worth this summer. I think Harden has a good chance to be the better player as well. Green really isn't that good, he isn't an above average rebounder, isn't a versatile scorer and shoots a low percentage, and is a mediocre defender, so if there is good value for him in terms of a big, pull the trigger, even if it means you add an Aldrich or picks. I like a line-up of Good Big/Ibaka/Durant/Harden/Westbrook moving forward a lot more than a team with Jeff Green as the PF or Durant as the SG or with Kristic as your starting C. I don't really like using the PER thing that much, but Demar Derozan has a higher PER than Green lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 There's a Jeff Green in ESPN? He is that missing piece in so many teams. He can fill in as the SF or PF of a good team, or as a sixth man in a very, very good team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moeroadkill Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 i wouldnt mind trading green + harden if its for a good big green will probably remain with us though i dont see anything happening anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truth Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 i wouldnt mind trading green + harden if its for a good bigyou shouldn't want to trade Harden. he has a ridiculous amount of potential. I could see OKC trading Green and an expiring contract like Kristic for a legitimate center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
