[Surferdad]

Trade Nesmith for Javonte Green, currently with Chicago.

geez. nesmith certainly is not being seen as very good by the celtics front office is this is accurate.

too bad. nesmith has great hustle, rebounds very well. but he was supposed to be a great 3 point shooter. has PBS decided he wont ever become that?

when the celtics picked him at 14 i wasnt thrilled, but i could see their thinking. i was hoping he would play an important role for the team.

[cons]

i just threw up in my mouth a little

i know jeff green is a good guy and a good player

but i still hate him after we traded perk for him!
 that killed our chances that year and he did nothing to help us that season.

so no thx on part 2

Schroeder for Green and a 2nd would be an alright trade but it’s hard for me to see Ime finding minutes for Green with AL at the 4 along with Grant.

Ideally this would help eliminate the two-big lineup.

This does nothing Long Term for the C's.  If they move Dennis it needs to gain an asset to use in a bigger trade.  All Green does is gives them an inconsistent vet who shoots ok but will most likely be gone after this year same as Schroeder.  The C's needs picks or a young player  like Jalen Smith if a deal like that would work for a team wanting to win it all.

Ha, ha.  I was making a joke by changing Jeff to Javonte.  So it isn't the FO that isn't thrilled, it's me.

More likely the Cs dump one of the bigs at the end of the bench for cap purposes. Green's better than either of them.

Why would Chicago do that?

This does not have to be mutually exclusive.

Schroeder and Fernando
for
Jeff Green and Campazzo

A straight Schroeder for Green swap would be too much of a win for Denver so they need to even things out some.  Campazzo would be more useful than Fernando so that would help us.

With Green, he would play PF/Swing like Grant Williams and Horford and Williams would primarily play C.  I think Green is better than Grant Williams so it would be an upgrade.

We are probably better for this but not much at best.  Not sure it is worth it but the team needs something so maybe it is good to give this a try.

So we get another SF in our already jammed position

Green hasn’t been a SF in years.  He’s been a PF or small-ball center for at least 5 seasons.

  Jeff Green is perfect for this team. His inconsistent effort will fit right in.

kind of stuff you see bad franchises do
