If he weren't injured I would say Semi and a future pick

You could have two uninjured Semis and two future picks and they still probably say no.

Yeah it's lowball offer but I think people here are overvaluing Jeff Green. He is not a starting PF or SF in this league. If they are looking for a C in exchange they can't expect a starting caliber one.


He is the starting F on a team that is 33-18, leading their division.


As a starting F, he is averaging 15 points a game. 


And that is while starting out of position.  The only reason he is a PF is because they have Durrant.  On most any other team, he is a starting SF. 

  He scores about as well as BBD but doesn't rebound as well.

Put him as a SF on a team that does not have two of the biggest volume scorers in the league, and I think he would be a much bigger scorer.  He also is a very good defender, particularly against SFs.

Green is a heck of a player who has been underutilized in OKC because they have been playing him out of position.  If he is allowed to play his position, I think he is probably a second tier starter in the league.  Not quite an All-star, but a very good all around player.

I think Green is a Tayshaun Prince level SF. Good all-round player and a very good defender.

I think OKC will refuse to give Jeff Green more than $40 million this summer and will try to get him on an MLE level contract.

If some team comes in and makes him a more attractive offer, I think OKC will let Green leave ... and rightly so.

  He's not much of an outside shooter. I don't think he'd be that much better than average if he was at all.

OK, perhaps he would be an average starting SF in the NBA.  But Big Baby would be a below average starting PF in the NBA.

  Ok, but they'd both probably be below average PFs and I don't think Green will pull in a star big man in a trade.

It would take Perkins to get JGreen.  Nobody on our roster is valuable to the Thunder.  The C's aren't about to give up Perkins before our playoff run.

Extra post just to get rid of that post count before we play LA.  Sorry for being slightly superstitious (I know you guys aren't that way at all).

Why would any team give up a "star big" for Jeff Green? SF are a dime a dozen, legit centers are not. They also don't need a star center, they have enough star potential on that team already. I think they'd love a guy like Perk--someone who has legit size, doesn't need to score to be involved, plays solid defense and can rebound, block a shot or two. That sounds exactly like Perk. Problem is, Perk isn't going to play for less than 7-8 mil/yr either.

There is a few steps between Davis and star big man.
