I would like to see what he does/how he fits in the Celtics system. Looks like he has a lot to learn.

true. but I think a.) Whatever contract he gets this offseason is going to be mostly based on what he can do versus what he's already done. b.) Is kind of a foregone conclusion - DA was afraid to lose Perk for nothing, it's doubtful he wouldn't bring him back.

It is tough to say not knowing the new CBA.  But if we were working under the old CBA, I think he would be in line for a deal similar to Marvin Williams' ($7-9 million per year).

Amazing to me that Jeff Green is worth $7-9 million per year. Just amazing.

Why?  He is a heck of a player.  I know we haven't seen much so far, but he has a chance to be a tremendous player in this league, now that he isn't playing out of position.

With Pierce on the roster:  not worth the cap space.

I find all the posts about Green being the future hilarious.  We weren't gonna sign Perk what makes people think we're gonna mess up our 2012 free agency for this kid?

Pierce is 32, he's certainly not the future at this point. Green is 24, he's athletic and can run with Rondo. And newsflash, we're gonna need pieces in place to lure a big free agent in 2012 other than just Rondo.

Also, the main reason we weren't gonna sign Perk is because Danny's targeting Dwight Howard - a center - in 2012.

I don't think Jeff Green is talented enough to sway anyone into signing here.

(my expectations are for him to be a 12-14ppg scorer at SF with above average defense and solid rebounding)

Well, I guess your thoughts on his value fall in line with your expectations of him.

From my perspective, I see a young guy who can score the ball (he's better in the post, with his back to the basket than I expected) who played out of position in OKC. It seems that he's a natural small forward who can play effective at power forward for short stretches - but it wasn't possible for him to do that because no one is gonna play him over Kevin Durant.

He's always had nice potential, and I think he has a fresh start here in Boston. Is he "the" future? Probably not. But he can be a nice complimentary piece moving forward.
