I would take Tony, and I think Danny made a mistake this off-season sticking with Marquis and not paying Tony.  That said, I think Tony wanted a starting gig somewhere and he probably wanted to be out of our price range. 

Jeff Green has the talent to be better than Tony but he clearly isn't utilizing it effectively.

I think it is unfair to compare the two because Tony was on the Celtics and knew the system for much longer than Jeff Green has been in green.

I would rather have Jeff though. Much higher basketball IQ, even if he is passive. More athletic. He makes intelligent plays with the ball, knows when he has a mismatch and could significantly affect the game if he wanted to. I still feel like Doc is using them wrong. If he went to a team like the Spurs he could probably flourish.

I don't think Tony could do that...but he has worked well for Memphis so maybe I'm wrong?

Jeff Green, of course because he protects and shoots the ball much better than TA.

TA has made a lot of turnovers during crucial matches and plays and eventually destroyed several game flows. He could have been ok had he developed a consistent jumpshot and 3-point range. And I agree that he could have been starting over Ray to jumpstart some games due to his and Rondo's quickness. Ray coming from the bench could have made him much more productive since he would be coming in with fresh legs.

However, there is a glaring clarity that Jeff has the superior height, talent, skill, athleticism and youth over TA. He too does create mismatches at SF and can fit PF when small ball is at play. His defense though is work in progress. Even Larry Bird is a big fan of him.

Tony, and I was a Tony "hater".  However, Tony fit into this team, and thus far, Jeff Green hasn't.  Tony was a decent rebounder and penetrator, and a very good defender.  He was extremely frustrating, but at least he impacted games on most nights (whether that impact was positive or negative was another matter entirely.)

That being said, I don't know what happened with the negotiations.  Danny says it wasn't about money, and Tony said he wanted a bigger role.  If Danny had been more aggressive earlier maybe things would have been different, but without more information I have to take Tony at face value.

Revisionist history here.

First of all, if Allen is considered a "decent" rebounder, than Green should be considered  a good rebounder, considering Green's career rebound rate is 9.4 and Allen's is 8.3. This season, Green is at 8.5 and Allen is at 7.7.

Secondly, Allen never fit in with this team. Yes, he was a good defender. But offensively, his decision-making was so poor that it hurt the team more than he helped. He was a terrible shooter and ball-handler.

They are 2 different types of players; if you misuse them, none will do the work. Blame Doc; he either loves some players or completely buries them in the Neverland. And it has nothing to do with what they can do. See BBD. We won in 2008 in spite of Doc. We will never win again with him at the Helm.

I could agree with you but I have reservations until the playoffs is over.

Tony Allen all day every day.

I'm not a big fan of TA. But he did fit this team. And Green isn't going to fit this team.
