I doubt either of them would want to have to play with Green again

  Why? Was he some sort of locker room cancer in OKC? Did they get along poorly on or off the court?

No he was the complete opposite. If I'm correct him and Durant were almost best friends or best friends. Him, Durant and Westbrook were close and had a good friendship. I remember looking at Kevins tweets he was shocked and sad to see Jeff go along with Westbrook. I think Jeff and Durant knew each other and were friends before both hit the NBA.

  So then I'll go with "Westbrook and Durant would both want to play with Green again".

I'm sure Presti will make as many deals with Ainge as Danny is willing to make.  He'll be happy to pick every plum out of our tree.

I dont know of any locker room issues he's ever caused...its more about his inability to play basketball very well.

  So, what, they'd only go to a team where every player was significantly better than Jeff Green? There must be at least 30 nba teams that *aren't* on that list.

Durant is as close to untouchable as an NBA player can be, and I can't see why they would want to move Westbrook after the pivotal role he's played in them making the WCF.

He really came up big in Game 7, along with Durant and Harden.

But he also is the reason they had to go 7 with the Grizz because of his chucking.

His shot selection is definitely questionable at times, but he's still the second best player on the team and a huge reason for their success.
