  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Souza quoting Danny, explaining that Ainge is of the opinion that it's pretty much a done deal.

To be clear, Danny Ainge spoke as if Jeff Green will almost certainly sign at end of moratorium so essentially he's back with #Celtics.

#Celtics president Danny Ainge: We intend to have Jeff Green back. We are looking to enter a contract at the end of the moratorium.


Situation almost seems like Green has decided he will pretty much take anything 6 million or over from the C's and will let them get their other free agents before signing him.
Great news going forward.
Also KG has reportedly already phoned Melo and told him to be ready to go. So awesome.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

So much more excited about the Melo pick now that KG is returning. Perfect mentor for the kid, I can really see him developing into an NBA center.

Can't link on my iPhone but looks like green is looking for 9 mil.  That's too much especially is more than one year.  Plus, da has to find a way to keep the full mid level.

  It may have been a typo, but there was an article in the Herald that said the contract that we voided was a 4 year deal starting at $9M.

Definitely a typo, it was always reported as a one year deal at the time.

Without looking, I'm going to guess Mark Murphy.
