If This Is the Jeff Green We're Getting...

[Redz]

(and I'm not just saying this because he dumped in 25 tonight) You have to pretty excited with what we're seeing from Green this pre-season.  He has been a steady presence, and next to Rondo, their best player this pre-season. 

I'm trying hard not to get too giddy about Green and the whole make up of this team, but the positive upside for both this year, and the future of the Celtics, if the Celts can build on what we've seen from Green, Lee, and Sullinger is looking really high.  Not to mention Bradley.

All said though Green has come out like a man on a mission.

[AB_Celtic]

He just wants to shut Hollinger up as soon as possible

[rondohondo]

we basically traded Perk,JJJ and Moore for Green, Lee and Melo.

Green and Lee are going to be amazing running with Rondo. Danny is the man !

You've murdered Sullinger

But I'm loving Green right now, and I was expecting less from him and was already excited to have him.

LOL    Whoops.  Thanks for catching that.  I'm guilty a Sully generalization.

How's the Perkins trade looking now?

[Redz]

How's the Perkins trade looking now?

Technically Green was a free agent signing.  But yeh.  He's doing a heck of a redemption song (or preamble anyhow).

He would have been a resign if he didn't go down with the heart issue. And if he didn't get traded here there would have been a good chance he wouldn't have come here.

So yeah good trade, and making him want to stay here after everything.

[Neurotic Guy]

Yes, kinda hard not to be a little giddy about Green and Sully.  I leave Lee and JET out of the conversation because they've been known entities and are doing the expected.  I feel like we didn't know what to expect from Green or Sully. 

All this and no Bradley, Wilcox or Barbosa yet.  In fact, all this and no real chemistry yet. Can't wait till this team gets used to playing together...

[Smutzy#9]

Even Kris joseph impressed in garbage time tonight, looks like a poised individual that will be a poor mans jeff green. Fair to say im excited about this year for the celtics if we stay healthy

He played 26 minutes today, so don't see the need to call it garbage time... though I'd argue that the whole game was garbage time

Dont get too giddy. They are going to trade him to Atlanta along with Sullinger and 2 future first round picks for Josh Smith...

God I hope not.

Not a fan of Smith's.

And if they're really interested in him they can wait until he's a free agent.

The best thing about Jeff Green's performance tonight was that he looked comfortable playing the power forward position late in that game.  He did a nice job defensively at the four. 

If we want to have Jeff Green on the floor late in games (which I really believe we do), he'll have to be prepared to play that power forward position well.
