When I started this post I was the first pass. Slow typer I guess. I think Green is a much better player than he's being given credit for. I don't want to take on a bigger contract for a player who can't rebound and doesn't like contact. We have one of those in Green. The difference is that Green is more athletic, is on a smaller contract and already knows a lot of our system. Oh and Bargs is playing pretty badly this season. 40% FG and 16pts on 15 shots. Add in he can't play a lick of defense and I'm passing.
I'd trade Green, but I'm not making lateral moves like this. This is very similar to trading Courtney Lee for C.J. Miles. Or Jason Collins for Andris Biedrins. Same medicine with slightly worse side-effects.
This trade might be worth our while:
