He plays with little to no passion.  If he played with 50 percent of the passions/physical play that Gerald Wallace does, he could potentially be a top 5 SF in the league

He stands around , rarely cuts to the basket or runs around to get free. He doesn't make his man work

Danny has to trade Green in this trade deadline or before next season. I rather draft and take my chances with Gordon, Grant, Walker, Warren , even Mcdermott (if we don't get wiggins/parker) would be better for next year.

So u want to trade a player you think sucks?  Big surprise.  And let me guess.  You want to get something back that doesn't suck.

I have to agree. Just a very ordinary player who is overpaid and unlikely to get much return in a trade.

You've touched on something that frustrates me most about Jeff - he really doesn't move off the ball. I'm not asking him to be Ray Allen-esque or JJ Redick-like. But he could be one of the better cutters in the league, but he just camps out in the corner.

At this point i don't care much of a return. Just an expiring contract + a prospect and/or a pick (2nd round). Honestly if it just an expiring contract, i would hit the yes button right now and bring up Osby.

Stevens is stuck playing him bc of his skills/physical tools and just good enough to get by play. 

The guy plays kind of like Mark Blount after he got his contract. He doesn't dive for the ball, take a hit in the face to get the job done, nothing. Plays like a pretty boy

Let's all send emails to DA and voice our concerns. That should do the trick.  ;)

Many are. Something now has to be done. Danny should be actively looking to trade him. Make it public. Get Green to play harder and trade him for more

tired of how he plays. Its lazy, i don't care to win basketball.

He stands around a LOT.  Infuriates me a lot.  He should've been traded long time ago

I'm not disappointed because I never liked him from the beginning. I was in favor of keeping Perk, I was not in favor of giving him a 4yr 40 mil dollar deal after he had been out of the league for a year.

The sooner he's off the team the better, as terrible as Wallace has been this year at least he looks like he cares when he plays, I'd start him over Green for a game or two to send Green a message.

he is one of those players that is so frustrating to watch because he has all the psychical talent and gifts but he just doesn't give 100% all the time. he disappears for not quarters at a time but full half's.

you see players with only a fraction of the physical gifts who put in more effort and well they dont play as well as he can they at least play hard each and every quarter.

If Jeff Gren played with Presseys heart ........he d be on the All Star team and top 20 player

He has no drive ........similar to Dwight Howard ......all the gifts and really seems uninterested  ....no heart to battle every night

He is amazingly lazy. Watch him when it's time to take the ball out of bounds and he's the man throwing it in. He will walk like he has no where to go to the designated spot like he's doing the team a favor.  I guarantee that's who GW was talking about during his latest rant. Green is a sometimes player, when he feels like playing he plays.  It drives me mad. If we can get someone even decent for him I'd trade him in a heart beat!

+ 1. I rarely see him ever huffing and puffing. He is always mr cool out there

I sometimes wish an opponent would start something with him so it can start him up. No self drive
