Boston, Memphis have been discussing Jeff Green trade for several weeks, sources tell Yahoo. Boston had wanted two firsts until recently

Despite it being impossible for Memphis to give two firsts?

Hey, SOURCES said that!

Man, I take one nap and the floodgates open. 

...more draft picks, no surprise there, and we get Prince to keep Wallace and Nelson company on the Island of Sad Veterans.  Hope this opens up time for Crowder and Young.  Wright doesn't really open minutes for anyone, since we didn't give him too many to begin with.

Assuming Woj meant 2 1st's was Danny's asking price for all Jeff suitors.... Yeah, didn't see that happening.

please tell me prince gets cut and doesn't play a game for us. if I gotta watch this dude play 35 mins. over young i'll riot.

They play different positions and Prince is still a decent defender.  Just let him expire if you have to, otherwise I'm sure the Clippers would love to have him.

If we keep him and play Crowder/Prince at the 3 I honestly think our win % improves.

Take another nap, maybe Danny will finally throw Bass back into the ocean.

Props to Danny for keeping his price high and finally settling for exactly what he wanted all along.  I never lost faith.

Griz definitely trying to trade Tayshaun Prince 4 Jeff Green but it won't be done 2night. "Deal has fallen apart several times," per source.

Dunno who tillery is... but if it's falling apart it's because Boston came very close to getting two 1sts and now they are settling for a pick they probably will not see this decade.

Griz beat writer.

My guess: Ainge wants to bring in a 3rd team to take on Prince somehow, and wind up with a $9 mil TPE.

Feelgood fantasy idea: send the Prince back to the Palace at Auburn Hills.
