[The Celtics] re-signed Jeff Green for four years, $36 million: Can they amnesty Green yet, or do they have to wait until the games start? Maybe the Celtics are just trying to keep us on our toes and prove they’re capable of screwing up, too. Here’s what we know: Green was a fungible player before he missed last season with a heart problem; guaranteeing him four years (with a player option on the fourth!) at a rate far beyond any rational market level is something we might expect from a couple of the league’s bumbling organizations, but certainly not this one.

I can’t stress this enough: Green is 26 and played four full seasons in the league, and after all that time there’s no evidence he’s actually any good and considerable evidence that he’s a health risk. Yet he’s being paid like a second-tier star. This was, without a doubt, the worst contract of the summer.

and then you trade for him 3 years later and he can use his option to stay :what:

He has a tendency to drift mentally during games, and his decision-making leaves a lot to be desired. For example, tonight the Grizzlies had cut the Warriors' lead to about 3, and with the lane open and Gasol in a mismatch, Green jacked up a contested 3. I don't think they ever recovered. This goes back to his time in Boston. I honestly don't see there being anything controversial about that opinion.

lowest bball iqs in the league? nah, no chance.

he does drift a bit mentally..the flaws he has now are the same flaws he always had...but he played really really well in Boston...he never meshed in Memphis ( i thought he would and i was wrong)..Memphis and Boston were drastically different from one another stylistically this year and its hard to shift like that mid-season. The 3 before the Curry bomb was questionable but he did get fouled. Shoulda been at the line for 3..the end result of that play makes it look dumber than it actually was at the time in which he made the decision.
