Celts Jeff Green out for season Ric Bucher @RicBucher Huge blow to Celtics -- Jeff Green set to have heart surgery, out for the season, contract voided. Sucks to be to boston. AND its another heart condition!!!
OMG. Jeff Green with an aortic aneurysm. Will miss season. That is serious stuff. I worked on project with aneurysms in Cleveland Clinic where Green is apparently getting checked out. The implications of a surgical way to treat aneurysms could seriously jeopardize his career going forward.
feel bad for green BUT F-OFF Bill Simmons Bill Simmons @sportsguy33 Best Celtics after Big 4 right now: Jermaine O'Neal, Brandon Bass, Chris Wilcox, Keyon Dooling, Marquis Daniels, JuJuan Johnson. Yeesh.
I feel bad for Green (and, to a lesser extent, the Celtics)... but, man, the Thunder get lucky, don't they? Ed O.
Why cant somebody on OKC ever have a knee injury? That is the luckiest franchise I've ever seen when it comes to health. Not that I want guys hurt but that franchise seems like they have dumb luck.
The Thunder still have some personnel problems. Kendrick Perkins is still not a good player yet. He's so annoying.
Celts have to go for a win now approach, this gives them two starters and they really have no SF right now. With the rumors of Rondo already who knows, but if there is a chance you do it.
Does Rondo make this team a contender? Rondo and Aldridge is a great foundation, but neither of those guys is a Brandon Roy type player.
right now if we did this trade? no, but he's a great piece to add with LMA-Nic-Wes, we still would have good capspace and one more good piece and we'd be there. You aren't going to get to contender status with ONE move it's a "process", one or two good ones with the right extras could however get the job done.
I am starting to develop an irrational hatred for the Thunder. Team "stolen" from the pacific NW. We used to have 3 teams in the I5 corridor. Now just one. The Blazers now have the worst travel disadvantage of any team. The luck of the Oden/Durant draft. They didn't "earn" that pick. They were actually tanking so the fans would fail to show up, so they could move the team. Not so they could draft Durant. And, they didn't pick Durant, the choice was made for them. And, now their health being near perfect the last few years, topped off with dodging the Jeff Green bullet by having traded him for a starting center in the NBA - very rare event in itself being able to trade a wing player for a 7 footer. Man, hate that team.
Well they have a mediocre coach that doesn't understand defense. That's the good part. And the Blazers are no slouches if you stay healthy, hopefully someone knocks them out for us. ^_^
Rondo would eat up a significant part of the cap space. How much would be left over and who would be available? Plus Rondo is supposed to be a primadona.
Green's condition made him a ticking timebomb, could have died at any moment with too much activity. LaMarcus's was never anything more than a slight abnormality that would get worse over time (like, decades), and his surgery was to help him do better when he's 50 or older.
