Should this occur I expect high fives and several rounds of beer at the next draft party. Nobody will be allowed to mention the shitcident again.Welp, that sucked.

It wouldn't be the worst trade they could make, but I don't really like it. At the very least, I'd want another asset back: 2014 first-rounder with little or no protection, or Sullinger. Green just seems like someone who's numbers were inflated during his time with OKC. He's at least statistically better than anyone we have at SF, but I don't believe he's the guy that's going to take you to the next level, and they eat up a lot of flexibility in acquiring him, possibly preventing us from making a move for an actual good SF.
To me, the fact that the Celts waived Joseph is a good indication that they're not discussing a trade with the Raptors: it would be a no-brainer for Colangelo to say, "Hey, let me have your Canadian d-leaguer too. The shlubs up here love that sort of story."

Would you mind elaborating on this a little more? I'm curious as to how paying him $20M to leave and join another team is better than getting a possible starting SF in the deal.
Its trading a bad contract for an equally bad but longer contract. All while giving up the ability to free up that cap space.

Yikes.. I want Bargnani off this team but for Jeff Green? Ugh, no thank-you. I'd rather just amnesty Bargnani and then look for a SF in free agency. Jeff Green will be a very hard salary to move. He has 4 years left after this one and has a loooong way to go before he even becomes as close to the player he was in OKC, and even then he was slightly average. I liked Jeff Green for his potential but he's now 26. Even though he lost a year, most athletes plateau at around 26, and Green has always relied on his athleticism.
I do hope he bounces back, but I wouldn't want to take that gamble that he will.

It might be a case of buying low with Green. OKC traded him because they needed interior toughness in the playoffs, and Perkins had a relatively high asking price at the time. Green was the unfortunate odd man out when compared to Durant, Westbrook, and Harden. But I don't think that's a knock on Green at all. He's versatile/multi-skilled, and could simply need a larger role to take his game to the next level.
If we are certain that Green's medical issues are no longer a concern, I would seriously consider this trade. The only reason I hesitate is the length of his contract.
The other thing to consider is that if we acquire Green, you better believe more moves are coming. Green would be our 6th small forward (with Anderson, Pietrus, Ross, Fields and Kleiza)....i.e. an incredible waste of resources.

Playing behind Paul Peirce and KG, while trying to have any sort of impact, is not an easy thing to do.
And though I'd rather see Thad Young deal, I wouldn't be against trying this out.

"One interesting possibility might be Toronto’s Andrea Bargnani"
That's all he said ... then speculated about what a package might be.
Why I think it's a crap suggestion?
It's rare that you see players traded within the division that were once dubbed 'franchise' pieces. Happened with Vince, but that was a pretty 'special' situation. Not a deciding factor for me personally, but GM's like to send talent far away.
Jeff Green is a mild improvement over a SF group of Anderson, Fields, et al - and paid too much, having never proven a return to OKC form after serous injury.
... I dunno, Alex Kennedy is a smart dude - but he's not saying it's source info, just an idea.The only way to bag a classy lady is to give her two tickets to the gun show... and see if she likes the goods.
