If just for the rest of the season, it would be no. But if they could keep him, there is no hesitation. Green as well as he has played will not get much better because he is limited both physically, his shooting and his rebounding. I doubt that Presti would do it because of the effects on the younger players that are bonded here. Not Ibaka. His upside is enormous and would start next year.

And as far out as this might seem, Mullens might be a very tough center in a year or two. Who knows what the off season will bring as teams try to keep down payrolls.

[...] Darnell Mayberry’s reaction: “The problem is, trading for Bosh now doesn’t guarantee he’ll be around in the future. Acquiring Bosh would be a big-time risk that could blow up in July if he decides to bolt for, say, the beaches of Miami or Broadway in New York. The Thunder will have then traded valuable assets for nothing. It’s that risk that partially explains why Phoenix was unable to move Amar’e Stoudemire last season after all the fuss and trade rumors regarding where he’d land.” Share: [...]

I agree that we need to skip the trade stuff and just make a push to get him this summer. If he chooses to go elsewhere then that’s life, but I think we owe it to ourselves to at least give it a shot and I hope Presti feels the same way. We’re not gonna beat Dallas, Houston, New York, or Miami in a popularity contest, but we have plenty to offer and this team is on the rise. We just need to add the right pieces to get us to the next level. And I have no doubts that if we could just get him here he would want to stay. But getting him here is the hard part. It’s a longshot, but still a move that we need to be willing to try. If we could throw some serious persuasion his way, who knows….he might be just as intrigued by the idea as anybody else.

I don’t understand why everyone is so protective of Green…he really hasn’t been all that good of a player. His PER is below average, his plus-minus is dreadful and he’s playing out of position. He’s a natural 3, but with Durant there, he’ll see 10 minutes a game max at his true position, leading him to be an outgunned power forward who doesn’t grab enough rebounds, defend 4s well enough or score inside. All of those things are things Bosh can give you. He’s the piece that makes OKC a title contender.

I believe we wouldn’t trade Green for Bosh (et al). Don’t get me wrong; Bosh is the perfect complement for the Thunder. But wait until the summer. If Bosh resigns…oh well, we sign another PF. But if Bosh leaves the Raptors, we will make the best offer available. But trading for him before the deadline with Green leaves too much at risk. And Durant and Green are friends–they both grew up in the same city (DC).

I’d really like to have Bosh join the Thunder. I think Green could sub Durant, but don’t think the Thunder could pay Green, Durant, Bosh, Westbrook, and Harden their worth in the next few years. As far as trading for Bosh, we could trade our 3 expirings, Thomas, Ollie, and Harpring giving them a C/PF, a PG, and a big chance at the sweepstakes next summer.
