If and when Jeff Green returns to the NBA -- and the encouraging news heading
into his heart surgery next week is that he likely will -- he will have
plenty of choices as to his next employer.

That's because the Boston Celtics, in a move that was not made public,
withdrew Green's qualifying offer in mid-December, right around the time he
failed his physical and had his one-year, $9 million contract voided. The
move means Green is now an unrestricted free agent. Had the offer not been
withdrawn, and the Celtics were under no obligation whatsoever to do so,
Green would have been a restricted free agent, with the Celtics able to match
any offer he might get from another team.

Asked about the decision on Friday, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge,
citing Green's impending surgery, said he preferred not to discuss the
matter. He did confirm it, however. It may have been nothing more than a
goodwill gesture on the part of the Celtics to Green and his agent, David
Falk, who said the team has been "phenomenal" in handling the situation.

"It was not something we expected or bargained for, but coming as it did
after such devastating medical news it was almost like an early Christmas
present," Falk said.

Falk added that the new collective bargaining agreement rules also may have
played a part in the Celtics' thinking as well.

Green is scheduled to have heart surgery Monday at the Cleveland Clinic to
treat an aortic aneurysm that was detected in his physical exam. Doctors have
given Green a promising prognosis and have indicated that the surgery should
allow him to resume basketball, but not until next season.

Theoretically, any team could sign him right now, with the understanding that
he would not be available until next season at the earliest. But if no team
steps up between now and July 1, Green would join a free-agent class that
could include Dwight Howard and Deron Williams, as well as (former) teammates
Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett.

From the Celtics' point of view, the withdrawal of the qualifying offer is a
bit of a gamble in that it could lead to the departure of the most
significant piece of February's trade that sent Kendrick Perkins to Oklahoma
City. That would leave the Celtics with nothing to show from the deal, save
for a first-round draft pick that belongs to the Clippers and is protected
over the next few years.

Then again, Green's NBA future, at present, is murky. And the change in his
free-agent status puts Green in the same contractual position he would have
been in had he been able to play out this season. Both sides knew that not
only would Green be an unrestricted free agent next summer by taking the
one-year offer, they also knew he could not be traded without his permission.

Also, the Celtics will still be able to offer Green a longer, more lucrative
deal than any other team, either to re-sign him or sign him as part of a
sign-and-trade deal, which is what they did last month with Glen Davis.

Prior to the startling discovery of the aneurysm, Green was planning on
playing a big role for the 2011-12 Celtics. The team was hoping they'd see a
more confident, assertive player who, with the benefit of a brief training
camp, would be more comfortable. Green even showed up early to watch film and
was ready to go once camp opened. But the red flag from his physical forced
him to the sidelines for the first few workouts and, after a second
consultation, the aneurysm diagnosis was confirmed and a surgery date set.

Despite the Celtics' voiding of the contract, Green still has been around the
team. He was with them for the first road trip in New York and Miami and also
joined them in Washington, which is where he went to college. He has talked
of being relieved that his situation was discovered when it was, and that he
will be able to continue playing in the NBA.

Falk said Green is planning to spend the entire spring in Boston to be around
the Celtics after he recovers from Monday's surgery.

大意:

Celtics撤銷了Green的報價合同,Green變成了完全自由球員
上個球季和雷霆的交易變的毫無意義了

不過Green在下週手術完成後 整個春天會和Celtics待在一起

→ TT123       :如果他真的值超過6M，別人也會出價...要是他手術後
推 PikaRen     :Ainge這季會開9M給他 應該就是行情使然了
→ PikaRen     :手術後行情會掉 但對我來說開到7M就覺得overpaid了
→ PikaRen     :畢竟他尚未證明的東西還太多
→ bhgkai      :不健康的球員是沒法成為核心的 要看開啦
→ TT123       :Ainge已經在做傷害控管了...虧是一定要虧的，再浪費
→ TT123       :一張QO有什麼意義呢?...
→ TT123       :他之後還是會隨隊復健，證明雙方的關系沒什麼問題
推 wadekao     :他不會跑的啦
→ TT123       :要是他復健良好，Ainge還是可以開比其它球更好的合約
→ TT123       :如果他狀況不優的話，Ainge還可以考慮給他一紙低薪合
推 PikaRen     :其他有空間的球隊也能開大約吧?
→ TT123       :約隨隊慢慢復健起來...
→ TT123       :假設他值大約的情況下，我們有鳥權，仍然可以給最多
→ PikaRen     :理論上來說只要別隊開出更優渥的條件就可以走人了XD
→ PikaRen     :以他的年資來看 頂薪是14M左右的樣子
→ PikaRen     :這應該是有空間的球隊就能開的
→ PikaRen     :所以鳥權應該不算太大優勢 再說我們本來就有空間
→ TT123       :鳥權除了金額之外，還有合約長度優勢...
→ TT123       :而且他少打一年，還有人會出超過10M是不太可能吧
