I think your missing the point all together. Basically what Boston is asking Green to do is to work his ass off so they can fire him. It is like your boss coming to you saying I want to have your best quarter ever so I can sell this **** company and you can get laid off.
This isn't a situation where Ainge is committing to Jeff for the rest of the season, he basically committed to him through the holidays. He isn't trying to trade Jeff to the best situation for Jeff he is trying to trade him for the best return for the Celtics.
This is Ainge's mess and he has probably sealed Brad Stevens fate as a coach.
Yeah but Green is not really getting fired. To me it's more like “Yeah we are going move you to a different department, you may not like where you’re going but its only for 3 or 4 months and you will be getting your full salary. If you like it there you can stay for another year and keep getting paid. If you don’t you can leave and there are several departments that will be interested in you.”
It would be relocate not another dept and how would your job performance likely be while you waited to be relocated?
I'm not missing the point at all, you missed it from the start. The point should be: Why is Jeff Green dogging it in a contract year? Or why has he been dogging it since Rondo was traded?
If you or I get fired, we don't get paid. But if I'm worth a damn as a sales person I probably have some stock-option benefit in my agreement so I benefit from said sale of company. Stock options are my benefit, securing a long term, high-dollar contract is Green's.
Green is playing his way out of more guaranteed money. To me, that's baffling. It's the opposite of what most athlete's do. And I think that's because he's content already in life. I don't think he cares whether he gets 12mm per or 8mm per because regardless it's going to be MILLLIONS.
That's a guy I don't want on my team.
