No one likes Jeff Green. Not anymore. He probably had some fans when he was on the Thunder/Sonics, and maybe a few when he was Boston, but those stints were a long time ago. Any of the potential he had when he was drafted 5th overall is gone, dried up under the withering desert sun of mediocrity.

Green scoring 20 is only notable because it’s his best game so far for the Magic, a team that gave him fifteen million dollars, FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS, to shoot 37 percent from the field and offer “veteran leadership”.

At least it’s only a 1-year deal, otherwise we’d be talking about “the worst contract” instead “one of the worst contracts”. Anyone else getting Ben Gordon on the Magic flashbacks? Oh god.
