Green eyes future with Celtics

Three months after the end of his season, Jeff Green(notes) can admit what had become obvious to him and anyone else watching the Boston Celtics in the playoffs: He never truly found his comfort level after a midseason trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Green wouldn’t mind a chance to redeem himself with the Celtics next season after the lockout ends. But as a restricted free agent, it’s uncertain whether he will get that chance in Boston or have to adjust to his third team in two seasons.

“They’ve been together for a number of years,” Green said of the Celtics. “They’ve already won a championship, they’ve already have a system, they already have their chemistry and that bond on that team.

“It was tough to go into that situation.”
