Whether or not Jeff Green has made fans of the team he plays for happy has traditionally been determined nearly 100% by the expectations they place on him.
For Seattle SuperSonics fans, Jeff Green wasn’t enough. They traded Ray Allen, perhaps their best ever player, for the chance to draft Green. While he scored some, in general, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook surpassed Green very quickly in their minds.
Then he was traded to the Celtics in exchange for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson. From a Celtics fan perspective, Perkins was an integral part of their championship winning team in 2009, and many of their fans believed that the only reason they lost in 2010 was Perkins’ injury.
