He can rebound, post up, defend, and slash to the paint. He is a legit 6'9" player that could increase our length specifically with Carmelo, KP and Rolo. I like WIllIams, but this dude is more basketball ready than Williams. This dude was expected to be the player Westbrook is currently with Durant. We need a talent like Jeff Green to play the Pippen/Odoms role in this archaic triangle
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Hellz no J.Green should not be our starting SG. Geesh the guy goes on a 5/6 game run and now you want him as our starting SG but the guy has been just as inconsistent as AA his entire career.

They really REALLY need a PG - as Jose showed tonight - if they have an aggresive PG they can be quite good.
I do think Evan Turner could be a Triangle PG - he was a PG coming out of college.
OJ Mayo would also be a decent Triangle guard.
Teague and Green will do just fine. Green has been used mostly as a PF which he is not. He would fit well in the triangle because he is a high IQ guy who is as versatile as they come

A really think Green is like a super Lance Thomas. He could guard the 2/3/4, but his most natural position is probably the 3.
If there's a way to get Teague, I'd love it, but it'd have to be a trade. I don't think he's a free agent til 2017.

So obviously both Turner and Green could help us but people need to remember that both of these guys have been very inconsistent players their entire careers and not forget that it's not a coincidence that both of them are all of a sudden playing their best basketball of the season for the last two weeks or so because both are URFA's at the end of the year and the trade deadline is right around the corner so both have stepped up their games. So do we want guys that only step their games up when it's the right time for them to?? Anyone that's paid attention knows how both of these guys will just disappear for weeks at a time during the season. Again both would be upgrades but it would have to be the right contracts for both and we'd have to be wanting them for bench roles unless we can get another significant piece and then add one of them to play a smaller role.

Now this i could definitely go for. If we added Teague then i would love to get either one of Turner or Green but i just wouldn't want Turner or Green to be the one significant piece added.

Knicks should really push for a trade to get Teague. And go Hard after Green in the summer. Green can replace both Williams and Aflalo. He is as athletic as Williams, but a much more complete baller than both Williams and Aflalo
