At some point you have to realize the Pelicans are ass. Why not let go of a guy who clearly won’t resign and give Springer a chance to spread his wings. In this trade the Celtics grab an amazing “do his job” SF in Javonte Green in hopes of him helping them in a shot to repeat. Javonte Green might not get a lot of Pt, but he is a serviceable SG/SF who will help off the bench and can be a reliable option if an injury occurs. The Celtics give up Jaden Springer and a 2031 2nd which wouldn’t hurt the team at all.
