BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS: If you've been living under a rock, sit tight because this is something: the Brooklyn Nets traded for James Harden, built a whopping Big-3, and sent Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince packing to Cleveland. You might wonder why did I include Allen and Prince in there. Well, with those out of town, the Nets are down to DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green when it comes to interior men. That's it, so odds are Green sees a boost in minutes and opportunities.
The addition of Harden is not going to change things a lot but is definitely going to remove a former starter (seemingly Green) from the equation. The starters should be Kyrie/Harden/Harris/Durant/C. That means that the center position will most probably go DAJ's way, with Green playing off the bench. Even then, Jordan hasn't looked too good this season, averaging a low 4-7 line on the season and being benched in favor of Allen in all games except one starting Jan. 5th.
Green, on the other hand, was put on the starting lineup from Jan. 5th to Jan. 13th at the PF position averaging 8 PPG, 4.1 RPG, and 1.3 APG while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor. The thing about Green is that we have yet to see the Nets in action and which role Green/Jordan play along with the Big-3. If you have room to add Green to your squad, you better do and drop him later if he doesn't get any sound playing time. There will always be time for that, but you might be getting a monster addition for the price of nothing.
