#10- Jeff Green (UFA)

Jeff Green would be an excellent fit for this Denver squad.

His stats were mediocre for him since he once averaged 17.9 points per game with the Celtics, but a trip to the Mile High City could revive him yet again.

With Darrell Arthur declining his player option, the Denver Nuggets now have a choice. Do we sign another PF or just move Gallo to PF and sign a new SF. Well obviously this strategy has then signing a new SF and moving Gallo which could be preferred in a 3-point shooting NBA-era.

At 26.3 minutes per game, LA Clippers severely underused the talents of Jeff Green. Jeff Green still has 3-4 quality NBA years left and hopefully Denver can lure him in for a four-year deal. Signing a player like Green should be a top priority for the Denver Nuggets.

For the right price, Green could make the trip to Denver to not only give a veteran presence, but also be a long to fix if Gallinari decides to leave next summer.
