Celtics hopeful on Allen, Green " NBA.com | Hang Time Blog Meanwhile, the Celtics believe they're "close," as one source put it, to reaching agreement on a new deal with Green, who missed all of last season after undergoing open-heart surgery in December to repair an aortic aneurysm. The team had initially reached agreement with Green on a one-year deal before the season began, but once his condition was detected during a preseason physical the team rescinded the contract, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Green struggled in his first half year with the Celtics, but there were a lot of factors at play there, including learning a new system on the fly after the mid-season trade.
