Restricted free agent Jeff Green is seeking a long-term contract from the Celtics.

"Jeff has a desire to be in Boston," Green’s agent, David Falk said. "Boston has a need. I hope Danny and I can come up with a creative way to reach an agreement.

"Their ability to protect his value depends on his ability to make a multiyear deal," Falk said.

Green, playing for Boston after being acquired for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson at last season’s deadline, averaged 9.8 points and 3.3 rebounds over 26 games with the Celtics.

"I think Jeff feels like he has unfinished business in Boston," Falk said. "I’m not sure the people in Boston have seen the real Jeff Green."
