Any video?

What's player's name defending him? How tall is the player defending him


Well if he actually lost the defender (he didn't IMO) I'd consider it a nice move...I dunno he actually looks kind of tall...I don't think its a move than can be done against taller quicker more athletic nba defenders or is anything close to unstoppable/uncontestable though. Maybe I'm just drinking haterade.


He froze the defender with the dribble, quickness, and hesitation move. That's why he had an open look.

When you find video of players who can execute that move, you'll see those are all elite talent/athleticism guys.

Green is a top 5 athlete in the NBA right now, always was.

Who are the taller quicker players than Green?

Players can contest, but he can get an open look for himself.

When a player can do that all the defender can do is hope he'll miss.

Definitely drinking haterade...

1. Green is EASILY one of the MOST athletic guys at his position so the issue of speed and agility isn't a problem.

2. He is also listed as 6'7-6'8 which is pretty much a median height for SF....he has EVERYTHING physically and talentwise you could ask for from his position. His only issue ever has been his attitude and although a very small sample size from recent interviews and HLs of his play he doesn't seem to come accross with the same brash street arrogance he once had. That's why he would come at such an amazing BARGAIN.

As everyone else is stating playing D-League and in China surely should of HUMBLED him and if it didn't who cares then we waive him and he's gone for good. But he can be an absolute STEAL at this point because if his attitude is corrected he could be very hungry to prove that he belongs back in the league. He had maturity issues not unlike Zach Randolph but the difference is Zach got PT and finally found the right situation that wasn't toxic...there's nothing toxic about our franchise and his experience of being out of the league should only serve to make that even easier and likely to be humbled.

Again I say we start a petition to sign Green to Colangelo and I'm not joking...I just lack the know how to create one on-line and how he would see it.

He has the potential to be that good.

Signing someone like GG would give DD the push to play better and for the first time in a long while it'd be someone actually capable of relegating him to a bench role with good play.

I'm much higher on GG than I am DD, I hope we sign him.

The FIRE BC movement is about 3 years too late but congrats on finally recognizing he sucks.

Green has the tools to be a good player but for some reason he thinks he's the next Kobe, VC, T-Mac...etc If there was a way he would want to come here next year at a backup role like Weems' then I would take a risk on him.

I mean he can't be worse then Butler that guy needs to go and now how do you not inbound the ball in 5 seconds it's not like your a rookie, your a veteran you should know the basics by now.

Gerald Green is terrible. Stay away. Trust me..........unless Casey's playbook consists of their 2 guard standing in one spot for 24 seconds. Gerald would be the perfect fit in that offense.

He said he had a count of 4, actual count was reported at 5.8. I guess he was counting like Jack on the broadcast 1...... (3 seconds later) 2, (2 seconds later) 3.....4.....5........WTF man?!?

Either sign GG or Money Weems back because right now DeMar's getting no competition since Gary Forbes is in the doghouse for whatever reason.

Not my opinion.

There is lots of video evidence that shows his game has evolved.

Question, what is the concern about his attitude? Did he do something wrong off the court? Or is it a Rashad McCants type of thing?

Well right now I have Kleiza and James Johnson still as our 3's next year unless a trade goes down where Kleiza is shipped out. Then you have a possible draft pick to consider at the SF spot as well (Barnes/Kidd-Gillchrist) so I just don't see how Green would want to come here unless everybody passes on him and can be a backup SG.

Does he have a choice? Only if he'd rather stay in China...

Wouldn't mind him on the cheap in a Weems role. He's better than Butler anyways so if you're gonna take chances, might as well be on him.

He looked like absolute garbage with the Lakers in the pre-season and their wings are as bad as ours.

If Gerald Green had any talent let alone TMAC type of game, 30 teams would have rushed to sign him... Gerald Green is scrub period.
