Too bad Mavs couldn't swing a deal for Gerald Green...

For a 2nd rounder, Kirk Snyder, & cash...
I would have loved to see him on the court with Kidd.

Oh well, Avery probably wouldn't give him any PT either.

He has really sucked this year. I think he feels he is entitled to play, not one to earn his time.

Good luck in your hometown. BTW, it rarely works out when you go home

Im a Gerald Green fan, he reminds me of a poor mans J-Rich. Theres no way he would have gotten any playing time in Dallas, and playing behind Battier and TMac, he probably wont get many in Houston either

Gerald Green is one of the worst players in the NBA. I don't know when will people realize that you need some semblance of basketball IQ and actual skill to go along with supreme athleticism. If your coach can't play you on a lottery team's awfully thin swingman rotation, then that speaks volumes of how terrible you are.

Gerald can still get paid just by his name. He's made a name for himself with his entertaining dunks and winning the contest. I like him, however what has Kirk proved? Kirk really needs to get into gear before he finds him self bouncing around once again.

I was going to say fistfights but I remember him getting his ass kicked pretty bad.

That's why I'd like to see him on the court with Kidd. Let Kidd use his basketball IQ to put Green in situations where he just has to use his supreme athletic ability to get the ball and throw it down.

Kidd has worked wonders on less talented guys, that's for sure. Scalabrine, Kenyon, Jefferson, Lucious Harris, MIkkie Moore and others owe Jason 1/2 of their salary! :lol:

But I think the knock on Green is unfair. For one, he is more than say a James White clone; he has decent handles and (what separates him from 99% of other high-flyers) a sweet stroke. MIN didn't have a role for him, especially with the time and energy invested in McCants.

I think he'll end a quality player in the league.

Gerald Green is a great physical talent, but he doesnt have any major attribute than his hops. He is a average shooter, dribbler, defender. I think in time he will develop
