To think that a month ago, he was on a different team and finishing second in the dunk contest... can anyone say "the new Harold Miner"?

Yeah, someone'll sign him but I doubt much'll come of it. What I always find bizarre with guys like Green is that the height of his fame is coming from ages 18-21, just like it does with those college guys who never make it in the NBA.

HOLY **** NO WAI!!!!

Wow that's a slap in the face how the **** did that happen?

He can't be added and play in the playoffs. He can't show any value for a new contract next year. And now the management hated him so much in 2 weeks they just realeased him because his presence isn't worth any value he may have....

Wow

This must suck for A.J.

Sux for Green, he can be on a playoff roster. But why did they cut him?

His basketball IQ is horrible... I wouldn't be surprised it the Cavs pick him up as regardless of how many shooters they get to surround Lebron with they have this fetish with picking up more...

you can have as much talent as you want but if you dont have the right attitude you'll never make it in this league

Landry is out with fluid in his knee. We needed to release someone to sign another big guy and we signed Harris to help out until Landry is better. Green might be resigned once Landry comes back.

Gerald Green. Michael Jordan. Both players names have N's, A's, E's, N's, R's, L's, and D's.

It's not conspiracy, it's fate.

Sign his ass.

I remeber Pierce is out good this will give Green time to shine threads among others...

for the past 2 years... There has been a lot of crap..

God I hated some my fellow fans thoughts


That said, he's not lets just cut this player when he can be of no use to a playoff team territority. he's not nothing. He's close but stil worthy of slightly more then this

He has athletic ability, and he has a few skills. He has no idea how to use the two together. He's got a nice % from three, but he shoots almost flat footed, and he doesn't have teh strength or ball handling ability to get to the rim, so the leaping ability is useless.

I remember some people hyping him to be the next McGrady coming into that draft...guess it didn't work out
Thank you for all the memories BRoy. You were a class act and brought hope to an entire region for 5 years. You will be missed.
