gerald green wants out.

[theGreatRC]

Can't say i'm surprised.

He thinks he should be playing, our coaching staff thinks he should sit.

Player gets angry, players wants out.

[EvadedHavoc]

He should go to a team with a good Player Development Staff.

I would be interested in hearing your board's view of Green.

In Boston I liked his physical talent but had a nagging concern that he was Kedrick Brown the Second in that there seemed to be no instinct for the game of basketball in him and was he was thus very slow to learn.

I could never get a real handle on the situation because coaches (Doc Rivers anyway) tend to bland, open-ended things about current players and the team was so bad it was hard to know if he truly lost or was just being sucked into a chaotic swirl of losing.

I did think he would manage to at least minutes in Minny this year.

So what do you folks think? Will Green ever be a significant player or is he an evolving bust?

Funny that this happened after he played practically the whole 2nd quarter (and some of the 4th... ugh, I can't believe he played in the 4th...) last night and royally sucked the whole time he was on the court.

Green to Seattle for their 2nd and part of their TPE?

GG+Buckner for Fred Jones+Wilson Chandler?

[Bucky O'Hare]

Pacers will give you Hulk Harrison for him. A young 7-foot 280 lb. shot blocker with some decent offensive skills, a bad temper, and a pot problem.

Good, I hate green anyways. Me and him both would be a lot happier if he wasn't with the wolves.

GG has made it official he is the worst player ever to demand a trade.

I mean really its to funny to me that he would think hes worth a damn to anyone in the league.

No team would give us anything worthwhile for him. He has no BBIQ and looks completely lost on defense. He is basically A steaming pile of cow dung

[slinky]

didnt hudson ask for a trade???


and jaric was pretty bad too last year when he asked to leave???



at least green has value as an expiring and with his "potential"

[delux55]

greens potential has capped out, he is totally worthless on the court really. And rip Hudson and Jaric all you want but they have actually been solid parts of good teams, something green will never be able to say. We are the worst team in the league and he gets no playing time here, that should tell you something about his game.

[theGreatRC]

A guy on the GB had a nice proposal: Pat O'Bryant for GG straight up.

[delux55]

Id do that or one of the many seattle project bigs maybe sene

Id even add to get sean williams from the nets

If we could get a C from Seattle, i think i would rather have Petro

[TheProdigy]

Good, so this means we don't have to see "the world is out to get me" look everytime he screws up. I still think that he can live up to his potential, but I don't think his attitude fits in with what we're building here.

[deeney0]

Nets won't be trading Williams. I don't think Green is worth any of the Seattle bigs, either. POB or Harrison is about right. Given the choice, I think I'd take POB.

At the beginning of the season I would see Gerald go on the court and he really looked like he had never played basketball in his life. I must say though that this season he has been one player I wanted to see more of. I think that he has done a good job of improving his game and making less mistakes. He has a nice jump shot and he actually doesnt throw up a lot of bad shots. When he gets in the game he is very aggressive on both ends of the floor. I dont understand how you could say he played bad last night. If another player came off the bench and in 15 minutes was able to get 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists with only 1 turnover I am sure some of you would be singing a different tune. If we dont play on signing him then yeah lets trade him and get something in return. Patrick O'Bryant wouldnt bother me, atleast wed have a center to thrown in the mix with Al. For me personally though I think that we keep trying to work him in there for 15 or so minutes a game and if he pans out sign him to a low dollar deal.

[deeney0]

Did you watch him on defense last night? He was completely lost - like always. The one play that will stick out in everybody's mind was when he gave up the baseline for an easy layup, but his defense was bad beyond that one play. Did you see his only attempts at passing result in a TO? Other than that, once the ball got to him, it didn't leave.

[MN Die Hard]

Any chance (probably not) we could package him with any of our picks (future Miami, future Boston, 2008 2nds) to Dallas for Diop?

[delux55]

Lots of people here hate on mccants well if you think mccants is bad GG doesn't even deserve to dribble the ball then

[deeney0]

I'm also liking Green/Buckner to Toronto for Dixon/Graham
