Sounds like he has his heart set on coming back to Houston. It was reported in ESPN Insider he was offer a contract thru next year with Denver but told them thanks but no thanks.

Looks like Denver was desperate to add more arsenal on their offensive. I mean they were giving up a ton of points, and obviously they thought the best solution is to outscore the other team.

I don't want a single piece of this guy.

I'd rather have Ryan Bowen. I mean there is a reason why Bowen is under contract at an age of 33, while Green with his "potential and youth" is not.

why not add wesley also to the equation

Wesley = 6'2
Bowen = 6'9

If you're going to get trash, why not go for the larger piece?

Back on point: I'd invite Green to camp and see what happens. You never know how he'll mature.

I think we should resign Green in the offseason.

In an interview recently Morey said the coaching staff hated him for cutting Green,that they really looked forward to working w/Green. I wouldn't be suprised if they have an understanding that they'll bring him back,depending on the draft. If the Rockets draft a big they'll sign Green. If they draft a wing they'll give everyone a positive review of him.
Green may have turned down Denver if he thought the money was too low,or wasn't gauranteed.

I think we'll bring him back, and it shouldn't hurt. I know every team that has acquired him saying that if "he matures" but he's in his home-town and seems somewhat focused and he'd bring some nice athleticism that we could use in stretches.

I'd rather try to sign Kelenna Azubuike (who will decline his player option of $797,581 for next season).

Gerald Green should replace Luther Head.
I am sick of Lutherhead

Players in the mix for Denver

JONES IN MIX

The Nuggets are considering signing guard Dahntay Jones, averaging 25.3 points for the NBA Development League's Fort Wayne (Ind.) Mad Ants. Jones' agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed having talks with Nuggets executive Mark Warkentien, who recently saw a 37-point game by Jones.

The Nuggets soon are expected to sign a prospect for the rest of the season with a nonguaranteed deal for next season, and there are several candidates. A sticking point on Jones is Bartelstein doesn't "necessarily want to take (Jones) off the free-agent market."

The Nuggets have been looking for several weeks for a prospect to evaluate during the summer and have contract flexibility. One candidate, forward Gerald Green, doesn't seem willing to sign a deal that includes next season.

we did the rockets waived him in the first place?

tisbee · Post #17 » by **tisbee** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:13 pm

Max roster is 15. W/Yao injured the Rockets needed a C and had to waive somebody. Green was "last hired,first fired". He had no time in Adelman's system so he was most logical choice.

I was pissed that we cut him. It's way too early to give up on a 20 year old with star potential. Green could be a low risk, high reward investment in the right situation. I'm already loving our young core. Gerald would only add to it.

dontel · Post #19 » by **dontel** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 1:21 am

im sick of all this potential BS! i mean, we've all been hearing about this guy's potential since he first came here. then what now? this is like his 3rd, 4th, season in the NBA and its taking him like forever to reach his so called "potential status" hooray! :clap:

Dinky Bits · Post #20 » by **Dinky Bits** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 1:36 am

Uhh he's 21. It's his third year. I wouldn't exactly call that "forever". And he made progress from year 1 to year 2, he was just on a terrible Minnesota team this year, and they were already stacked with young talent at the wing positions. Houston's his home town. With T-Mac mentoring him, he can be baller. I watched him in Boston, andhe's definitely a good young player. All he needs is a little mentoring and coaching.
