    Morey has taken an unathletic team and transformed it in one year.

    Dude was young and cocky. I think the experiences of being traded 3 times and not playing has humbled him a little bit. Plus I think Shane and Tmac can help him grow. Both Minny and the C's had no one to help him mature.

    for those that aren't giving him a chance.. keep in mind.. he played on 'last' years Boston team and this years Minny. How bad is that? No wonder he didn't have any direction or leadership. I say.. let RA find a role for him like he did with our other blossoming rookies.

    Getting Green for Snyder is ok because Kirk wasn't doing anything for us,but losing Bonzi hurts.

    Wasn't Morey involved when the Celtics took Green the first time? I guess he has an affinity towards him.

    This was basically us doing Kirk Snyder a favor. Snyder deserves more playing time than he'd have gotten here, and he has an opportunity to earn himself another decent contract in Minnesota. I hope he makes the most of it.

    I don't think Green does anything significant for us this year. As others have said, he'll be a project player for us.

    will t-mac train him though?

    t-mac is already a lazy guy in practice, but i sure hope he works with green and teaches him some tricks.

    that highlight package makes him look so good

    I will take Shane training him to play defense the way he does. Gerald has pretty good offensive game. He needs to get stronger and learn how to play D.

    His Bball IQ is larger than Captain Kirk's.

    Great...

    Now if the Rockets can sign Mike Harris, we will have THREE players that can take part in next year's dunk contest. Landry, Harris and Green.

    This really makes up for the pain of losing Bonzi right? :D

    LOL tmac is NEVER lazy in practice.

    You like to judge people too much, just because he avoids the media after practice, does mean he is lazy

    concluding that these trades aren't about this year isn't 'dramatic' ... just truth.

    if yah read my post, i pretty much conceded possible long term potential. its all thats left after all ...

    DM & company has given up on this year.

    Yep. Guess that's why he can't shoot.

    He has Houston tatooed on his arm, that's all you need to know.

    gerald green, wasn't he the one in this year's dunk contest? he won that award last year right?

    He doesn't have attitude problem, but his upside is huge. He could be the next josh smith to us.

    he's a high fly dunker, young and full of protential.

    Maybe this is the best trade out of the two. I still don't like MJ + wells for jackson.

    Now we have to wait and see how Tmac reacts to his.

    I like G better than Novak. I give Novak credit, he shoot the lights out if left wide open and that's it. He has shown his potential and that's it. Now, green has the athleticism to stretch way beyond what we currently seen. He should look to learn from Shane 65% and 35% from MacLady.

    So if we feel Novak can develop, I definitely feel the same about G. If he develops into a 6th or 7th man, I'll take him. Imagine coming from the weakside and swatting shots of big men that have gotten around Yao. Dude can almost touch the top of the backboard.

    The future:

    G Green
    AB
    Novak
    Mandry
    Scola.
