    This signing is almost like a middle finger to everyone who dissed Morey for trading Beasley lol.

    He finds these offensive scorers for the minimum so easily. Thornton, Beasley, and now Green. I just hope people have not forgotten what happens: you will soon notice Green's defense, his open teammates and his back-to-average percentages. Then it will be "WHY IS HE PLAYING OVER LUC" lol.

    Good signing. Wonder if it will afford us extra rest for Harden.

    I could be wrong, but I believe players who are on two-way contracts (Weber and Jackson) can only play so many NBA games.

    So this could mean that Rockets may be looking to sign a vet PG who can actually serve as an 'in case of emergency, break glass' type of player who can ride the bench when everyone is healthy, but play solid rotation minutes if someone is out.

    Something Brown could not be counted on to do.

    By the moment that comes I hope we have Harden back. If Green can give us just 1 month of godly beyond the average production I'll be thankful.

    It’s going to be really awkward when the rockets don’t resign Gerald green next year

    why'd it be awkward? It's a business. If he plays god enough, then he'll be on the team, if he suck, then he wont. Simple as that...

    Bobby Brown, you will be missed in garbage time... but maybe now Zhou Qi will get some shots instead.

    Does Green remind any of you of Von Wafer?

    Dunno why.

    Unheralded journeyman player with questionable fundamentals who isn't afraid to take shots and is on a hot streak and making a positive impact? Yeah, sounds familiar.

    I don’t see it as a hot streak.

    Pretty much. Super athletic guy that can explode from time to time scoring in bunches, but can also completely disappear.

    That's the way it should have been anyway. There is no nee for Brown when Harden is listed as a PG and not a SG.
