HOUSTON -- Minnesota Timberwolves guard Gerald Green tells FOX 26 Sports he has been traded to his hometown Houston Rockets for guard Kirk Snyder and a second-round draft pick.

Green, in his third year in the NBA, went to Gulf Shores Academy High School in Houston. He was drafted in the first round out of high school by the Boston Celtics.

"It's like a dream come true. Never in my life did I think this would happen," Green said. "I am on cloud nine."

Green was traded by Boston to Minnesota in that blockbuster deal involving Kevin Garnett.

He won the Slam Dunk Title in 2007 and was runner-up in 2008.

[BFRESH44]

He probably is loving that if true...That's his home city...He'd have to buy 70 tickets a night just for his family.

wtf a 2nd rounder??

[Thorpesaurous]

I hope he does well. Going home isn't always the best thing in the world for a young kid with a lot of money all of a sudden.

His being traded for Kirk Snyder is ironic. They're almost the same guy at this point. Athletic wings with decent jumpers and no sense to go along with it. Snyder's 4 years older or so though. I still think Green could work out someday, at least at the Deshawn Stevenson level.

[kwajo]

Congrats to the Rockets, you've inherited one hell of a douchebag.

[FireMcFailPlease]

lmfao

yes he does suck.

[LutherHeadJob]

ok ok, now hurry up with mike miller

[TruthKGRay3412]

He doesn't suck..He is going to make everyone eat there words playing in Houston.Its funny his NBA Draft comparison was Tracy McGrady now hes playing with him.I am happy for Gerald hes a good kid.I still think he is a future all-star if he can get his B-Ball IQ up.

YEs he does suck

[LutherHeadJob]

well...i guess he can penetrate, so thats a plus

Tmac jr :bowdown:

now wheres my miller :banghead: :mad:

[rezznor]

well, here's the second trade rockets have been hoping for! :rolleyes:

[FireMcFailPlease]

Tmac jr :bowdown:

now wheres my miller :banghead: :mad:
He penetrated 0 times with the worst team in the nba and settles for terrible jump shots.

[LutherHeadJob]

i am ****ing pissed right now, green and jax better be raining 3s for the rest of the season and playoffs



^^ i said he CAN penetreate, probably won't happen...

[SCY]

I guess this can't hurt any, I had some hope at the beginning of the season Green would start to show his potential, now I don't know. Definitely not a real replacement for Bonzi.

[LutherHeadJob]

well, on the extreme optimistic side, tmac was a average player, then he moved to orlando and guess what happened


WHERES MY MILLER!@@#!#!#:banghead: :banghead:

[MrEncinas]

Celly (Houston): Any truth to the rumors of Houston trading Kirk Snyder and a pick for Gerald Green of Minnesota?

Chad Ford: (2:57 PM ET ) Sounds like there is some truth to that ... Green to Houston for Synder and second round pick. Is Green's value really that low?

Chad Ford: (2:58 PM ET ) Well ... that's the big trade of the day folks! Sorry we don't have more confirmations. I have to stop the chat now. Check back with ESPN.com over the next few hours to find out whether Ben Wallace is a Cav or still a Bull

[konex]

Dammit, Mitch! :banghead:

[ElPigto]

Hopefully the kid proves me wrong, but I'm not expecting anything.

Oh well, Go Rockets!

[LutherHeadJob]

mike miller :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[ElPigto]

mike miller :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Alright man, we get the point, you wanted Mike. Just forget it and move on with the season. Our Rockets will still rule, so lets just chill.

[SCREWstonRockets]

:party:Welcome home Gerald Green!!! We basically got his potential for free. It doesn't hurt to get another guy that can attack the basket. Sadly, he's probably our best penetator now. Reminds me a lot like T-Mac: out of high school, jumps out the roof, pretty looking jumper, skinny and questionable attitude.:oldlol:

[DatZNasty]

That is a steal, kid only just turned 22. 2 years removed from his prom he was putting up 10/3/1 pts and 38% from 3 in less than half a game (22 minutes).

You can't tell me this couldn't wouldn't be a perfect fit next to Kidd.

Another thing. TMac, lazy eye. Green, missing finger.

[The_Blur]

Hopefully he'll get some playing time in Houston. I really thought this was going to be his breakout year with the Wolves.

don't think it's a good idea for Gerald to play at home right now. too much for him to get into here. we'll see.

well I guess you guys got your backup wing :confusedshrug: I think this kid is 2 years away from contributing or washing out of the league. all that athleticism and he couldnt crack the wolves rotation for ****.

[Interminator]

I predicted this yesterday.

Im on fire

[rezznor]

we may get bounced out the first round again, but at least now the rockets will be on more espn highlights!!!

[ukballer]

Really happy about this one. One of my favourite players now on one of my favourite teams. Hopefully this will rejuvinate him and with Bonzi gone, he could be seeing some half decent minutes. Though of course he's bound to get more time than he did at Minnesota.

[PK3434]

Gerald Green to Houston Pro-Am ?

[StroShow4]

the t-wolves got owned.. kirk snyder and a second rounder? :oldlol:

[wTFaMonkey]

kirk snyder has freakish athleticism.

but he is as dumb as stro-stro

[Rockets(T-mac)]

Pretty good trade to get Green for someone we never have in the rotation other than garbage time. Green will hopefully fit in system and make an alright impact. I'm curious on how The rotation will change now with Bonzi gone and Jackson and Green in.

[FireMcFailPlease]

Same here. Green is a moron. I could only hope he proves me wrong.

[weakbomb]

Gerald Green can be useful in Rick Adelman's system. He can use his atletism in offence system.

[TMac&Luther]

I like this trade......Adelman has shown he can develop talent and his system is very player friendly where athletic energetic players can make a impact.....I'm curious to see how this turns out.

[Interminator]

I predicted this right on the money,I was just bull****ting and I got it right.

People here undervalue my ideas.

I posted about Jermaine O'Neal to GS 1st,back in like October.Then reports came out Indiana had talks with GS about a deal involving Jermaine O'Neal.

[evinecz]

good trade, might mess up chemistry though.

[Done_And_Done]

Somebody seriously needs to give this kid a decent chance to expand or develop his game and I believe Adelman might just be the guy to do so...
The fact that Houston packaged in a 2nd rounder with Snyder goes to show that this wasn't just a salary based deal and more so an investment than anything. Who knows, maybe this jump to Houston might be the final stop before GG blossoms into the player that was so excessivley hyped prior to being drafted...


Done

[Optimus Prime]

I shall now impart my wisdom about this trade:

:wtf:

:sleeping

And finally...

What, the Rockets didn't get any cupcakes? :confusedshrug:

[TMac&Luther]

good trade, might mess up chemistry though.

:oldlol: 22 YOs that aren't proven and are at the bottom of NBA rosters don't "mess up chemistry", they pack their bags and are told to go home if they don't mind their Ps and Qs..

There is absolutey 0 chance of Green messing with chemistry on this veteran driven team.

I'm pretty sure everyone gets that you are a genius now since you've stated as much 3 times prior to this.
:bowdown:

[gts]

good pickup by the rockets congrats, i was kinda hopeing he'd be avaulable this summer for the lakers somehow... as long as the coaching staff is patient with him i think houston will be real happy with this kid in a year or two

[DatZNasty]

22 yr old career 38% shooter who runs and jumps out of the building, nope, no way the Mavs could have used him

[Real Men Wear Green]

I'm glad to see G on a team that is willing to give him a chance (not saying that he never had a shot in Minnie but they clearly gave up on him when they didn't take up the option for next season). He's got a coach that's good at using scorers and gets to learn from his idol. This is about as good as he could hope for.

[kidachi]

I want to see Gerald in a running team (suns/warriors). Dunk....Dunk...Dunk...

[SCREWstonRockets]

I'm guessing you saw him play is Boston. How good is this kid and how good can he become? What are his strengths and weaknesses?

[Real Men Wear Green]

I'm guessing you saw him play is Boston. How good is this kid and how good can he become? What are his strengths and weaknesses?
Strengths: Has as much rise as anyone in the NBA, a terrific athlete, and is a good shooter.
Weaknesses: Not much of a dribbler, doesn't understand offense or defense at the NBA level of complexity.

He could become a 20+ ppg scorer and a great defender, but that's only if he starts developing at a rate he hasn't been developing at. My guess is that he one day will become a good scorer but may never fully realize his potential as a defender.

[TMac&Luther]

How much of this kid's finger is cut off........I mean how the hell can he handle/shoot the ball missing a ring finger?

Does anybody have a picture of it...

[veilside23]

gerald green will be in tmac's shadow i hope he can be thou :D if only green has the basketball IQ of chris paul could be scary ... but green should just be one of the guys who dunks... if he doesnt improve.. he just needs motivation and i guess he has all the reason to be motivated...

[Nets fan 93]

Yeah Gerald green had to get out of minnesota he will be much better off learning form T-Mac

[new noise]

Yeah Gerald green had to get out of minnesota he will be much better off learning form T-Mac

As good as McGrady is, he's one of the last guys I'd depend on to be any kind of a teacher for the young guys.

[insidehoops]

Bump

[Nets fan 93]

Wow Houston gave up really nothing for Green a former slam dunk champion cant wait to see what he can throw down in a rocket uniform. plus he's in a slump right now He normally is a great shooter:party:

[Nets fan 93]

As good as McGrady is, he's one of the last guys I'd depend on to be any kind of a teacher for the young guys.
Why not T-mac???okay then mutumbo can help him out:cheers:

[Nets fan 93]

why is this still sticky?? Gerald was waived

[The Big Three]

why is this still sticky?? Gerald was waived

They'll get it done eventually, this board's kind of slow. Not much activity around the team forums.

[SCREWstonRockets]

It's still sticky because Green will be back on the Rockets team next season. I just hope being waived is making him work harder on his game. Green will be T-Macs Successor.
