I'm sure last season got him humble. He has a lot to prove now.

I'm sure last season got him humble. He has a lot to prove now.
Im sure they'll make it to the playoffs now
Dallas has a track record with these types. DeSagana Diop was 20 minutes from being a lifetime Euro guy and Dallas signed him and did something with him. Brandon Bass went from SEC MVP to waiver wire clutter and he had a big impact for Dallas last year in his first year here.
If Bass can come in and take what few minutes there are behind Dirk Nowitzki and turn it into a revitalized career, id have to think that Donnie Nelson knew what he was doing with Green and that Green should crack the rotation next year considering the best SGs on the Mavs roster are Jerry Stackhouse & Eddie Jones.
Positive move for Dallas. Now they need to sign Patrick O'Bryant for cheap too.

you guys will enjoy having Gerald. He is full of talent and energy he just needed to be brought back down to earth and I think he had that when he was cut last season and sitting on free agency contemplating his unforseeable future.

this is a great point, and i really haven't noticed this until now.
whatever, even is gerald never pans out, risk is almost non-existent and reward can be nice.

yes there is zero risk here. I am surprised it took this long for someone to pick him up off free agency but to be honest thats exactly what gerald needed, a reality check. He should be going into this like its his last opurtunity which in reality may very well be if he doesn't mature and produce.
I think it's a good deal for Gerald Green. He's a highflyer so the mavericks are getting help at the offensive end.

Why are talking like the kids a headcase
He was projected to get drafted top 5 and went 18th
he's had humbling experiences since day one.
He been in summer leagues every year. Why are others questioning his work ethic!
The truth here is Gerald is one the few that made the jump from High School who shoulda went to college first.
The kid is as gifted as they come but he's raw which is why he's a challenge.
Scoring is easy for him but playing in a structured offense and Defense isn't.
He'll blow defensive assignments at times and force bad shots.
Athletically he's a freak of nature and he can really shoot.
Being Next to Kidd is really gonna help his learning curve big time because now he just has to be a finisher and shooter, which he's already pretty good at.
smart move
Plus all those vets around him will really help big time!
It's a good deal for the Mavericks, he is very talented. He is a good upgrade for the bench, behind Howard, George, Jones and Stack

I don't hope George plays for the Mavericks next year :D

I really doubted he would be re signed after he almost destroyed the jason kidd deal.

Great point man this would only I believe be his senior year in college so before people write him off I believe they need to realize that some of these kids take longer to develop then others (Jermaine O'Neal, etc.). This guy is what like 21 going into his fourth season? A ton of hops, speed, and a long range shot he demonstrated in high school which I believe has been missing from his game and this was a nice pick up.
I like it. Much rather have a guy like this get some burn, good or bad, opposed to Grandpa Jones or Brickhouse.
Good for him, he's an explosive and athletic player that could really help them off the bench.
He's been bouncin around teams, He'll be gone by next season
