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.
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.
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.
