Great article by May. 100% accurate.

I hope Gerald isn’t planning on learning “lock down defense” from Ray Allen

Funny how Peter May conveniently leaves out the fact that he was willing to trade Al Jefferson for Kirilenko as well.

Green claims to want to be a complete player…..uh huh…Need to start walking the walk before you start talking the talk…..

iowa plowboy, Peter May not quite 100% accurate. He stated that Allen Ray has quaranteed money for next year because he wasn’t waived by June 30. Actually, Ainge and Ray reached an agreement to extend that date till the end of July. And Moskgg, Green doesn’t have to walk any walk yet. He just stated what he hopes to become. He’s been doing that almost from the start. He fully understands there’s a long way for him to go to get there.

“If the Celtics sent Gerald Green, West, the fifth pick, and Ratliff for Kirilenko and the 25th pick, it’d work. You could also insert Jefferson and Telfair into the mix instead of Green and West, but, again, I’d think long and hard about dealing Jefferson.”
Not quite.

Re True Green; After watching last night’s debacle and the lousy performance by Gerald Green, do you still see this guy as a “potential” NBA star? Gerald has been saying the same thing (that he want’s to become a complete player) for the past two years but apparently is making small strides in that direction. Face it, he lacks a FUNDAMENTAL understanding of basketball strategy and without that understanding his game-time responses will be robotic and lack the spontaneity associated with stardom!
