If you mean the Gerald Green who was drafted straight out of HS by the Celtics, traded to the Wolves in the Garnett deal and found himself out of the league 2 years later, having to work his way back in by playing in the D-League before getting a shot with the Nets 3 seasons ago, then Yes, I know who Gerald Green is. He did the Birthday Cake Dunk. That was his legacy until he realized that if you play hard & work hard on both ends of the floor, you can carve a place out in this league. I actually admire him for that.
And I actually agree that he is talented. He can stretch the floor and has incredible athleticism. However, giving up an unproven rookie, who has only played 17 games so far in his rookie year for an OBVIOUS 1-year rental player is not a sound trade idea.
It doesn't improve the team though and that is what everyone has been trying to get across in this thread. Once a big trade happens in the NBA (Waiters/Shumpert/Smith trade yesterday) it is inevitable that all manner of trade idea threads get started up, with the majority of them being, like Crys said, NBA 2K trade ideas. This falls into that category imho. There's little thought given to the bigger picture or the current state of the team or other factors that go into trade evaluation. It's an "on the surface" trade or just making a trade for the sake of making a trade. There is no reason for it and that's been the MAIN point in the majority of posts in here.
