HOUSTON -- Free agent guard Gerald Green has agreed to a one-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks. Green, a first round pick of the Boston Celtics in 2005, was part of the trade that sent Kevin Garnett from Minnesota to Boston. The Timberwolves traded Green to Houston last season. He played in one game for his home town team before being released.
Green was the NBA Slam-Dunk Champion at the 2007 All-Star Game.
"We have a verbal agreement with Dallas on a one year contract," said Colin Bryant, Green's agent in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "We talked to a number of teams and there is more money out there, but this is the best situation for Gerald at this point in his career."
Green went from high school to the NBA. He played at Gulf Shores Academy in Houston.
Bryant believes the Mavericks coaching staff can help Green build a solid foundation.
"With (Head) Coach (Rick) Carlisle and Mario Elie, they will be vital to Gerald's development," Bryant said. "Playing for the Mavericks will help elevate his game."
Elie is a Mavericks assistant coach.
In three years in the NBA Green has averaged 8.1 points and 1.8 rebounds a game.
Nice.
You guys gotta get his head straight though. He has a low ass BBIQ.
not bad. athletic as . definitely has talent. not a bad 3-point shot. and young. and considering hes on a 1 year contract, hes going to be forced to play his ass off this year, or his NBA career could be over. i like this signing.
What's the over/under on Shan Foster actually getting minutes this season? I don't know anything about the guy other than a few youtube clips, but he looks damn impressive. It's hard to teach shooting once you're already in the pros, and you can't teach good size at the 2 guard position, 2 things he already has.
Yeah, word is he's a dumbass. But for a guy without a home, I'm sure he's excited about the prospect and will maybe take this opportunity to heart. He'll have a good bunch of guys to learn from, in the way of developing a better work ethic. Though it's a cheesy basketball analogy, the ball is in his court. Hearing that it's for the vet minimum as well. Phew - need to hold onto that entire MLE so they can throw it at Diop while some other team will get Maggette or Childress for the same amount.
But Green, please don't try to go up against Dwight Howard in a dunk contest again. That was embarrassing.
yea i hear he a of a shooter. and we could definitely use someone that is just a pure shooter. all teams need them.
any chance of the Mavs pursuing Brent Barry? and thoughts if they do?
Check this out
He's a good shooter (someone tell Jay Bilas), a smart kid, very mature, played all 4 years in college, good size and very appreciative of the opportunity. I don't think he'll piss it away and could surprise some people. When they first drafted him, everyone was ho-humming the pick. Now, days later, people are coming to realize the Mavs made a good find at the #51. We all know that the odds of such a low pick actually succeeding are slim, but that's why they take the chance. A sharpshooter, no matter where he was drafted, can be a dangerous piece to any team. Hoping that's what the Mavs found in Foster.
I liked that pick personally.
and looking at the clips of him, i like his shot.
That video is hilarious. He was shooting from damn near half-court. And he did that thing that all winning teams do - the pointing up at the sky after a win thing. Only winners do that. That's how I know the Mavs did well in drafting him.
I like green. Dont know where he fits with Foster and Jones is expected to accept his player option.
Jones will be a trade chip with his contract.
http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archiv...g_for_chicago/Del Harris is expected to sign as an assistant coach with the Chicago Bulls today, ending his nine year tenure with the Dallas Mavericks, the Dallas Morning News is reporting.
Harris joined the Mavericks in 2000 and was top assistant to Don Nelson until Nelson gave over the coaching reins to Avery Johnson in 2005. Harris served as a consultant last season.
New Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle has already signed Dwane Casey and Terry Stotts as assistants and likely will have Mario Elie and one other coach on the staff.
Mavs just signed Gerald Green to a vet minimum contract. I like that for the price. He is a young, athletic player, the exact kind of guy you put around Kidd. Hopefully he can get it together.
Good for Del, even though he did give mixed answers about his supposed "retirement" from the court. I think a lot of it had to do with Avery ting on him and thinking he didn't need his services any longer.
Read where Utah is taking a look at Devean George. Oh, dear God, please let it be true. You want him? You can have him. Sign and trade DG and Lue (they'll love him in Utah because he looks like he's white) for Miles and Millsap. WINNAR!!!!1!!111!
Man, I'd love that, but I can't see the Jazz being so dumb.
Me neither. I was kidding about the trade pieces. I don't think the Jazz will part with Millsap. But Miles is a distinct possibility.
CJ Miles for Breath is a great move.
Diop re-signed.
