In 26 minutes and is an important piece of the league best rockets who just beat the warriors

We chose nader over him. Why didn't we grab green the second we knew Hayward was out? I don't get it... I'd be happy with even half of the production of green right now...

Nobody else chose Green either until the Rockets picked him up a couple weeks ago. Why we gave Nader a contact is beyond me. He must have some pictures of Ainge in a Lakers jersey.

The OP may find answers to his/her questions in the earlier green thread.

DNP last night. No respect for GG.

He was serving a suspension.

Still baffling to me. He wins 'teammate of the year' for the Cs last year and then when we desperately need a player like him this year, we sit on an open roster spot and also hold on to Nader.
I don't think anybody anticipated Green producing like this (obviously), but we already knew he was a good fit here. I can't imagine what the reasoning might be.

Oh Ya, Cool

He would likely have required fully giving up our remaining roster spot for the rest of the season, which I think we are keeping flexibly open to land someone who fits a bigger need by the buyout deadline

Oh, I totally get that he would have taken the 15th roster spot, but is Nader so indispensable that we couldn't have waived him to sign a guy with the DPE? Seriously, Nader is the reason we don't currently have a versatile veteran scorer who gets along well with teammates and accepts any role given to him. This wasn't some big secret either - many of us have been screaming Green's name all year.

What bigger need? Our biggest need has been bench scoring since opening night.
Maybe Green would have just been the same as last season. Maybe he would have been. A better fit with this year's team. Who knows.
But bringing him on at the minimum wouldn't have precluded us from waiving him and signing someone else if Ainge saw someone he liked more.

He was serving a suspension.
He sat out Thursday vs. MIN and Saturday vs. GS for the suspension. He was available yesterday.
-
Is he guarding anyone?
He tends to treat defense as an irritant.

Nader tries but constantly gets burned anyway. I don’t know what’s worse: a guy who doesn’t put in the effort consistently, or a guy who “tries” but is terrible regardless.

Logically speaking..... The reason was to give Brown and Tatum more minutes.

Does anyone in Houston defend? He’s on the perfect team.

I've been poking around trying to find out the reasoning for this. It seemed like he had carved out some pretty serious minutes before the suspension. He does seem to have a knack for losing playing time, doesn't he?
-
My guess is that Danny didn't want to give Brad the option of playing him over Brown or Tatum. Given how good they've been he wouldn't be playing over them, but Ainge couldn't have known that. In any event any upgrade he gives is only marginal anyway, I don't think he gets you past the Cleveland (assuming we aren't already, which is debatable). In a GS series he probably unplayable due to his bad defense.

Gerald Green played the final 4:16 of garbage time last night vs. DAL. Entered with a 20 point lead.
This is from January 24 which explains the DNP-CD vs. Miami on Monday:
