UPDATE: According to Jonathan Givony of Draft Express, the Nets have indeed pulled the trigger on a 10-day contract for a PG, as they've called up the Utah Flash's Orien Greene.

They brought him in just in time to impress Carmelo Anthony! Coincidence? No!

Over/Under on the number of times Thorpe mentions him in his next chat?  3? 4?

So they snagged him from underneath our noses...We'll never win banner 18 now!

Seriously though, how sad is it to be a Nets fan?

The Celtics get a supplemental draft pick for this, right?

Of course, Orien is clearly a Class A type free agent.

Wow.  Good for Oriene for sticking with it long enough to make it back in the league.  It's been a few years anyhow, hasn't it?
Yup

Who was the HS player that Ainge preferred to take but had already made a promise to Orien and could not renege? Don't tell me it was Blanche, I would get sick.

I wrote one of my first posts about Orien Greene. I got suckered into the scouting report about him on Draftexpress.  Best pre-season player I ever saw.

Now I can finally add him to my fantasy team.

I guess the road to the championship goes through NJ now. ;)

In any case, I wish him luck and a good career.

It was Amir Johnson.


This move is definitely a Power Shift in the NBA.

He's been tearing up the D-League.

I hope he sticks.
