isaiah and gerald green

[rollie mass]

2nd highest scoring duo when at phoenix,
jaylen brown, will not come close to geralds experience as an explosive above rim player
 then add in geralds 3 point shooting and previous compatibility with isaiah
gerald was really coming on defensively last season at miami and could really surprise in that area
gerald quite possibly could allow the celts to bring jaylen  along slowly
 with hoford and spacing and an above the rim target now isaiah can pile on the assists and probe and navigate the paint knowing he has targets without forcing or sacrificing himself physically
 horford and green will just make isaiah more efficient and deadly and fun
green should bring out the best in marcus and rozier--green is 6-8 and still fast  and can hit the three and transition-wow
danny hits again -green is a missile off two feet and is used to contact and finishing unlike jaylen
the amount of combinations that brad will use while the celts fly around
 isaiah gets horford and green thats fireworks to me-just not the finale

jerebko ranks 6th highest % on threes at .401
-ray allen .409
 leader marcus thronton at .419

if gerald green is taking jaylens minutes then get him out

[BornReady]

I don't like this bring jaylen along slowly
Especially when he has physical tools and enough skill to contribute off the bench
I would like him to be playing behind crowder in the depth chart

I think green is a reclamation project
As well as ainge seeing good value as he didn't get much attention in free agency as he started the season good but then kind of trailed off
Maybe as more of a vet presence as ainge expects us to go further into the playoffs this year than just a 1st round exit like previously

I'm not nearly as excited about Green as Rollie is.  He is so inconsistent year to year so we don't know which Gerald we are getting.  Also, he seems more productive when he has a total green light to jack up shots, which he won't be able to do on this team.

I don't see the Green signing as fireworks... just filling out the roster.

[2short]

I don't see Green getting too much time on team unless someone is moved in trade.  Gerald can only play sf with all the guards we have.  His defense isn't the best but he can fill lane  and hit 3's.  So crowder is starter then its between him, brown and even jj for minutes.  I think brown is not the sort of guy to be deer in head lights.  I'd say his rebounding and defense will be better than geralds right off bat, kid has a nice handle and seems to have good court awareness.

ps-can't help but remember green in miami at some hotel on drugs or something acting crazy
anyone have info on this,i remember reading it, sort of squashed by heat and nothing reported after initial story (that i saw)

[slamtheking]

Green is a "break glass in case of emergency" player on the bench.  I doubt he sees much court time except in blowouts or at best is a deep rotation player when no one else on the team can hit from outside.  He's a step up (or 2) from Young and Hunter, which isn't saying much, so it gives Brad another viable player he can use on the floor.

Brown will get as much playing time as he deserves.  I have more faith that Brad will not put veterans ahead of young players just because of experience.  I think Brad will play whomever's playing better in practice and in games.

jaylen had trouble finishing at summer league but i just listened to locked on and jaylen and smart are practicing everyday with coaches from celts out on west coast
 really competing and marcus sharing with jaylen -this is three times a day
-marcus is concentrating on his shooting
here is what i like about green 10yrs of finishing, a 36% 3 point shooter with a recent season of 40%,a compatible relationship with isaiah,
 where they were 2nd leading scoring duo in league
greens length and quickness off two feet and his ability to adjust and absorb contact
greens more of a slasher than a bulldozer and because teams have to close and respect his three he can get to hoop
horford was the big deal but green may turn out to be a heist our 2nd team is going to need some scoring help after losing turner-
as to his freak out in miami, it easy to do down there
green got a backseat to youth and winslow but it took time for winslow to adjust-the celts now have that same luxury-it would be nice to start out hot in early season allowing jaylen to learn and adjust , maybe slowly was wrong word
i watched so much of greens tapes and like how he gets up in confined spaces and takes off at angles and his mid air adjustment,he just seems more flexible
in the end green is just another weapon to be used by brad and isaiah/rozier/smart

by the way does westbrook have a no trade clause,isn't this what everybody wanted if they were to trade for westbrook-

[cornbread1981]

This team right now is not competing for a title jaylen should see much more minutes than green to develop him as he is a future piece of this franchise. Gerald green is 30 yr old whose shooting is the definition of streaky he does not replace evan turners production in a million years.

This team right now is not competing for a title jaylen should see much more minutes than green to develop him as he is a future piece of this franchise. Gerald green is 30 yr old whose shooting is the definition of streaky he does not replace evan turners production in a million years.

Green can possibly be a really good piece for us. If playing well, I feel he will soak up a good amount of turners minutes while bringing a different skillset to the team. (Smart should be overseeing turners 6th man ball handling role).

Im not worried bout Brown's minutes. If Green is to good to not be playing, I see Brown  just slidiing to the 2 Guard position more frequently  and we end up bringing Rozier in much slower then projected. I doubt we sacrifice Jaylen's minutes before Terry's. Marcus and Isiah can handle the majority of those minutes, Bradley and brown  for the 2, Green and Crowder for 3, Green and Brown can be swapped from 2-3. If we plan to win 55 games! I think we may need Green to be on his "A game" or something close to it. He and Marcus will  anchor our 2nd Unit.

just watched gerald green score 30 on dallas mavericks and 41 against okc-how can someone not be excited to get a guy 6-8 that can get red hot with the three-miami went young and stopped pushing the ball and greens time got cut-it might happen here
green seems in his prime for 1.3 mill
his teammates have liked him-the guy has 10yrs experience and not coming off an injury-
sorry but from cal to summer league  jaylen relied on overpowering
jaylen will need to adjust and he will be forced to shoot
 -not only will he have to beat one man the next is even bigger, stronger and longer
there are the crowds, travel back to back and playing team defence against pros
 2nd team with loss of turner will have an ineperienced point guard rozier
getting the people the ball on their spots to succeed and in rhythm is very important-
rozier will have to penetrate and kick -while not being caught in air
jerebko hits the three and is straight line with no ball creativity
we are going to miss turner,he didn't get ruffled and his ability to hit fall away and pull up or get to the hoop
-so for me i put green in the 2nd unit ahead of brown while jaylen learns the ropes
only a few months till training camp and the fun begins---

gerald ahead of brown oh **** me your saying put some head case 30 year old who probably doesnt give a flying **** about winning ahead of a person who might be the face of the franchise. gerald green isnt the next larry bird hes a streaky shooter has very little defense and is athletic, christ.

[rollie mass]

he is a 19 year old rookie on a playoff team-what happened last year a three way tie over one game-did you not read marcus telling him if you do this, they will do that-the kid is raw offensively and has lived off his hops speed and strength to overpower
like winslow defense will keep him on court
-it is rare a winning team gets a number three usually a losing team and they arn't competing for wins but losses
this is grown men with elite talent and skills
the year marcus was drafted randle,jabari parker,aronn gordon ,exum smart all suffered drastic injuries -maybe pushing there youth to far to fast

I will pull my hair out if brown is pushed to the pine because of a Gerald green signing.

So because marcus told him some things he can do in nba games hes completly raw and horrible on offense? right. Grown men with elite talent and skills? what is jaylen or any rookie a 3rd grader? jaylen weighs 225 at 6 foot 7 and i dont think he can gain elite talent and skills sitting on the bench. I could also name you various rookies who played high minutes and done well with no injuries stop nit picking gerald green isnt the saviour ****
