He's super underrated, our best player in the pre-season so far by far.

[livingby3's]

One of my favorite players when he was on the Suns. He was one of the pieces that fitted very well playing along Dragic.
Great size for a 2 guard, is athletic and has a very good outside stroke. Can occasionally slide to the 3. Never backed down on his competitions. Vastly underrated player.
Only thing I disliked about him is that he can get really trigger happy during the course of the game. Some of the shots he takes will probably piss any fan off.

But as a deadly sixth man, he can be deadly :cheers:

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Nah. That injured prone team is going to live up to their billing and he will end up starting too many games.

[GrapeApe]

He's going to be a great spark off the bench. Hopefully he can be our "microwave" guy. The Heat's bench was comically bad last season, and Green and a healthy McRoberts should be a major upgrade in that area.

[DMV2]

Green has gotten himself a nice little comeback story.

Straight outta high school. Win the Dunk contest. Goes to the D-League. Out of the NBA family. Goes overseas, including China. Back to the DLeague. Finally got a second chance with the Nets.

[WayOfWade]

That'd be absolutely great for him, at least at the moment he deserves it. He will be super important to the Heat this year, he along with Stoudemire, McBob, and Winslow are going to be huge off the bench

[Fire Colangelo]

I see a 2013 JR Smith kind of year for him.

[All Net]

How much did Miami pay for him again?

I always forget this dude is missing a finger. He'd probably be an all-star if he had it.

[sundizz]

He had some vicious dunks last night. If he had all his fingers/had better navigational efficiency or quickness he'd be so unstoppable. He already has a fairly decent shooting game. He'd drop 23 ppg so easily if he knew how to be agile/move around people ala Harden or Wade. That athleticism, strength and size are perfect for hoops.

[PJR]

At this point, I'm plugging him as the starting 3. You move Deng to the bench, and you're actually looking at some decent spacing.


How much did Miami pay for him again?

Veteran minimum. Looking like the best value signing of the summer so far.

[TrueBlue89]

Miami are STACKED. No excuses for Wade.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

He's definitely a good backup to Wade. Even if Wade has injury problems this year, they have Winslow or Green to start at the 2.

I would be really surprised if they don't make the playoffs again this year.

Definitely has a good skillset once he came back on his second go at the NBA. Seems like he's taking it way more seriously than he was on the Wolves/Celtics back in the 2000s.

[GrapeApe]

Aside from Jordan, how many 34 year old SG's have led their team to a title or even made a deep playoff run? Please answer that question.

If a team is asking a 34 year old SG to carry them (as you are implying he should), the team has serious problems.

I really like PJR's idea about Green starting over Deng. He has the size and athleticism to play SF. If the starting group struggles early in the season I wouldn't be shocked to see it happen.

Give 12-13 (pre-injuries) Kobe the same squad in the East and he would've done it. Wade is regarded as the 3rd best SG ever so Kobe and MJ are the standard.

[Lebronxrings]

So the answer to my question is nobody. Thanks for clarifying.

Also, I love how you give Kobe an injury excuse, yet Wade having no cartilage in his knee is glossed over.

The fact remains that no 34 year old SG besides MJ has ever led a team to anything of significance. There's a reason for that. Well 2 really, MJ is the GOAT and father time is undefeated.

Veteran minimum. Looking like the best value signing of the summer so far.I think the defensive drop-off would outweigh the spacing. That means all 3 perimeter players would be at best "meh" on defense imo. Wade is lazy in transition, Dragic's DPM has been bad for 2 years, and Green can be exploited defensively.

That leaves a lot of recovery for Bosh & Whiteside. Even with McBob/Amar'e/Birdman off the bench, you don't want those guys picking up fouls.

[PsychoBe]

what happened to his finger!?!?

[Human Error]

I think Green has to replace Wade in the starting lineup. It will provide much better spacing and Wade is not an elite defender anymore.

[DoctorP]

Does Spo have the balls to start Green over Wade or Deng? I don't know.

[Papaya Petee]

Here we go again with these idiots/trolls saying Wade should come off the bench.

Name one time a 22/5/4 47% FG player came off the bench.

Just because he wasn't producing as he should in preseason doesn't mean a thing. At this point in his career he's coasting to it.

Guarantee you he scores 20+ in season opener.

[QuebecBaller]

what happened to his finger!?!?

[QUOTE]when Gerald Green was back in the sixth grade. He had his mother

Not to mention that Green is well suited for the sixth-man role, and there are already enough guys who want to shoot the ball in the starting line-up (and Green shoots more than any of them).

[SugarHill]

:eek:
YIKES

[eeeeeebro]

i agree that he is a 6th man but damn dude has been athletic all his life he needs to put work in instead of letting his career go down the drain

There is more to him than just a flashy/explosive/ridiculously great dunker.
He is a good rebounder and has range for days. He can create for himself with ease but not so sure about his ability to create for others.

Just expecting a strong year from him. Already showed us how great he can be with little minutes. I'm a fan :cheers:

[bluechox2]

wade shud be 6th man of year

Willing to put your money where your mouth is?

I say he scores less than 20. Something like 19 points :D

[VeeCee15]

start green
instead of wade
or replace the starting SF with green

[BasedTom]

he was huge tonight :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[aj1987]

:biggums: :biggums:

:facepalm :facepalm

Green was brilliant tonight.

[DaSeba5]

If he plays like that, or at least something like that, consistently he will definitely have a case for it.

Miami is definitely one of the best places to improve his defense too.

[no pun intended]

Kanter will.

[MellowYellow]

Derrick Williams easy

[GrapeApe]

Green takes the occasional wtf shots, but he's definitely one of the best bench scorers in the league. He's been a 20+ PER 36 scorer the past 2 seasons. Very underrated signing.

[fragokota]

Good start :applause:

Touche, but again there was no bet.

My last pick in fantasy NBA. Huge steal for sure!!!!
