Remember when we suggested that the Los Angeles Lakers re-sign Gerald Green?
Well, the New Jersey Nets beat them to it.
Green, a former Slam Dunk Contest winner who was named MVP of the D-League All-Star Game over the weekend, signed with the Nets on Monday, the minor league announced.
Green was averaging 19.1 points and 4.6 rebounds with the Los Angeles D-Fenders. He scored 28 points in 24 minutes in the D-League All-Star Game in Orlando, Fla. on Saturday.
The Nets have lost small forwards Damion James and Shawne Williams for the season due to injuries. They currently start a three-guard offense with DeShawn Stevenson (3.0 ppg, 3 2-point baskets all season) at small forward.
That makes it highly likely that Green not only will dress but may play for the Nets when they visit Dallas – Green’s last NBA team in the 2008-09 season – on Tuesday.
Wanted lakers to pick him up to play sg off the bench. Wish the best for Gerald Green, hope he can be consistent and play his best! lets go Lakers next stop Michael Beasley
