Another trade: Gerald Green for Kirk Snyder
February 21st, 2008by John
Just before the trade deadline, it was announced that the Rockets traded Kirk Snyder for Minnesota’s Gerald Green.
I love this trade. Not that Green is ready to play significant minutes, but it’s great to get an athletic local boy (Gulfshores Academy) on the roster . The Rockets have missed the chance to get other local, athletic players in the past that could have energized the crowd, like Rashard Lewis and T.J. Ford just to name a few. And with Green’s great dunking ability (former NBA slam dunk champion), he should be alot of fun to watch when he does get into a game.

I don’t like the trade. A lot of people fall in love with his athletic ability without realizing that Green doesn’t have a lot between his head. I watched him a lot when he was in Boston. Most of the time he ran around like a headless chicken. Initially I thought that it was due to his inexperence and young age. Later I learned that he had problems remembering plays. He also had other problems that hindered his progress. The guy just doens’t use his head. It isn’t surprising that Minnesota gave up on him. I rather have Snyder’s contract which will be expired at the end of the season.
