THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[mvossman]

I think you guys are banking on him being the same player as he was for 2 years of his 9 year career way too much more than you should be. There’s a chance he does come back and do what you’re saying. I don’t think you’re giving any credence to the possibility that he might not.

His first three years were on his rookie contract starting at age 21.  Most guys take a few years to get acclimated to the league so I am not going to hold that against him.  His last year with Atlanta he was good enough to land that "albatross" contract.  That is the guy we were hoping to get in the trade, and that is the guy we got.  He was a bit of a chucker in NY, but that org was a shit show.  For the most part we are simply looking for Atlanta/Mavs Timmy and not NY Timmy.
