Gerald Green Signs With Mavs For (Perhaps) Once Last Chance in the NBA
Published 7/2/2008 at The Sporting Blog
[image] Enough of this All-Star, max deal, every franchise making phone calls crap. Let's get down to some real, life-and-death free agent stuff. For anyone who closely follows the NBA and is loathe to give up on anyone under the age of 25, Gerald Green has remained a subject of some interest. And now, he's getting yet another chance to make good on his potential, this time with the Mavs . Not clear how much he signed for, but it's believed to be one year.
