    Mickey Mantle was the same. Being liquored up brought out his demons for all to see.

    Old saying is that you are what you defend. He can't defend 4's anymore, so he can't be one. On this roster, he'd be a 3rd-string center.

    But man! Can he shoot. It always seems like he never misses when he's wide open. Blazers were one of the poorest teams in the league at hitting wide open 3's. Dame missed out on a chit load of assist.

    when/if he takes the floor as a Nugget, that will be his 12th team

    so, it will be a 5-way tie. Green could break the tie next season

    I want to see him dealt at the trade deadline, just so that he can break the record.

    He barely played 4 when he was here, defensively. Who can he guard now? He's always been a liability on D...

    Maybe it's the name Green. Danny Green is the same way. Seems like the last few years always ends up playing for a contender.
    Would love to have him here on the bench.

    Watching Rajon Rondo's press conference and he said twice, that he "wanted to be wanted" twice.
