MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Gerald Green got his wish Thursday, with the Minnesota Timberwolves trading the 2007 slam dunk champion to the Houston Rockets for guard Kirk Snyder, a second-round draft pick in 2010, and cash considerations.
Green, part of the package Minnesota received from the Boston Celtics for Kevin Garnett during the offseason, was concerned about his lack of playing time entering free agency following this season.
"If I had another year left guaranteed, I wouldn't be as concerned about this year," Green said shortly before learning of the trade. "But as a free agent, and I'm not playing, it's tough for me because I know this could be my last year. I didn't want it to go like this."
