He was a rotation member on a horrendous Celtics team that was openly tanking. He was horrible.

he may not play great defense now, but are you telling me an athlete of LeBron James caliber (Ok, ok, that's a little overrating him. But still, he's an incredible athlete) cannot be taught defense? Cannot be taught passing? Cannot be taught rebounding?

A little? A little?????
And yes, I'm saying at this point he will never learn defense, never learn passing, and never learn rebounding. He is not a basketball player.

If you believe in our coaches, then you should have every reason to believe in Gerald Green. Not as the next LeBron. Not as the next Andre Igoudala, even, or the next Brandon Roy or whatever. Not as a NBA All-team or an All-Star. Just as a guy who has the potential to become our starting SG for the next 5 or 6 years. The potential.

Fine. Believe in the potential. But don't ask that he play regular rotation minutes for my team, because right now he sucks.
I hoped he wouldn't. I called for him to play more earlier in the season. But anyone wanting him to play right now simply hasn't watched his overall performance this season objectively.
