Because of the pandemic, many teams in the league have used difficult exceptions this season to sign 10-day short-term players. Although many players are forced into health and safety agreements, such operations give many veterans the opportunity to be reborn. The number of players playing in the NBA has reportedly reached 580 this season, a record high in league history.
According to Shams, the Rockets' player development assistant coach Gerald Green also plans to make a comeback, and he will join the Rockets' development league team Rio Grande Valley Vipers to try to play a good personal performance in the development league and further return to the NBA league.
This season, Green did not get the opportunity to sign a contract, and had no choice but to announce his retirement to join the Rockets' coaching staff. But after the outbreak of the epidemic, many NBA veterans have regained the opportunity to sign a contract to play. Gerald Green was thrilled to see veterans like Greg Monroe, Lance Stephenson and Joe Johnson all re-entering the league.
As a result, the Rockets assistant coach is warming up and eager to return to the game. Since these veterans can re-sign a 10-day contract, why can't Green? As early as December, Green posted a video of himself dunking in socks, and his athleticism and shooting skills are still there.
"I mean, don't get me wrong, I just love basketball." Green explains, "I'm always ready for a challenge. I love opportunities like this, and at the same time I don't take it for granted. "It seems that Green is absolutely serious.
Gerald Green was the 18th pick in the first round of 2005 and has played eight teams in his career for 12 seasons in the league. In his career, he averaged 9.7 points and 2.5 boards per game, shooting 36.1 percent from three-point range. But during a preseason training session in 2019, Green suffered a severe fracture of his left foot and was later traded out of the league.
Despite multiple teams, Houston is Green's only hometown team. Green, also known as the "Son of Hughes," tried to give him a chance to fight the League again after he was injured, but his form was no longer as good as before. This time, can his dream-chasing journey be successful? If you want to sign a contract in the future, I believe that the Rockets will definitely be the first choice team!
