I don't think this is a bad idea. It's always interesting to see the lives of different rookies and see how things play out. I'm looking forward to it.

My guess is he's got to show it to Reggie in practice first. I'll trust Reggie on that one, for now. Remember, he has a long way to go learning NBA defense, as even Donte agrees. We're a not very good defensive team, but apparently Donte isn't even up to that low standard, yet. He has looked really lost on that end of the floor.
Greene seems like a joker.. Did you see him last night fitting in even though he was wearing a suit? The kid seems real nice, and I am happy to have him here. Now I hope he develops into a Rashard Lewis type SF in the future, and we will have a monster front line that can pass/shoot/post/rebound (hopefully)/have fun/want to win.. with all three 6'10+.
The way he joked around with the team it seems that he is fitting in very well. Even if it's extremely limited at this time. I have a feeling though that KT or Douby night get that phantom injury and be relegated to the street clothes dept. Reason I say this is because the one player of those three that can create mismatch problems is definitely Greene.
This is a great idea. You guys did something similar with Ronnie (if I recall correctly). I love seeing the other side or a different side of players.
I’m really excited for Donte to develop and I can’t wait to see him (hopefully) become a unit with this team. Let’s see if he’ll get some good quality playing time this year.
This is a monster question. I am wondering this as well.
Honestly, there is nothing we can do. He should probably shut it down for the season like Greg Oden did last year. He should also understand that a lot of money is tied up into other players who play at his position; those players are going to see minutes. Thats how it works when you throw 30 million and 35 and 50 respectively at men who play basketball, they usually are asked to play. Greene makes 2 mill. If I could be greene's agent i would say to him, " At this point, your contract extention (in 3 years) will be the number of pounds you gain multiplied by 1 million multiplied by 1 if his role is the same; by 2 if he cracks the starting lineup; by 3 if he makes an allstar team."
I don't care that much how he behaves outside of the court as long as he gives 100% effort in every game. I am excited on seeing this Kid finally play significant muinutes on #3 alongside our other bigs.
#5Miller ( 7' 0" ) - 30 min. SUB: Hawes ( 7' 0" ) - 18 min #4Hawes ( 7' 0" ) - 12 min SUB : Thompson ( 6' 11" ) - 18 min ; Williams ( 6' 9" ) - 12 min. #3Thompson ( 6' 11" ) - 12 min SUB: Greene ( 6' 11" ) - 24 min ; Williams ( 6' 9" ) - 12 min.
Wow.
I can't ask for more for this rebuilding team, except 100% effort in every game especially on defense. We have a tall, capable rebounders, and athletic frontline finally.
