Gerald Green has been no stranger to the inconsistencies in opportunity that life as an NBA player affords. He was traded from the Celtics after two seasons, played games on seven more teams and braved seasons in Russia and China trying to forge his way back into the league in 2009-2010.
Green, more than most, was ready for the sporadic Brad Stevens rotations that would leave him buried on the bench then called into starting action in the NBA playoffs 10 years after his last start in green.
