In a discussion Sunday night, Avery Johnson revealed a bit of Nets history we
would like to un-hear, un-know: that the Nets were thisclose to getting Danny
Green.
After the Spurs' win over the Heat, Green's' shooting was a hot topic on
First Take, hosted by Stephen A. Smith. Johnson took the opportunity to talk
about how good he thought Green was during his tenure at Nets coach.
马刺后卫Danny Green在昨天战胜热火的比赛中打破了雷-阿伦保持的总决赛3分命中数
纪录。在赛后由ESPN主持人Stephen A. Smith主持的节目中，前篮网主帅Avery Johnson
爆料，篮网曾经试图让马刺裁掉Green，从而他们可以将他带到篮网，而且他们差一点
就成功了。
AJ: "I remember with the Nets, Billy King and I, we were trying convince Pop
to cut Danny Green so we could bring him at the time to New Jersey."
Avery Johnson：“我记得我在篮网时，我和（总经理）Billy King曾试图说服波波维
奇裁掉Danny Green，这样我们就可以把他带来篮网了。”
SAS: "You were trying to hoodwink Pop?
SAS：“你们在试着欺骗波波？”
AJ: "YES!" (all laugh)
Avery Johnson：“是的。”(全场都笑了)
SAS: "Oh my goodness! You were trying to hoodwink Pop."
SAS：“喔~ 我的天阿！你们竟然试着欺骗波波。”
AJ: "And Pop said if he has one more bad game we're going to cut him and he
made a bunch of threes in this one particular game and he kept him."
Avery Johnson：“而且波波说，如果Green下场再打的不好，他们就把他裁了。然后
就那场，他投中了一堆3分，然后他们就把他留下了。”
If so, sounds like January 7, 2012, when Green hit 3 of 4 three pointers on
the way to 24 points in 33 minutes.
The Nets didn't get Danny Green, but on February 27, 2012, seven weeks later,
Gerald Green, Danny's cousin, signed a contract with the New Jersey Nets.
Johnson没有指出是哪场，不过似乎是2012年1月7号，马刺121-117战胜金块的比赛。
Green在那场比赛中得到24分，3分球4投3中。而在2月27号，篮网签下了Danny Green
的堂哥Gerald Green。
A league source, asked if he recalled the discussions, responded, "I most
definitely do."
而在被问到能否回忆起当时的讨论时，有一个联盟消息源称：“当然能。”
