Minnesota Timberwolves guard Gerald Green tells FOX 26 Sports he has been traded to his hometown Houston Rockets for guard Kirk Snyder and a second-round draft pick.
Green, in his third year in the NBA, went to Gulf Shores Academy High School in Houston. He was drafted in the first round out of high school by the Boston Celtics.
"It's like a dream come true. Never in my life did I think this would happen," Green said. "I am on cloud nine."
Green was traded by Boston to Minnesota in that blockbuster deal involving Kevin Garnett.
He won the Slam Dunk Title in 2007 and was runner-up in 2008.
