I dont know whether to congratulate him or compare this to being the first team out of the tournament so often. Its like getting a one seed in the NIT. Hopefully some NBA squads take note and he finds a spot on a roster next season. If not, I would expect to see Green head back to Europe to earn a better paycheck. The NBA D League as of 2014 had a team salary cap of $173,000.00 with the max player total around $31,000 per year with top bonuses. Ten players per squad, bottom tier salary in 2014 was $13,000. Tough to take that kind of paycheck when you see mediocre players pulling down six figures or more in Europe.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.
