The Houston Rockets are finalizing a buyout for veteran forward Danny Green according to new reporting from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers have emerged as front-runners to sign him, according to Woj. Those clubs are not alone in their pursuit of the 35-year-old forward.
According to the ESPN analyst, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns are also involved. It remains unclear what his deciding factors might be, but with the $3.2 million disabled player exception created after the loss of Danilo Gallinari in the 2022 offseason, Boston can offer a free agent more than its competitors.
If it is role that Green is after, he would likely see more floor time with the Cavs, a team somewhat thin on the wing.
