Houston Rockets ‘finalizing’ buyout with Danny Green, Boston Celtics among ‘frontrunners’ to sign him

The Houston Rockets are finalizing a buyout for veteran forward Danny Green according to new reporting from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Boston Celtics “have emerged as frontrunners to sign him as a free agent” according to Woj along with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but those two ball 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 involved too.” It remains unclear what the 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 their 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.

The Celtics have until Mar. 10 to add a player in free agency for them to be able to play with the club in the postseason.
