According to senior ESPN writer Adrian Wojnarowski on a recent episode of “NBA Today,” veteran forward Danny Green is a name to watch for the Boston Celtics if he is bought out by the Houston Rockets.
Green, who was dealt from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Memphis Grizzlies after a gruesome knee injury, was again dealt to Houston at the deadline.
Per Woj, Green hopes to be released, and “Cleveland and Los Angeles” may also be in the running to sign the veteran wing.
The ESPN analyst did not make it clear which Los Angeles club he meant, but both the Lakers and Clippers made moves at the deadline in the hope of a deep postseason run.

For the Cavs, the logic seems to be adding veteran presence at a position of need, and for Boston, while the role might be the smallest, the odds of adding another ring (and more money if the disabled player exception the team possesses is used) could tilt the odds toward the Celtics in the race for Green’s services.
