SEPTEMBER 13: Green has officially signed with the Sixers, the team announced today in a press release.
SEPTEMBER 5: Free agent wing Danny Green has agreed to a one-year deal with the Sixers, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweets.
Green gives the Sixers 20 players on their camp roster, including their reported camp deal with David Duke. The Sixers had 13 players with guaranteed deals — it’s likely Green accepted a veteran’s minimum contract, though it’s uncertain whether he got a full guarantee.
Green finished last season with the Cavaliers after he was bought out by the Rockets. Green was sent from Memphis to Houston at the trade deadline as a salary-matching piece.
Green spent most of the season recovering from an ACL tear and didn’t play at all until February 1. He averaged 14.3 minutes in three games with the Grizzlies and didn’t suit up for the Rockets. Green, 36, played eight regular-season games for the Cavaliers and also appeared in four games during the postseason.
Green, of course, has a history in Philadelphia. He played for the Sixers during the 2020/21 season and part of the following year.
The career 40% 3-point shooter gives the Sixers another veteran wing option.
For some reason, I thought he signed earlier in the offseason somewhere..
They needed this. They desperately needed something on the wing. They still need another piece there, but this definitely helps in an area I was concerned about for them, especially with a lot of good teams…assuming health of course
Green is washed.
Good for him. He deserves it
Ugh, back for more I guess…
Mean, we need a 3 and D wing. Age and health is definitely a concern but it’s only for the minimum. He’s played on the team in the past and dons alright. No harm no foul, looks like a decent addition hopefully he can play a solid part for us
Him going out cost them the Atlanta series and started the whole Simmons issue (besides his actual injuries), especially b/c Rivers refused to use Isaiah Joe
Firstly can’t blame the whole series on one guy who comes off the bench.
Secondly you can’t say Green started the Simmons issue that had been bubbling on for years and just burst when the missed layup thing happened. As for Isaiah Joe, we were build for title contention and because of that your always going to okay experience, proven veterans not rookie who make mistakes.
Green was definitely underwhelming for us but can’t take all the blame
I didnt blame him. I said it was a big deal he got hurt. Losing him was a big reason they couldnt guard Huerter, and then they lost his catch and shooting on the wing, which was an issue for them in that series. Also, experience isnt the issue if you know the player’s skillset and fit, and Doc Rivers didnt know who was on his own team
If they win that series, nobody cares about Simmons not scoring, but also, if they used Simmons at smallball 5 in that series, and put him in better position to succeed, he doesnt look as bad, and wouldnt have been in as many situations where he didnt look at the rim
Injured because Embiid flopped into his knee – maybe they felt they owed him some more money.
A useless signing. Another bad move from Morey, time for this guy to go.
For the minimum, it’s worth a shot. He worked out well last time and championship experience is always nice
Not a bad pick up. Need to dump harden for TJ McConnell, Hield and Theis.
At least they are working players that can play and function on a team.
Don’t blame him getting as much money as you can before you call it quits.
