veteran forward JaMychal Green<\/strong> is negotiating a contract buyout with the thunder<\/strong>by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweets<\/a>. Once it is completed and he clears waivers, Green intends to sign with the defending champion warriors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City had sought to deal Green after it acquired him from the Nuggets<\/strong>. That didn’t happen and now Green is looking to help Golden State defend its latest title.<\/p>\n

Green, 32, is at the stage of his career where he provides greater value to a container than a rebuilding team. He’s on an $8.2MM expiring contract for 2022\/23.<\/p>\n

On a veteran’s minimum deal for a player with eight years of service, Green can sign with the Warriors for $2.63MM. Golden State’s cap hit would be $1.83MM, Bobby Marks of ESPN tweets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Golden State only has 11 players on its 15-man roster, along with two unsigned draft picks and a restricted free agent. Thus, there’s plenty of roster room for the Warriors to bring in Green.<\/p>\n

Denver dealt Green to the Thunder in June.. The Nuggets also sent a protected 2027 first-round pick to the Thunder in exchange for the draft rights to No. 30 picks Peyton Watson<\/strong> and two second-rounders (one in 2023 and one in 2024).<\/p>\n

Green had a down year in 2021\/22, averaging 6.4 PPG and 4.2 RPG on .486\/.266\/.871 shooting in 67 games (16.2 MPG) for the Nuggets, but has proven to be an effective stretch four over the years. Entering ’21\/22, he had knocked down 38.0% of his three-point attempts in his first seven NBA seasons.<\/p>\n

He’ll provide depth for Golden State at power forward behind Draymond Green<\/strong> and Jonathan Kuminga<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma City is still in the process of paring down its overloaded roster.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
