BREAKING: Philadelphia 76ers Reportedly Will Release 3x NBA Champion
On Monday night, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that 2018 MVP James Harden will be traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Many players were involved in the deal, and in a related move, Wojnarowski reports that the 76ers will waive Danny Green.
Via Wojnarowski: "The 76ers are waiving veteran guard Danny Green, sources tell ESPN. Philadelphia needed the roster spot to complete the trade with the Clippers."
Green signed with the 76ers over the offseason and has played in two of the team's first three games.
The 36-year-old is in his 15th season in the NBA and has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Memphis Grizzlies, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers.
His career averages are 8.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 42.1% from the field and 40.0% from the three-point range in 832 regular season games.
In addition, Green has played in an astonishing 169 NBA playoff games and won three NBA Championships (with the Lakers, Raptors and Spurs).
Since he has so much experience (and is an excellent shooter), Green could end up being a good addition to many teams and will be a name to watch.
As for the 76ers, they are 2-1 in their first three games and coming off a 126-98 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
They will play their next game on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors.
Last season, the 76ers were the third seed in the Eastern Conference and lost to the Boston Celtics in the second round of the NBA playoffs.
