August 21 news, the New Orleans Pelicans are about to fill their last roster vacancy.
Earlier, renowned sports journalist Shams Charania disclosed on his social media account: “According to league sources, free agent Javonte Green is finalizing a one-year contract with the New Orleans Pelicans. Green averaged 12.2 points in 25.6 minutes per game over 9 games with the Bulls last season.”
The 31-year-old Green previously played for the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls. In 122 games with the Bulls, Green averaged 6.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 0.9 steals. He is an excellent defensive player who can enhance the depth at the forward position for the Pelicans.
In a game against the Washington Wizards in April, Green scored 24 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Pelicans head coach Willie Green likes to score in transition, and Green excels at playing fast-paced basketball.
The signing of Green has pushed the Pelicans’ payroll over the NBA luxury tax line by more than $2 million.
The Pelicans will start training camp on October 1st in Nashville, Tennessee, and their first regular-season game will be on October 23rd (local time) against the Bulls.
