Green

New York is looking to add depth in their backcourt, but even if he makes the roster Green won’t be a fantasy asset. Veteran swingman James Posey is also “on the radar.”

Green was competing for a roster spot but never had a realistic chance of cracking the roster. The team also waived Chris Hunter.

He won’t have fantasy value this season.

Both players are not expected to have big roles with the team this year. Each has been stuck on the inactive list almost every game.

Well, at least this makes Miami younger, if not better. The 24-year-old Green split last season between the D-League and Germany. Undrafted, he made the Lakers in 2005-06 and averaged 0.9 PPG. Don’t expect much here and you probably won’t be disappointed.

Kwame Brown, Chris Mihm and Aaron McKie will all begin the season on the inactive list.

Terms were not disclosed, but Green should have very limited value in an extremely deep Lakers’ backcourt.

They still have 16 players on their roster and would probably like to cut Aaron McKie instead, but Green’s contract makes him an easy selection to be waived.

Green averaged 19.5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 13 games for the D-Fenders. The D-League has another four months of games, but there are only five games left on the schedule for the Rhein Energie. “It sounds ludicrous,” coach Phil Jackson said. “It doesn’t make any sense.”
