Jeff Green only spent one season with the Cleveland Cavaliers but played an essential role on a team that went to the NBA Finals.

Now Jeff Green, who played with LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017-18, is looking to play a vital role for another championship contender, the Houston Rockets. Green’s start to the 2019-20 season began in Utah, but he only played 30 games for the Jazz before being waived in late December.

Nearly two months later, Green wound up in Houston on a ten-day contract but impressed Rockets general manager Daryl Morey enough to get a deal for the remainder of the season.
