Wizards reportedly agree to deal with Jeff Green
Veteran forward Jeff Green is leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Washington Wizards, according to multiple reports.
This is a homecoming for Green, who was born and raised just outside Washington in Prince George's County, Maryland, and spent three seasons at Georgetown.
Green, 31, averaged 10.8 points and 3.2 rebounds in 78 games (13 starts) for the Cavaliers last season.
During the playoffs, he averaged 7.7 points in 22 games. He replaced an injured Kevin Love in the starting lineup for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, scoring 19 points to help the Cavaliers reach the NBA Finals.
