How Chris Paul trade rumor between Suns, Thunder could impact Warriors

Veteran wing Danny Green is nearing agreement with the Cleveland Cavaliers for a rest of the season contract. Green is finalizing a buyout from the Houston Rockets to free him up to join Cleveland.

The Cavaliers had searched for a wing on the trade market. They Cavs will now add a veteran with championship experience in Green.

Green was traded to the Rockets from the Memphis Grizzlies at last week’s trade deadline. That trade saw Luke Kennard head to the Grizzlies and Eric Gordon land with the LA Clippers.

Green also drew interest from the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. The Suns are reportedly adding Terrence Ross in the coming days. Ross recently reached a buyout agreement with the Orlando Magic.

LeBron James is out of his walking boot and is now back with the Los Angeles Lakers after about a week away from the team. James is dealing with a right foot injury.

Darvin Ham said it “was good for [James] to unplug a little bit.”

The Lakers are currently out of the play-in and may need James back even to qualify for it.

“Everything is going according to plan,” said Ham of James’ injury.
