Danny Green is one of the league’s most accomplished role players. He has developed a reputation as a solid 3 and D player and has been part of championship runs with the Los Angeles Lakers, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Toronto Raptors. Though he’s no longer in his prime, he is still a solid shooter and is currently averaging 37.5% from the 3PT range.
During the trade deadline, Danny Green was traded to the Houston Rockets as part of a trade that got the Memphis Grizzlies Luke Kennard. He could potentially end up as a free agent as a result of a buyout or a waiver, and two teams that are interested in him are the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics. (1:36)
“But Danny Green is the interesting player in Houston. I’m told that he would like to be waived just like John Wall is being waived and not have to do a buyout. But Danny Green, teams like Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles, they have great interest in him.”
There is no doubt that Danny Green could help both those teams in their pursuit of a championship. The Boston Celtics likely offer a more realistic chance of winning a championship, but the Los Angeles Lakers could also be a solid destination for Green, given him being a former teammate of LeBron James.
The Los Angeles Lakers Could Sign John Wall Via Buyout As Well
The Los Angeles Lakers will definitely have some other options on the buyout market other than Danny Green. Previously, it was suggested that John Wall could potentially be a buyout candidate for the team.
If the team doesn’t trade him, Wall is a buyout candidate. But even if he is dealt, if the destination isn’t a playoff contender in need of a veteran backup, he could still be a free agent before the March 1 deadline.
Given his ties to Klutch Sports, could he end up with the Los Angeles Lakers? Another possibility might be the Miami Heat, provided they don’t get a point guard indirectly via the Lakers.
Though John Wall could provide some benefits for the Los Angeles Lakers, it makes less sense to acquire him now after moving for D’Angelo Russell. With that being said, injuries can happen, and it is always nice to have a solid depth option at the point guard position.
It remains to be seen what the Los Angeles Lakers do via the buyout market. Given their current roster, some more veterans via buyout could be nice, but not necessarily needed to make the playoffs with the talent they have.
