11 Former Celtics that are still available on the free agent market
By Tyler Watts
10. Javonte Green
Green went undrafted in 2015 before playing four years overseas. The 6’4 wing had a fantastic showing for Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany during the 2018-19 season, which earned him an NBA opportunity with the Celtics.
He spent 73 games with Boston over parts of two seasons before being traded to the Bulls in the three-team deal that brought Luke Kornet and Moe Wagner to the Celtics. Green averaged 3.7 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.1 minutes per game in green.
The 30-year-old spent parts of the last four seasons in Chicago but played just nine NBA games last year. He parlayed a ten-day contract into a guaranteed deal. Now, Green is back on the market and searching for his next opportunity.
The Bulls are rebuilding and do not need a 30-year-old wing coming off their bench. Can Javonte Green find a new NBA home or is he forced to head back overseas to continue his playing career? There has been no news yet, but Green is searching for his next opportunity.
If he wants more run, Green’s best bet is to head to Europe. The 6’4 guard can earn more money in the NBA and must prioritize what matters most to him for his next shot.
