Golden State Warriors: Top 12 free agency targets remaining
By Tony Pesta
Gerald Green
The high-flying Gerald Green has been a journeyman these last few seasons.
At 6-foot-6, Green didn’t play in the NBA last season, but the season before that, he spent with the James Harden-led Houston Rockets. Green should again find a market in the NBA, one craving low-cost, high-ceiling players.
Green is a microwave and can still score rather easily. With the Rockets, he averaged 9.2 points per game. The season before that, still with Houston, he notched double-digit points per game.
Shooting over 36 percent from deep, Green has had a lengthy career with multiple teams. That said, if he’s looking for a place where he can contribute and potentially win a ring, it could be Golden State.
It’s possible that Green doesn’t come back to the NBA, but at the very least, the Warriors should make an attempt to bring in an athletic, three-point shooting guard.
