Gerald Green signs 1-year deal with Heat
After failing to play well enough, Green took his talents overseas and played in Russian Federation for two years and China for a year before attempting to make a National Basteball Association return. “He’ll be an ideal complement to our team”, Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement, according to the Sun Sentinel.
The report says that Green will sign for the league minimum salary. “He’s an unbelievable player”.
Gerald Green has signed his one-year deal to join the Miami Heat.
Keeping Dragic was a major priority for the Heat this summer, especially since they included two future first-round picks in the deal that brought the point guard to Miami from Phoenix. “Every player on this team is smart, and every player is really locked into one goal, and that’s to win a championship”.
“With a complete roster, we can contend in the East, and I mean contend high”.
Before ever seeing him in a Miami uniform, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was already putting a fairly high expectation on the shoulders of rookie forward Justise Winslow. I think a lot of opponents are going to be scared of us.
While these Miami Heat rumors might be considered small compared to some of the other National Basteball Association offseason chatter, this could be a really good under-the-radar signing by the front office. We have moved on from what happened previous year. Green and Dragic were teammates in Phoenix.
Dragic averaged 16.3 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1 steal in almost 34 minutes a game last season.
But his numbers fell off in 74 games last season, including four starts, with Green averaging 11.9 points while shooting 41.6 percent overall from the field and 35.4 percent from three-point range.
Guard Tyler Johnson sustained a broken jaw in Wednesday’s game against the Clippers and will miss the remainder of Summer League, which includes a game Friday in Orlando and at least five in Las Vegas.
