Cavaliers are planning sign one of the top basketballer in the world

Report: Sixers, Danny Green 'have not ruled out a return' if roster spot opens up - Liberty BallersDanny Green was best known for his sideline dance routines during his first stint with the Cavaliers.

He has picked up some new moves since then.

Green rejoined Cleveland’s roster Wednesday after agreeing to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Cavaliers, who believe the three-time NBA champion can help them in the postseason.

Green, who was drafted by Cleveland in 2009 and waived after one season, gives the team another proven outside shooter. More importantly, he’s a selfless teammate expected to blend in nicely with a young team looking to make its mark in the playoffs.

“Someone who is about the team and who just wants to fit in,” coach J.B. Bickerstaff said.

Green is expected to be in Philadelphia on Wednesday night for the final game before the All-Star break.

After tearing a knee ligament during last year’s playoffs while with the 76ers, the 35-year-old Green played in just three games for Memphis this season before being traded last week to Houston. The Rockets bought out his contract, making him a free agent, and the Cavaliers lured him away over several other interested contenders.Danny Green explains what brought him back to the Sixers - Liberty Ballers

The Cavs envision Green having an on-floor impact during the postseason, where he has shined before. Green has appeared in 165 playoff games and can help Cleveland’s young players navigate what will be a new experience for many of them.

Bickerstaff already has spoken with Green about playing time. The Cavaliers, who entered the day fourth in the Eastern Conference standings, have won seven straight going into their game at Philadelphia and finally are healthy.

Bickerstaff doesn’t want to mess up what Cleveland has going while planning ahead.

“We have to figure the balance between continuing with the group that has started to head that way and then how you mix in a piece that could possibly help you down the road,” he said. “But we will be very ginger with that because we do not want to disrupt the rhythm of what these guys are finding right now.”

Green has a reputation for being a big-game, big-shot maker.

With San Antonio in 2013, he set an NBA Finals record by making 23 3-pointers, a mark that didn’t set well with Cavaliers All-Star Donovan Mitchell, who was a teenage hope fan back then.
