New Orleans Pelicans sign

The New Orleans Pelicans have signed former Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls swingman Javonte Green to a one-year deal, enhancing their roster depth. Green, known for his athleticism and energetic playstyle, averaged 12.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in nine games last season, showcasing his potential as a valuable contributor. This move follows a tumultuous offseason for the Pelicans, which included acquiring Dejounte Murray and signing veteran big man Daniel Theis while losing key players like Jonas Valanciunas. There had been speculation about trading All-Star Brandon Ingram, but it seems less likely as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Green reunites with Theis, whom he has previously played alongside in both Boston and Chicago, adding to the Pelicans' small-ball lineup strategy. Overall, the Pelicans are looking to build on their previous season's performance and improve their playoff chances.
