#5 Los Angeles Clippers waive guard Willie Green

The Los Angeles Clippers announced on Sunday that they had waived guard Willie Green. The team decided to let go off his contract before he was guaranteed to make 1.4 million dollars for next season.

Appearing in 55 games for the Clippers, Green averaged 5 points and 1.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes of playing time. Although to many this might come as a move by the team to make cap room for the free agency in July, according to sources the team is interested and looking forward to re-signing him.

Despite having very little cap room to work with this summer, the Clippers are still named among the teams looking to make a run for James given his close relations with Chris Paul.
