Festival of coupes: Gerald Green, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Courtney Lee pushed out

As the rosters must be finalized by December 21 and the NBA does not record transactions on Sunday, the various franchises announce the last unfortunate ones, cut just before the resumption.

And if there are not so many surprises, we will retain three names. In Dallas, Courtney Lee is not retained, the franchise deciding to bet on youth with the rookies Tyrell Terry and Josh Green.

More surprisingly, because there was room in the workforce, Wolves decided not to keep Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who could have provided defense and who had made good appearances in the preseason.

Finally, the dream comes to an end for Gerald Green, who will not have a second chance in Houston. The rear has no luck since the Rockets have reached the “hard cap” which means they can no longer spend an extra penny. And this while the contract of Chris Clemons had become guaranteed just before his serious injury …

The only way the Rockets could offer Gerald Green a contract was to transfer Chris Clemons. But it would have been necessary to offer a round of Draft in addition, and the franchise prefers to keep its assets in hand.
