According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, Green is now available on the trading block.

Via Sidery: "The Hornets are open to trading Josh Green, who they acquired last summer from the Mavericks.

Green had a down year, but the 24-year-old has strong bounce back potential on a contending team.

Green will make $13.7 million, then become a $14.7 million expiring contract in 2026."
