ANALYSIS: Charania added that there’s expected to be strong mutual interest between Green and the Nuggets on a new deal in free agency, but the 7-year NBA veteran will have other suitors in free agency too. Green had averages of 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game for the Nuggets this season.
