Los Angeles Clippers are continuing to have a busy offseason. After getting Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the team now decided to address their roster depth and re-sign forward JaMychal Green to a two-year, $10 million deal.

According to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania, who first reported the deal, Green had far more lucrative offers on the table but turned them down in order to try and win an NBA championship with the Clippers.

Green joined the Clippers midway through last season, in a deal which sent Avery Bradley to Memphis Grizzlies. He ended up playing 24 games during the regular season in LA, averaging 8.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. His production increased in the playoffs, as he managed to average 11.0 points in a six-game first-round exit against the Golden State Warriors.

Although JaMychal Green is now an established veteran, his road to the NBA wasn’t an easy one. After going undrafted in 2012 NBA Draft, Green spent time in the D-League and overseas, before getting a chance to play with San Antonio Spurs in 2015. The Spurs released him after just four games, but he ended up landing with Memphis Grizzlies where he became one of the core members of the team’s famous “Grit and Grind” era.

Green’s averages over the course of the six years of his NBA career include 8.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game.

Grizzlies offered a contract to Green before July 1 but didn’t manage to make a substantial progress until recently. With the new deal, Green will make more than $8 million per year, which is one big jump compared to the $800 per week that he earned by playing in NBA Development League at the beginning of his career.

Playing college basketball for Alabama, JaMychal Green made First-team All-SEC (2011) and Second-team All-SEC (2012) selections, on top of being named McDonald’s All-American in 2008. Green declared for 2012 NBA draft but went undrafted. He joined the San Antonio Spurs for the NBA Summer League before being acquired by the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League. He played 44 games for Toros putting up some good numbers and averaging 12.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. In 2013 he played again in the NBA Summer League, this time for the Los Angeles Clippers. He was signed by the Clippers but then waived. Green also played in France for Chorale Roanne, appearing in 25 games in 2013–14 season and putting up some remarkable performances.

After failing to secure a multi-year deal with the Spurs once again, Green managed to get it from the Memphis Grizzlies. After a mediocre first season, Green developed into a productive bench player in his second year with the Grizzlies. The 2016-2017 season was Green making an even bigger progress, appearing in 77 games (75 as a starter), and averaging career highs in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals as well as 3-point and free-throw percentages.
