MEMPHIS—With the NBA trade deadline looming Thursday and the Raptors in the centre of the speculative fervour accompanying the approach of the occasion, it was good timing to run into Danny Green. As a 13-year NBA veteran, the former Raptor knows a few things about the machinations of player movement.
Sunday’s Raptors-Grizzlies game here at FedEx Forum — a gutty 106-103 Toronto win — was only Green’s second appearance of this his 13th professional season. After spending the bulk of the year rehabbing from knee surgery, Green provided six points in 19 minutes off the bench for the home side.
