According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, free agent and member of the reigning champions Toronto Raptors, Danny Green has agreed to terms of a deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.


 

In his first season with the Raptors, Green averaged 10.3 points per game on 45.5 percent shooting from 3-point range. The only player in the league to make a higher percentage of their 3-point attempts was Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris.

Green also came close to making an All-NBA Defensive Team for what would've been the second time in his career.

Green struggled with his shot in the playoffs, but he helped the Raptors with their first title with a number of timely performances along the way, such as when he scored 18 points on 6-for-10 shooting from the perimeter in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Green was both one of the best perimeter defenders  and shooters  in this free agency class.

Players can negotiate agreements with teams on Sunday, June 30 at 6:00 p.m. ET but contracts can't be officially signed until the new league year begins on July 6.
