Danny Green gets all emotional after Cavs debut following whirlwind NBA trade deadline

To say that Danny Green was a busy man throughout the recently-concluded NBA trade deadline would be an understatement at this point. The 35-year-old was traded by the Memphis Grizzlies to the Houston Rockets on deadline day. The Rockets then decided to waive him, which eventually led to Danny Green signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers as a free agent.

Green made his Cavs debut on Wednesday in a 118-112 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, which also happens to be one of Green’s former teams. On Friday, the NBA journeyman took to Twitter to express exactly how he feels at this juncture in his career.

For starters, Danny Green sent out a heartfelt thank you message to the Grizzlies for the time he spent with the team:

Im always a little late but I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to the Memphis Grizzlies organization! Been nothing short of excellent since the day I was traded, did an amazing job with my rehab and getting me back on the floor…..

to the fans THANK YOU for embracing me the short amount of time I had been there, really made me feel at home. Coaching staff, I learned to much in such a short span, hope to work with you guys again one day!

And to my Teammates, Love y’all boys man! Wishing y’all nothing but the best, y’all my brothers/family now for life!

Green then turned his attention to Cavs fans as he expresses just how delighted he is to come full circle. Green started his NBA career with the Cavs many years ago, and he’s just happy to be back:

CLEVELAND!!! I’m BACK!!! Was a surreal moment putting that jersey on again lastnight! Hopefully another special journey to come! Let’s get it!

Finally, Green also sent a special message for the Sixers and the Philly fans who welcomed him back with open arms when their team hosted the Cavs at the Well Fargo Center on Wednesday night:

And to the City, the fans, organization of Philadelphia! Truly humbled by all the Love you showed me lastnight! Im glad I healthy in time to step on that floor again! THANK YOU!

Green definitely took the time to share his thoughts and innermost feelings after what turned out to be quite a whirlwind for him over the past week or so. Right now, though, the 13-year veteran is focused solely on the Cavs as he looks to make an impact on this young squad. He’s no star, but Danny Green’s wealth of experience is something Cleveland can certainly benefit from this season.
