Erick Green: Signs two-year contract with Greek team
Green signed a two-year contract with Greek club Olympiacos last week, Sportando reports.
Green logged nine appearances between the Nuggets and Jazz last season, but wasn't able to stick around long with either team. With few NBA clubs likely interested in extending him a guaranteed contract this offseason, Green will opt to head overseas, where he'll enjoy more job security. His deal with Olympiacos could contain an opt-out clause that would allow him to return to the NBA if a favorable opportunity presents itself.

Nuggets' Erick Green: Released by Nuggets
Green was released by the Nuggets on Thursday, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.
The former Virginia Tech star played just seven combined minutes through the team's first four games, but Thursday's move comes in response to Denver's need for help in the frontcourt. Jusuf Nurkic, Joffrey Lauvergne and Nikola Jokic are all injured, leaving the Nuggets extremely shorthanded up front, and they'll reportedly add free agent Kostas Papanikolaou in Green's place. The 24-year-old Green could draw some interest from other teams, but his most likely landing spot is the D-League or a foreign league.
