After playing in San Antonio for eight of his first nine NBA seasons, last year was Green's third straight year joining a new team (Toronto, LA Lakers followed by Philadelphia), and now he will be staying put for at least two more years. The 3&D specialist put up numbers that were quite similar to his career averages in his first year as a 76er - 9.5 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 1.7 apg, 1.3 spg on 40.5 3P%. The deal apparently does not include any player or team options as per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. 

No options on the two-year, $20M deal that will keep Danny Green with the 76ers, his agent Raymond Brothers of @RocNationSports tells ESPN.

It had previously been reported that Green was interested in returning to the Lakers to pursue another championship. Clearly the flurry of moves the Lakers have made since the opening of free agency didn't allow for Green's wishes to become a reality, leaving him to return to the 76ers.
