What happened: Green will soon officially sign the one-year agreement. His One-Year Bird status would otherwise carry automatic consent rights on a trade.
Why it matters: The waiver preserves the club's ability to move his expiring contract without approval. A 15% trade kicker would compensate Green if he is dealt.
By the numbers: The kicker could equal roughly $4.2 million if calculated against the full $27.7 million salary, subject to NBA limits and the remaining base salary when a trade occurs.
What to watch: The official signing is the next step before the 2026-27 season.
