After failing to secure a contract from the Chicago Bulls, fan-favorite forward Javonte Green is heading west to join the Golden State Warriors. Beloved by the Chicago faithful for his high-energy play and two-way impact on the court, Green will look to bring his game to a Warriors squad looking to add another championship banner.
