NBA signings: Veteran Green re-ups with Rockets

Multiple reports pegged the deal as a one-year, $2.4 million pact.

Green, 32, is a Houston native who has played for eight NBA teams over his
13-year professional career, which includes stops overseas. He signed a 10-day
contract with Houston on Dec. 28 and remained on the roster for the remainder
of the season.

"We have a lot of unfinished business," Green told the Houston Chronicle of
his reason for returning to the Rockets. "I don't like to start something and
quit. We're trying to get this ring. I'm going to do anything I can. I want to
be a part of it."

In 41 games with Houston last season, Green averaged 12.1 points and 22.7
minutes per game.

--The Los Angeles Lakers officially signed guard Lance Stephenson and center
JaVale McGee, the team announced.

The Lakers did not disclose terms of the contracts, but multiple reports have
Stephenson's deal worth $4.5 million for one year and McGee earning the league
minimum for one year.

Stephenson played in all of the Indiana Pacers' 82 regular-season games last
year, making seven starts. He averaged 9.2 points, 2.9 assists and 5.2
rebounds while playing 22.6 minutes per game. McGee, meanwhile, averaged 4.8
points and 2.6 rebounds in 65 games (17 starts) with the Golden State
Warriors.

The Lakers also announced the signing of 6-foot-8 guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk,
chosen in June with the 47th overall pick the draft.

--The Denver Nuggets announced the signing of forward Torrey Craig to a
multi-year contract.

The deal is for two years worth $4 million fully guaranteed, according to
multiple reports.

Craig was a restricted free agent after receiving a qualifying offer from the
Nuggets last month. He worked his way from the G League up to Denver's roster
in December and went on to average 4.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.1 minutes
per game in 39 appearances (five starts).
