Green was the 18th player selected overall in the 2005 NBA Draft, but midway through his career, he spent two years playing overseas in a Russian league. During his NBA career, his greatest claim to fame was winning the NBA Slam Dunk competition.
Green recently completed a three-year contract that had paid him $3.5 million a year, the latter two seasons coming as a member of the Phoenix Suns. During the 2014-15 season, he averaged 11.9 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, numbers that were down from his first season with the Suns.
With the Heat, Green is expected to be a scoring option for Erik Spoelstra off the bench.
