Willie Green still hopeful to return this season..
Quote:
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Free-agent guard Willie Green remains optimistic that he can return to the Philadelphia 76ers this year after suffering a knee injury that cost him a $20 million contract. "I'm definitely convinced, just from the hard work, the rehab, the talking to the doctors, and not trying to rushing anything," Green said after Thursday's practice. "I'm definitely convinced March, April, I still have a good chance of playing."
The 6-foot-2 guard was scheduled to sign a $20 million, six-year contract, but he injured his knee in a summer pickup game. While contract terms were reached, the deal was never signed.
In two seasons with the 76ers, Green averaged 7.3 points and 1.4 assists. He was drafted in the second round in 2003 by Seattle and acquired by Philadelphia in a draft-night trade.
Green returned to the Sixers practice facility and shot some free throws and worked out with the team. He said it felt good to be back around his teammates and see some familiar faces.
"Just being able to come in and see the guys, come back and talk to everybody was good for me," he said. "Saturday when I'll leave, I'll just go back and start rehabbing again. It's just motivation for me to want to come back even stronger."
Green said his knee is about 75% recovered, and he vowed to return before the end of the season. Green doesn't know if he'll get that big contract offer again.
"I have to get healthy and everything else will take care of itself," he said. "Every time something like that happens, you just have to understand it happens for a reason."

Re: Willie Green still hopeful to return this season..
Not even an MVP candidate in Allen Iverson? Or a Suprisingly Healthy and strong Chris Webber, Indiana did ask for Andre Iguodala, Sammy D, and K-square. So I guess General Mangers would WANT players from Phil.
