Brooklyn Nets forward Gerald Green is expected to be on his way out of New York, as his explosion back into the NBA likely drove his price too far above what the maxed-out Nets are able to pay a mere rotation player.

The Bulls met with Green over the weekend, but it doesn't appear as if Chicago made an offer, or at least not a serious one.
