Church of Danny Green

[Shabazz]

Kinda feel like his teammates screwed Danny outta something special tonight. Leonard could have had something special tonight too, now that I think about it.

[timtonymanu]

Really the only Spur that came to play tonight. But I hope he doesn't go cold at home.

[therealtruth]

Wasted one of DG's best performances.

[Chinook]

One of? That was THE best performance Green's ever had. He actually outplayed James most of the game. Danny looked like a legitimate starting two-guard (and hell, even a legitimate small-forward). It's a shame the stars didn't step up.

[Budkin]

Green was awesome... we should have just run every play for him. If even one of the big 3 had played well and we cut the TOs in half we'd be up 2-0.

[milkyway21]

Had we(Spurs) won the game, Green would be in the headlines tonight :(

[milkyway21]

I am declaring myself a member of the church of Green. Not because of his dance moves, not only because of his 3s, but the guts to give his all in game 2 in this finals match up vs Miami, when almost everyone around him besides Kawhi went cold as ice.

Now he's showing us he is worthy to start. Remember the team gave up SJax for him. He shut down Curry, I think he can help in the offensive here & stop Miami shooters not named LeBron too.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Somebody said church, I'mma need a suit!

Never doubt Verde!

Finals MVP so far.

Back in session for the fairweather crowd.

[timtonymanu]

I was always on the Green bandwagon.

He'll have games where he sucks, but he will always be a valuable piece for the team.

[HI-FI]

Dude seems to have more moxie this year. came up huge defensively again.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Motherfucking Verde, motherfuckers.

[Robz4000]

I know this Knicks team is pretty terrible, but Green gonna allow Tim, Tony, Manu, and Kawhi to sit the 4th.

[tim_duncan_fan]

He's pouring it in right now. Let the Church say amen!

[TXstbobcat]

Nice double double for green today!

[dabom]

I'm surprised this wasn't bumped after the finals. Great defense the entire finals especially against Wade.
Like RAVEN said. He needs more minutes especially if he is going to be our best shooting guard after Manu retires.
I'm tired of him getting benched for missed assignments even when Marco can't play defense for chit.
Yeah he makes some dumb turnovers, but I still feel confident when he is on the floor. Danny's offence is just a bonus at this point.
When his 3 is on, he pretty much opens the whole floor for the Spurs.

[therealtruth]

Great offense as well. The Heat didn't know he could put the ball on the floor and make plays. If he had that in his arsenal last year we would have been better off.

[SpursFan86]

Out of curiosity, what type of money do y'all think Green will get come next year? $6-7 million/year? More? Hopefully teams don't start noticing how great he is defensively.

[RD2191]

I heard analyst say how he isn't known for his defense a couple of times this year. DG is arguably a better defender than Kawhi. Lol @ how people get paid to talk basketball when they don't know shit about it.

[Taking it to the Hole]

I was surprised at how much Danny put the ball on the floor and drove to the basket these past Finals. I don't think anyone saw that dimension to his game. If he can develop a slash and kick element to his game it will keep defenders from camping out at the 3 pt line. I truly hope he consistently plays the way he did in the Finals this whole next year. Kawhi looks like he is going to reap the benefit of most of the iso sets but Green can be a solid #3 option behind Kawhi and Manu.

[Chinook]

Green would probably get offers like Korver's current deal, with maybe a slight increase for inflation. He may stay with the Spurs for less, though.

He did close the season with some good all around play. I owe him a public apology for making fun of a floater he threw up while flying down the lane...I seem to remember he landed in front of the ball...it fell on his heel behind him...rolled out of bounds...knocked over a beer causing an electrical fire that killed everyone in the AT&T center. Then if he didn't come out an have a great offensive game without making a single 3, or maybe 1.

[SpursFan86]

Green would probably get offers like Korver's current deal, with maybe a slight increase for inflation. He may stay with the Spurs for less, though.

I'd personally be thrilled if we could lock Danny down on a 4 year/$24 million deal. Anything less than that would almost make me feel bad.

[hooperflash]

An amatuer source who usually reports Spurs news correctly has recently said that Danny Verde might change his number to be his beloved #14 (maybe it's been stated already and I overlooked it). What do you think he should do if this is true? Keep the number he has worn in both his finals or should he consider his 3 years settling for #4 over and snatch the number he feels is meant for him to wear?

I cant believe how fucking garbage Danny was in the league till we got our hands on him. He went from out of the league to starter and possible Finals MVP in 2013, its really incredible

[Chinook]

Danny didn't really suck in Cleveland. His per-36 stats were 13/5/2/2/1. Pretty close to his current stats. He just didn't shoot threes as well and played very little. Cleveland was stacked at wings back then, although Green turned out to be better than any of the others. So they cut him after training camp.

Green also did really well in the d-league, forming nice back-court combos with Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak of all people. He averaged 21/7/3 per game.

While it's true Green fits very well into the Spurs' system, it's not true that he sucked everywhere else.

He got cut three times lol

[therealtruth]

That left handed and-one on Lebron was special. No wonder the Heat didn't know what hit them. They had to guard everybody.

[Shabazz]

He got cut three times lol

and Jordan got cut from his high school varsity team. Sometimes coaches make dumb decisions on who to cut... and sometimes players deserve to get cut, they work hard, and they become better players.

Getting cut 3 times made Danny work harder. I think there was an article I read about how Pop and Roy Williams had a phone conversation with Danny about altering his professional routines, and it really hit home to Danny that he needed to make some changes. He also really appreciated the fact that Pop and Roy Williams cared enough to go the extra mile in helping his succeed in the league. I think you will see Danny return that loyalty to Pop the next time he is looking for a new contract.

I also did not like when Pop yanked him back in 2012 WCF vs Thunder after game 4.Panic move.

A lot of that is true, but it is not necessarily what he took issue with. It is that Chinook says that Danny Green was "always" good. The previous poster disagrees. I, previously disagreed with that statement. Danny is awesome. Much improved. A better player. That's why the conversation you mention was even necessary, Danny needed to improve. Chinook uses his PER numbers to say he's just about as good now as he ever was. He was "always" a good player, but then dismissively states, in passing, under his breath, almost, that well, yeah, his shooting percentage has come up...

I dunno, shooting percentage is KINDA a big deal. Especially for a 3 and D guy. Otherwise, you're just a D guy. Danny Green was not as good a player as he is now...and the fact that he was cut three times can't be dismissed. He shoots more efficiently, and he also has probably matured defensively, etc. Using the Michael Jordan example is a little unfair. That was high school. Michael...wait for this shocker...probably wasn't as good a basketball player in high school vs. his peers as he was in college and the pros. Michael's high school coach may have even made the right decision, no matter how salty Jordan is about it. It may have been the impetus to give rise to a college and pro player not deserving to be cut. High school kids are not all on the same rate of biological maturity. I grew five inches after high school and saw a guy, physically superior to me throughout my youth, at the hardware store. Short and pudgy, just a few years later. High school is a crap shoot.

Green got cut as an adult pro three times. Just a little different. But, using his PER and minimizing that he had to take more shots from the arc, at least, to get those 13 points is a problem. Daye shot a better percentage from 3 and had 13.5/6.5/1.8/1/1 his first two years in the league. Not significantly different numbers. Never got cut, only traded, and Danny's early career was touted over Daye's, by Chinook when they aren't significantly different in those first two years...Danny was a little better in some areas for his position, granted, but his shooting percentage was lower from 3 for both of their first two years, than Daye's. Chinook defends Danny's early career over Austin's, but it just doesn't bear out as being significantly better. Also granted, he is a little bit of a Daye optimist, like myself, but he definitely has a high opinion of Danny in those early years. Maybe a little higher than I think is deserved. Danny wasn't total garbage, but I totally understand the poster's confusion when Chinook says that Danny was always good. Danny had issues early on, he was just lucky enough to find his way to San Antonio early. Daye had to work his way down the ladder before The Spurs could afford to gamble on him. Green was already in the bargain bin from the get-go.

What a Spurs fan had to say about Danny's fan meet up in Corpus ..


Danny Green doesn't keep his word to his fans who he kept waiting for hours upon hours. Little kids waited patently to get his autograph only to get disappointed and left empty handed. All because he arrived there 3 hours late.

The whole thing was a mess! Green showed his true colours tonight by showing up late and having what looked to be an attitude. Seriously dude, get over yourself and be courtesy of others. Don't act like a complete asshole and act like its not a big deal.

Cabron! SMH

[Ice009]

Wow. Not happy to read that about Green. It seems like he does have a bit of an attitude. I mean, I guess he does if Pop had to cut him and then call his former coach up to talk to him about having the wrong attitude and almost pissing away his opportunity in the league.

[exstatic]

So, one person on the internets posts THEIR interpretation of what happened, and you're ready to throw Danny under the bus? It was in Corpus. Maybe there was some sort of transportation issues, and that was what held him up and made him cranky.

Unreal.

Unreal.

Didn't Pop cut him originally because of attitude problems? If not, I may be wrong on that, but if he did, then what that person said isn't that hard to believe. Having said that, he also could be wrong and Danny may have had a legitimate excuse for being late and didn't want to talk about it, so the person in Corpus may have got it wrong too. If so, I apologize for jumping to that conclusion. I pretty much based it on people saying that he had a bit of an attitude earlier in his career.

[Prime Time]

Danny never struck me as a humble guy, just a typical basketball player trying to act humble. Hey, appreciate the effort at least.

With that said, acting like someone's an asshole for being late is straight up woman-esque.

Yeah, he's always been sort of cocky. Supposedly, Pop didn't like that Green didn't really seem to think he needed to work to be in the NBA. He's the team ham. But his teammates seem to like him, so it's not like he's a locker-room problem.

Danny was great last games. He was changing shots, blocking shots, and he's the best shot-blocking guard in the league.
Awesome effort/timing/ability.

Old article but I like Danny-Green-Rim-Protector

Green’s career block percentage – the rate of shots a player rejects per 100 possessions – of 2.2 is superior to the likes of Michael Jordan (1.4), Kobe Bryant (1.0) and even Dwyane Wade (2.1), widely regarded as perhaps the best shot-blocking guard ever. Indeed, according to Basketball Reference’s career list, his percentage is the best of any guard in NBA history.

[Malik Hairston]

Past 7 games: 7 steals and 16 blocks..

On the season, averaging 1.1 SPG and 1.4 BPG, so far in the small sample size..

It'll be interesting to see if he can maintain this pace all season..I don't think any guard in the modern era has ever done the 1 SPG/1 BPG in under 30 MPG IIRC..

[apalisoc_9]

I am fumining here, WTF is the point of playing Marco? the less time Green spends on the court, the more vulnerable the spurs are and more prone to runs..it's not like the italian adds a different dimension...WTF

20 minutes..WTF

danny should be playing no less than 26 minutes..

20 freaking minutes..are you kidding me?

[Malik Hairston]

I don't mind the minutes for Belinelli, he desperately needs to get in rhythm, he's literally useless if he can't make wide open 3s:lol..

[Brunodf]

:tu Green played very well in the last few games... Spurs will need him in December...

[Chinook]

People who think Leonard's been anywhere near the defender Green's been this year are crazy. Danny's been unreal so far. He's tied with Duncan in VORP despite not being a great rebounder or HoFer in general.

[milkyway21]

He's averaging 13 pts, 3 blocks in the last 4 games(since he was almost benched-> 25 min vs Cleveland), now he's rising. As if his spark is being ignited :lol

I find it amazing for the front office to see his talent while he was on the bench :D of Cleveland.

I don't think it's arguable, so far this year..

All his defensive metrics are elite, and 82 games.com(which has a flawed method, but still mostly accurate) has his opponent's PER at 6.7 and 9:wow..

It sucks for the Cavs and Clippers that they can't acquire Green, because he's exactly the player that they desperately need to fix their flaws and become the title favorites:lol..

[BackHome]

To me this year Danny is playing much better defense and he is finally hitting the outside shoot. The biggest thing I have notices is his ability to finish at the rim he is doing a great job of taking it to the rim and not loosing the ball or getting his shot blocked. He even seems to have worked on his dribble because he is not turning the ball over as much.....I hate comparing players but he is starting to remind me of Bowen..:)

[look_at_g_shred]

Danny Green is an elite defender and catch and shooter. That is not debatable. I love the damn guy so much :lol the things I've noticed this season are (additions to his game) the curl jumper and his drive and kick or pass (wonder if this was messinas call)

He's a far better player than Bowen ever was on the offensive side of the ball, and rapidly catching up on D. Bowen was almost exclusively a corner 3 point shooter, and I shuddered when he got run off the line and put the ball on the floor. Danny has always shot from the entire arc, but between the 11-12 and the 12-13 seasons, his range went from the arc to about 3 feet beyond the arc all the way around. He's just a cold blooded assassin that you can't leave open anywhere.

[spurraider21]

Not to mention his ability to pull up in transition or if defenders go under a screen. Offensively Bowen was like a smaller bonner who was limited to corners

There have been other wings that have done it recently(Kirilenko IIRC, and Wade probably did it), but not in under 30 MPG IIRC..if Green wasn't splitting minutes with Manu, he would easily hover around 1.5/1.5 IMO..

This. Danny's offensive game (even driving to the basket when run off the line) has improved dramatically. He was really the hero of Game 1 vs. the Heat last year. And his defense is nearly on par with Kawhi's if a little more limited in positions he can guard. Still with Green and Leonard, I honestly think we have the best pair of perimeter defenders in the league. Really hope we can resign Danny next summer.

Well, the other guy has elite defensive stats, too...even better according to them.

Often, people call other guys crazy just because they can't see the game from any perspective other than through their own eyes

Crazy is dismissive? Nah the guys who think that about Leonard are cool if they're called crazy, they're in good company and some good numbers supporting them.

3 steals and 1 block today:lol..

It looks like he has made significant improvements to his inside-the-arc game, too..the pick&roll pass, the drive&pass inside, the mid-range J and the floater..unfortunately, if he looks like this all season, that price tag is going to be expensive..

His metrics(which is what NBA front offices use more than anything nowadays) are all elite, NBA teams have scouts and a ton of tools in 2014, they're all fully aware, they don't use the opinions of mainstream "analysts"(the Barkleys and Millers) and casual fans:lol..

The only reason his price could be reduced is because of his age, since he's useless for teams that aren't aspiring contenders in win-now mode..I don't know the cap situation for other "contenders", but if a team like the Cavs has any cap space, they'll give him as much as possible IMO(especially since he's close with LeCoon)..

I think we'll probably see him and the Spurs agree on a fair deal IMO..

[SpursFan86]

Green has been nothing short of amazing this year defensively. I'm not sure there's anyone I'd rather have in transition tbh.

I do wonder what his price tag will look like. You have to imagine there will be lots of contenders going after him...he's basically the perfect role player and he'd fit in just about anywhere. A team like LAC could really use him. I really hope we can keep him though.

[Malik Hairston]

Well, looking at a few teams that he would help elevate and would fit well with:

- Atlanta(have to re-sign Millsap, and will probably choose to keep Caroll, a worse version of Green that will come cheaper)
- Cleveland(probably the most likely IMO..have to see what happens with Love/Lebron and when they inevitably trade Waiters this season)
- Indiana(a lot of contracts are finished this year, we'll see if they plan to contend again next year)
- Clippers(100% what they're missing, but they can't make it work with their cap situation IIRC)

Detroit would have been a possibility since Van Gundy is obsessed with spacing, but they already overpaid for Jodie Meeks..

New Orleans would work, too, but they have the massive Eric Gordon albatross:lol..

So, the competition works in favor of the Spurs..Cleveland seems to be the only team that could challenge, unless a random team overpays IMO..

[midnightpulp]

Hopefully the Spurs worked their mind control voodoo and he pledges allegiance to the organization (cult) for the rest of his career, while of course being paid under market value :cooldevil

[SpursFan86]

Would Cleveland have room? They have their big 3, Varejao (~$10 million next year), and then they'll have to make a decision on Tristan Thompson who could easily get $8-10 million/year even though he sucks.

Would be kind of shitty if he went there anyways considering they cut him back in the day...although I guess we did too :lol

[Malik Hairston]

I'm not a cap guy, Mel or Chinook could answer, tbh..

Just makes a lot of sense from a fit perspective(he's exactly what they're missing) and his relationship with James..

[milkyway21]

Green delivered again :tu

[Mel_13]

So, the competition works in favor of the Spurs..Cleveland seems to be the only team that could challenge, unless a random team overpays IMO..

They'll only have cap space if they let Love walk. Atlanta is in the best cap position of the teams you listed.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Danny Green is a straight up winner, point blank. Put him in the game and your chances of winning increase exponentially. Just makes plays.

Sucks that I missed this game, but glad it was a Verde type of game.

[Malik Hairston]

Interesting..the competition doesn't seem like it's going to be too strong then, should lead to a fair deal for the Spurs and Green, hopefully..

[SpurSwag]

Green has really turned into one of my favorite Spurs ever. we always talk about how leonard has been the difference in allowing us to get to the WCF, and then back to back finals, but Danny's improvement has been almost as important. Danny has won us playoff games, and several of them tbh, which is amazing production from a role player. Best 3 and D player in the league

[BackHome]

I think both of them need the Spurs:

For Kawhi if he goes to a team they will expect him to be a max player and if he doesn't deliver he will press and be worse. For him being with the Spurs they can let him stretch his wings and if he falls no problem other players will step up. If he goes to another team he is going to have to be upfront with the media which will not be nice if the team is loosing.

For Green he should now that bouncing from team to team is no fun. Also the fact that he is he type of player that needs a fire under his ass without hurting his ego which takes someone like Pop to be ale to pull off.

[BillMc]

pay the man, imo

Kevin Pelton in his chat just said he expects Danny to get an 8 figure contract. Can/will the Spurs pay that? And if not, can they keep him at a lesser price? 10 mil for Danny seems high, but the market may demand it, and we'd be a lot worse without the luxury of 2 great perimeter defenders. (Danny and Kawhi)

[Drom John]

Bill MC (Riga, Latvia)

Danny Green with be a FA this summer. Given his relationship with LeBron and the needs of the Cavs (defense) do you see them going hard after him? And could they pry him away from the Spurs? RC and Pop don't lose many people that don't want to let go.
Kevin Pelton (4:50 PM)

He'd be perfect for the Cavaliers, but the only way they could compete financially is a sign-and-trade involving Brendan Haywood's contract. And Green would have to tell the Spurs he was definitely leaving for them to consider that.

I haven't looked at the Spurs' cap situation, and I expect that to change drastically depending on whether Tim and Manu retire or not. But if you put Raymond Felton's gun to my head, I would say the Spurs will do their best to accommodate him.

:lol

8 figure deal. :lmao

[Chinook]

I do think the Spurs being able to offer a five-year deal may help them keep their APY down. I could see Green staying for a deal totaling between $35M and $45M. I just don't think any other team will pay Green more.

Danny's shooting has been incredible the last few games. Every time he puts it up you feel like it's going in.

The hammer play with the Manu hook pass off the backscreen for Danny is such a fun play to watch. He's made the last few of those.

Danny Green will be on First Take, coming up on ESPN2. They are set at Music Box in Cleveland. He'll probably talk Spurs but for sure he's talking about what adjustments the Warriors need to make in order to win the game tonight and keep the series alive.

[hooperflash]

Cites the injuries was the main factor in getting over the hump. He also notes that Tony was the engine of the team for the past two years so it took a toll on him and he wasn't himself this past year. When asked if he could've seen the Spurs in the finals versus the Cavaliers, he said if they were to have won the Clippers series he believes they would've been there. Stephen A. Smith hilariously added that he knows very well that the Spurs would've defeated the Cavs with or without Kyrie and Love :lol Cavs fans were cheering oto the idea Danny Green signing with the Cavs.

"If y'all come close [to the money], I'll come back." There was interest this offseason in Detroit, Toronto and Dallas.


Danny Green said #Spurs let him know their plan throughout the offseason. He said Pop made him feel involved, and it was a reason to return.


Danny Green on pressure: "My role doesn't change much at all. They don't expect me to go from what I was doing last year to an All-Star."


Danny Green said after being w/ LeBron & Shaq his rookie year he was surprised Pop was willing to ride Tim, Manu and Tony as hard as he did.

One thing I don't want to hear this year is how his defense makes up for the fact that he isn't shooting worth shit. LDN needs to come back hitting his 3's like he was in the playoffs. When he keeps chunking bricks, or making bad passes because he doesn't want to chunk another brick? It fucks with my happiness.

It would be even better if our starting 2-guard could make the occasional shot off the dribble. But I don't want to appear greedy.

Chips not going to alter something hes comfortable doing.. There have been several wrist shooters in the league and for all intents and purposes Greens mechanics are sound.. Is it a good way to shoot? Not really but it's subjective per person.. Miller had a weird shot, Bird had a weird shot, it's all about results.

Makes sense. I wonder if the subject has been broached though, between them. I mean- he's damn streaky and it would be nice to toss a little consistency into that shot of his.

This is why it was disheartening to see him make the all-defensive team. You just knew his slurpers were going to double down on the Danny worship, and they'll still defend him after this even though, like you said, they knock almost every single FA for not being Spurs material.

"Fucking snowflakes are just mad the camp wasn't what they expected :cry"

Yeah. It probably wasn't. They probably expected him to come to the camp and show some skills when he absolutely has none. :lol

Actually, it's more like, how about quotes that provide specific examples of his unprofessionalism? "He told me or my child...", "I heard him say...", "I saw that he...", or "My________told me he..." instead of these baseless claims?

What's worse is this is journalism. Create a narrative by embedding tweets that have no substance, other than an idiot waitress who's entitled. He only tipped $5. What was his tab? Wouldn't that be pertinent?

Look, I'm hoping the Spurs land Thompson in 2 years and I've been just as frustrated with his performance as anyone else but this "story" is complete bullshit.

So proud of Danny. :toast

[HarlemHeat37]

He's 2nd in the league in 3-point shooting, didn't realize he was that high..46%, Jesus:lol Spurs would be the 3rd best in the West with this year's version of Green IMO, but too bad he couldn't play the same way in this system anymore..

[timtonymanu]

Miss that guy

Too bad Pop wasn't willing to change a bit his late-full mid j offense to help Danny to find himself again.

[Dverde]

Good for D Verde. Help him get one more big contract.

[spurraider21]

i'll always have a soft spot for D-Leage Danny aka LDN

What system, he was bricking wide open threes when he was last seen in a Spurs uniform. Lets not forget how pathetic his performances were. Good for him that he found his shot again but thats about it.

'Tis but a warm up for the annual post-season disappearing act.

[RC_Drunkford]

the Raptors system is better suited for Danny. Danny is a catch and shoot guy. Having him play on the left floor why LA posts up made him put the ball on the floor way too often. That's also why his 3-point percentage fell off a cliff. On another note I think he would've played better on this years version of the team, cause they move the ball more than prior with Kawhi and Tony on the court

When Danny can take the pass flat-footed and step into the shot, he's a totally different shooter. When he has to turn and reach, and then get back to square before shooting, his percentage goes way down. Whatever plusses Tony had, he wasn't a spot-on passer. Patty either. It got worse after Tim left. Danny got a lot more real catch-and-shoot feeds this year.

I still think he's going to get that last big contract and then decline. You know... unless he agrees to come back and sign one more discount deal with the Spurs, just for old time's sake. Then he'll just decline. :D

[JeffDuncan]

Good for Danny. Glad to see him have a good year.

Good analysis..it's not even a knock on Aldridge and his system, some players just don't play well together, especially role players, since their success is so dependent on their surroundings..

[hombre]

Can't wait to have him back.

He was also carrying a groin injury most of last season.

[superbigtime]

Danny is damn good

Danny is damn good

...for the first time in four years

he was also motivated by being in a contract year.

yes but his 3-point % went down the seasons before already

[exstatic]

Exactly. It wasn't one season, it was three, which is why his fate was sealed (the trade) when he opted into his contract last summer.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Happy for Danny playing so well this season

[ZeusWillJudge]

That was because he spent so much time learning how to score off the dribble.

he only plays like this cause of kawhi on the floor same time as him, same with simmons

when these guys are on the floor with no other defensive perimeter player, they get exposed trying to defend or gamble defensively

[FkLA]

Smh still can't believe we threw him in like he was just some random trade filler.

[exstatic]

It’s exactly what he was. The level of revisionist history around here is astounding. Danny was roundly despised on this forum...right up until the moment he was traded. If you want to blame someone for him being included in the trade blame him. If he hadn’t opted in, it would have been Patty or Pau.

Danny did not "opt in." He was traded. He found out when he was told. His reaction was that he was "shocked."

You complain about revisionist history. Go look in the mirror.

He means opted into the final year of his contract. Danny opted in and the Spurs used his contract to make salaries work.

Pop would never trade his guy Patty and Masai wasn't stupid enough to touch Pau with a 100 foot pole. Masai really bent RC over a barrel with that trade, that really isn't debatable IMO.

[Dverde]

He did opt into his final year. His name was out there at last year’s trade deadline. Spurs probably wanted to much for him. If he was “shocked” Danny needs to get better situation awareness. His buddy Nephew was demanding a trade. Usually other players have to be included for the trade to happen.

[JeffDuncan]

... Masai really bent RC over a barrel with that trade, that really isn't debatable IMO.

Yes, it's debatable. Everything now is hindsight. At the time, the Raps had no guarantee Leonard would ever play a minute for them, no matter what any agreement said on paper. It looks better for them now because we know how it turned out.

If Green had continued the decline he was showing in SA, and Leonard had said screw Toronto, the Raps would have been talked about forever as the dumbest suckers in sports. But they got lucky.

You think Masai was clever. The truth is that he was lucky.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Danny and his Defense would be nice to have tonight.

[JeffDuncan]

So your argument is that the Spurs wouldn't have included Danny in the deal if he was already gone. You're a whiz.

Yeah, the Spurs would not have traded a player they didn't have. That's right.

Geez.

The reason Danny opted in is because he expected to stay with the Spurs. You're the one who needs situational awareness.

"Buddy??" You're also a lying dumpwad. When were they buddies? Did Leonard go out to clubs with Danny? Not that I ever heard. I don't think Leonard was buddies with any of the Spurs.

Yeah and I think realistically since he's the only one that really got along with Kawhi, it would have been him to be included in the trade. I can't imagine them including anyone else that he wasn't on good terms with

[K...]

The spurs looked at Danny and assumed he'd opt out and get $$$$. They obviously always liked him but had to cut $$ and were bringing in a SG in Derozan back. The FO made a decision to play young guys like lonnie, white and murray, then the injuries happened. It isn't rocket science that sometimes you have to let veterans go to develop players. If it weren't for the injuries and having to play Mills so much the strategy would be clearer. But we had injuries, Derozan had his ups and downs, and now we are here, with a a so-so backcourt.

We aren't a win now team obviously and can't afford to overpay role players. Mills is the last holdout.

[Chinook]

If you want to blame someone for him being included in the trade blame him. If he hadn’t opted in, it would have been Patty or Pau.

Green wasn't despised by any but his very dedicated haters. But I do think we all saw the limits of him in this current roster and were content to try something else. I was like the priest of Green's church on here, but I was cool with letting him walk this summer so Lonnie could move up. I also believe that White can do a lot of Danny's job on D while having a bit more potential on O (the shooting needs to be fixed). That said, I do believe most didn't like his inclusion in the trade at jump street. Saying that isn't revisionist history. The Spurs should have been able to get OG, Siakam and DeRozan for Leonard and Mills. That's just how much better Leonard was than DeRozan.

The trade as it happened has worked out okay, and it can be better if the pick ends up doing something helpful. But everything from including Poeltl instead of the other prospects, to taking Green over Mills or Pau to heavily protecting the pick to PATFO having to give the Raptors $5 Million just feels like Masai got everything he wanted during negotiations. You don't normally see superstar trades where the other team has to give up that much.

I know that since Manu retired,ElNono is basically a troll but even trolling has it's limits.Meaning you can troll when you actually know what you're talking about.When you don't know shit,your trolling is unsuccessful.

Augustin was guarded by Lowry and Vanvleet for the entire first half.He had 19 points.

Danny Green had to leave guarding TRoss and Fournier in the second half and focus on Augustin.

Augustin had 6 points in the 2nd half-that's including the game winning 3 on NEPHEW's head.He finished with 25.

Know your shit before trolling next time.:bobo
