[GusT15]

how did he bait you so easily?..Nono probably didn't even watch a second of that game:lol

Well he pops up once every 3 months nowadays,i don't want him to feel neglected whenever he decides to do his guest star troll cameo.
:downspin:

[GusT15]

It's not about trolling. They just didn't watch the games.

I know,but I did watch the games YGWHI! It was marvelous watching Nephew fail and lose homecourt like that,wouldn't you agree?

[exstatic]

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 most certainly did OPT IN to an additional year last summer, and because he did that, he was THEN traded by the Spurs. Try to keep up, short bus, and while you're at it, sharpen those comprehension skills. Opting in and being traded are not mutually exclusive events.

Gosh, you're a stupid twit. You seriously don't have a brain cell to call your own.

You are actually arguing that the Spurs wouldn't have traded Danny if he had already left. And you think you're being clever.

Gosh, you're stupid. You just don't have anything going for you, do you?

You lack any critical or analytic thought. Saying that they traded him BECAUSE he opted in is NOT the same as saying they wouldn't have traded him if he left. They wouldn't have needed to, BECAUSE HE LEFT.

Let me explain this to you in terms that you might understand. OTOH, you're pretty fucking dense.

1) The Spurs were done with him, and ready to move on. His play had slipped over a period of 3 years or so.
2) He opted into his deal for this season before his deadline date last summer. Not what the Spurs wanted.
3) Not wanting him any more, the Spurs included him in the Kawhi deal. If he hadn't opted in, it would have been either Patty or Pau.

Gosh, you're a moron. You have a head full of pillow stuffing.

Go back and look at how this started. Moron.

And then try again. And try to follow along. Moron.

There was no idea at the time Green re-signed that he would be part of any trade. Green played quite a bit of SF in Leonard's absence, but you're probably too mentally limited to remember that, and Green was expected to take over at SF, on the assumption Leonard was leaving.

Green's play had not slipped, you ignorant cluck. His 3pt % was lower, but he scored more pts on average than the previous season, and he was second on the team in blocked shots behind Aldridge.

Are you following any of this, moron?

Green did not re-sign with the Spurs in the expectation he would be traded. Moron.

If Green had thought he'd be playing someplace else, or if he'd had any hint of that, he'd have gone free agent so he'd at least have had some control over his destination. You stupid fool.

Are you able to follow any of this at all? Moron.

I'm sure Danny didn't know, but the Spurs did. He played SF out of literal desperation, and the result was ugly, both position wise, and the fact that it was the worst Spurs season in 20 years, and the end of the 50 wins streak.

Green's play had not slipped, you ignorant cluck. His 3pt % was lower, but he scored more pts on average than the previous season, and he was second on the team in blocked shots behind Aldridge.

His last three seasons: points 7.2 7.3 8.6; 3G%s .332 .379 .363 . The three seasons before that: points 10.5 9.1 11.7; 3G%s .429 .415 .418. Moron. His game had dropped off a cliff.

Got one right. I'm sure it was a surprise to him.

If Green had thought he'd be playing someplace else, or if he'd had any hint of that, he'd have gone free agent so he'd at least have had some control over his destination. You stupid fool.

No one was going to pay him the $10M he had coming on an opt in. That's why he did it.

What's your source? I always thought Danny opted in because the $$$ was tight that summer? Why else opt into a team with an injured pg and SF? Also why are you trying to minimize fathead as the best SF for the Spurs 2017-2018 season.


Being traded was an absolute boon to Danny in getting minutes, playing on a higher ceiling team. People act like he was stabbed in the back.


Finally, Danny is a nice player but he's not the missing piece this team needs. If he were, he can resign here next year. But it won't happen because the Spurs have too many guards.

Danny was also rehabbing an injury in the offseason. Another good reason to opt in.

We didn't retire Chuck Person's jersey so no.

We didn't retire Chuck Person's jersey so no.

LDN>>>>>>Person, tbh.

LDN made an all-defensive team with the Spurs.

He won a Championship with the Spurs.

Made the most 3 pointers in a Finals series with the Spurs (later broken by Curry but still notable) and made so many that even TP complained about him making them lol.

Should've won a title in 13 with the Spurs if it wasn't for Load Management's missed free throws

LDN has been through a lot with the Spurs and meant alot more to the franchise than Person.

Person was ROTY and drafted as the 4th pick.

Person also held the record before Green broke it.

I think it's an apt comparison, but no one thought of Green as anything but a complimentary player.

Bruce is actually considered to be a part of the "Big 4" and deserved for his jersey to be retired. Green was never in the same league, and his defense aside from shot blocking was overrated.

He defended Lebron well in the Finals, and I will give him credit for that.

After the 4 years 48 million contract, Green's offense regressed, while he improved on his shot blocking.

Based on his tenure right now, I would say there is a 0% chance he gets his jersey retired.

[8FOR!3]

We shouldn't have retired Avery and Bruce's jerseys tbh. They absolutely deserve to be remembered and played a major part in Spurs history and I'm sure they deserved some sort of ceremony after retiring. But I think the only players that deserve to have their jerseys retired in my lifetime so far are David and the big 3.

Seems like a good trade-off for a ring, the only one in their franchise history. I'm sure they make that trade 11 times out of 10 even with the knowledge that Nephew/DG are gone :lol

[Drom John]

Current FiveThirtyEight Raptor WAR

#125 0.3 Kyle Anderson, Kent Bazemore, Patrick Beverley, Avery Bradley, Thomas Bryant, Willie Cauley-Stein, Jae Crowder, Damyean Dotson, PJ Dozier, Danny Green, Jeff Green, Tyler Herro, Dejounte Murray, Kelly Olynyk, Chris Paul, Dwight Powell, Cam Reddish, Josh Richardson, Domantas Sabonis, Ben Simmons, Jae'San Tate

[exstatic]

Danny is always feast or famine. He’s basically a 40% 3 point shooter, but if he took 5 shots every game, he would almost never shoot 2-5. It would be 4-5, followed by 0-5, time after time.

[KingKev]

[TDomination]

agreed! i personally thought it was a colossal mistake trading him to toronto with kawhi. talk about losing your 2nd best defender.

i loved hearing the fans chant "Danny! Danny! Danny" when the raptors came to SA the year they got traded. Then followed up a chorus of BOOOOOS! for KL haha

[Sugus]

Yeah, for sure. The Raptors winning that ring forever cemented SA as the losers of that trade, even if Keldon turns into an All-Star kind of player. You do that trade every single time, tbh.

[Atl Spur]

He'll be 35 over the summer
So if significant structural damage your talking a year plus out.
Might be the end of very good career

One of my favorite Spurs.

Sucks for DG...he was a great success story with the Spurs and also collected another ring with Benedict Arnold, but he probably didn't ask to be traded.

Great career. I hope he doesn’t end in this note, but it would be worse if he tried to come back and was completely washed. He was playing well when he went down, which makes it tragic because I think he had something still in the tank and wouldn’t have wanted to retire just yet.

In a way it reminded me of Tony’s injury in the playoffs in 2017. He was having an Flashback-retro Tony Parker postseason when his hamstring snapped in half. He was never the same again.

Tony blew out his quad. It was a very rare injury. IMO worse injury that what Kawhi had yet Tony came back quicker despite being older than Kawhi. I think that is another reason the Spurs players and staff were unhappy with Kawhi sitting out.

As for Danny, darn, that looked bad. I hope he is OK and it's not as serious as it looked.

Gotta be the end for him, right? There's no way he plays a single game next year. Meaning he'll be well into his 36th year going into the 23-24 season and coming off an acl injury.

[KingKev]

Damn. He has kept his body in great shape and never really relied in athleticism but that’ll be tough to rebound from. His last year looks to be non guaranteed but not listed as a team option, regardless prayers up.

[BatManu20]

Honestly I thought he’d have multiple torn ligaments so as shitty as that is, it could’ve been worse. Hopefully he heals up makes a return. Turns 35 this Summer so it won’t be easy, but I think he’s got another season in him if he wants it bad enough.

That, plus if Brooklyn takes their pick this year instead of next, which it looks like they're doing, we can leverage their 2023 FRP in the offseason after the 2022 draft is done. That resets the Stepien clock, and their next obligated FRP isn't until 2025.

ACL injuries usually happen with other injuries. Typically with MCL and meniscal injuries as well (unhappy triad). Think of a football player getting hit on side of knee or skiing injury.

[exstatic]

I stand corrected. JRich actually is a solid 3 and D.

He's an upgrade to the point where he can probably pick up most of Maxey's scoring if they need him to. He's much more than a catch and shoot guy, and he can dribble better than an elementary schooler. We would also be eating Green's $10M, possibly stretching it. That costs assets, too.

No Maxey is better and younger than JRich. That trade does nothing for Philly.

To make it even less likely. They won’t guarantee him out of loyalty so option declined, remain over the cap and use the MLE to replace him while keeping Maxey who is already a WAY better prospect than anyone on the Spurs.

[Chinook]

OK, the guarantee date is 1 July. Anyone know if after Brooklyn makes the Philly on draft night pick if the Stepien clock is reset immediately? Can we do this later in the draft?

The clock resets immediately, but Philly isn't giving up an unprotected first for Richardson. Also they'd have to guarantee Green to trade him. Good for Danny. Not great for the Spurs.

Basically you can't use unguaranteed money to match anymore. The trading team can only count the guaranteed amount while the receiving team has to count the whole thing. Basically makes trades impossible.

And Philly owes a 2025 pick to Brooklyn I think. If so, the 2023 pick has to convey or expire in 2023.

The problem I have with Ex static trades is that they are so unrealistic as to not be worth considering...

Reports now saying it is multiple torn ligaments, the ACL and LCL.

Ah fuck. Yea that might be a career honestly. Hope I’m wrong, but that’s a 9-12 month recovery (the ACL is the more severe tear obv and what takes so long), and who knows what those knees will look like at almost 36 years old, esp for a guy who had already lost a step the past couple years. Tough for Verde man. He was a great Spur for a long time. Sucks.

Sometimes. I don't think a moderately protected first to turn an injured Green into a healthy Richardson is absurd. People have speculated that Philly might well guarantee him to use his contract for trades. I just think he was hoping the Spurs could move Richardson and keep their cap and that Philly had a free first to deal. It's unrealistic for those reasons but I've seen lopsided trades beyond that on many forums.

Enough Rivers, Morey and Harden schadenfreude
Although to be honest I can't get enough

Chapeau bas Danny Green
Twice cut now 3X NBA champ
Also NCAA champ.
3 of your college teammates where drafted in the first round before you where drafted in the second round and all have had forgettable NBA careers

Hats off Danny great career tbh.. helped by the fact opponents were letting him wide open

:bobo

[SPURt]

Thanks for the memories Danny, big piece of the beautiful game. He has nothing left to prove, had a great career.

[daslicer]

Crazy he and the Admiral made similar amount from salary in their careers.

If you adjust for inflation Drob made around 160-180 mil in todays money total.

[Ignazzz]

We dont have assets for Maxey. 76ers will not make deal Maxey for #8 so for JRich is nonsens at all.
from Ers perspective. In Philly Maxey has higher value than Keldon

Fair point.

I believe his second year at 10M is a team option. They ain’t picking that up. I think it’s time to move on D Verde. Great playing career. 3 NBA titles and 1 College championship making 100+ million in gross salary.

It's not a team option. It's non-guaranteed. In this situation, that distinction matters. What it means to be "non-guaranteed" can change depending on the situation. The highest level of guarantee is guaranteed "for lack of skill". That's basically guaranteed for anything that's not like going to prison and having your contract voided. Most NBA contracts are guaranteed like this as a matter of course. But you can also have a guarantee for injury specifically. It's possible Green's contract has that guaranteed, but because it didn't have the higher guarantee, it wasn't reported that way. I hope so for his case, because the CBA says non-guaranteed contracts are only guaranteed for injury during the current season. So he picked one of the worst times possible to get hurt.

[BatManu20]

Fucking Embiid unnecessarily flopping all over the place. Was only a matter of time before he hurt somebody. Dude is way too big for all that bullshit. Never seen a player fall as much as he does. Ever.

Why Danny Green sound like Drake after two tequila shots LOL

[KingKev]

Green says he will be back by AS break and he won’t let this be the end.

76ers have till July 1 to guarantee his contract.

He has great optimism but nobody comes back from an ACL tear in less than a year. It has never been done before at least in basketball.

Spencer Dinwiddle just did it this past season in roughly nine months tbh. Doubt Green is back that soon considering his age and the severity of his tear (both ACL and LCL) but there have been several players who have come back in less than a year.

I think Spencer's ACL was a partial tear. Is Danny's a full tear or partial tear?

Full tear but the recovery time is the same for either tbh.

[KingKev]

Apparently Green’s contract is now partially guaranteed with the trade and Memphis plans to guarantee him. Would love to see him get healthy and contribute to their playoff run next year!!
