Danny Green's defense :wow

[siraulo23]

Arguably the best CP3 defender on the Spurs, i mean CP3 got absolutely shut down on pick and rolls

Green on Paul Kawhi on Reddick :wow

Spurs pretty much played flawless defense the whole 48 minutes, 2014 Finals like defensive performance :cry

[spurraider21]

same formula as the warriors. green on Curry and kawhi on klay

[FkLA]

but he sucks when he's not hitting shots :cry

[Raven]

yeah, we ain't keeping him after this year :cry

[Mugen]

but he sucks when he's not hitting shots :cry

:lol it's crazy how Pop still thinks this sometimes.......

Beli has actually played pretty well this series but I'd still rather have Danny in there every single time even if it's just for his defense....

[Malik Hairston]

Sucks that the national media has caught on to his defensive ability, like Reverend Jackson said tonight..he even mentioned Danny's impending free agency, too..$$$..

[siraulo23]

Most spurs fans know D green is one of the best perimeter in the NBA period, but IMO he doesnt get enough credit from the media

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

yeah, we ain't keeping him after this year :cry

Spurs have more than enough between the cap and luxury tax to resign both Green and Leonard and that would even after signing a max player. Only have 33 mil committed to salaries next season.

Really ignored in the DPOY consideration . '(

Dude gonna get paid tbh

he's a free agent, not a restricted one.. i'm not sure it's the pop way tbh.

[siraulo23]

thats the only negative tbh but it is what it is, i hope he stays as a Spur

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Teams can go over the cap to resign their own players. Unless someone gives him +10mil a year deal, he won't be leaving. Green is a system player offensively and those players usually don't get huge deals. I see the Spurs resigning him on an 40 mil 5 year deal.

[milkyway21]

Green could be somebody who can help Anthony Davis. IMO

I mean of course I want him to be a Spur again but somebody like him can be the Pelican's missing piece

[Malik Hairston]

I'd be shocked if he isn't back with the Spurs, tbh..It's not like they won't pay him, they gave Tiago a bunch of money to play a similar frontcourt role..

After Wes Matthews' injury, the only other 3andD guys that are comparable are Ariza, Carroll, Middleton(maybe going to get the max, according to many)..Spurs won't let that get away..

so you are among those who believe danny doesn't get 10M per year.. if only :lol

[siraulo23]

Pop yells at Danny Green any time he makes a minor mistake on defense because pop knows he's capable of near perfect defensive performances like tonight tbh :tu

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

so you are among those who believe danny doesn't get 10M per year.. if only :lol

If ariza only got 7 mil, what makes you think Green will get more. Green can't create his own shot, is a decent passer, and an average ball handler. Redick, the offensive version of Green is only making 7 mil. Tony Allen makes less. Seeing the trend I don't see a team overpaying for Green, which over 10 mil a year, they would be doing.

Times have changed in the metrics era, tbh..

Players that create for themselves but don't give you anything on D are no longer desired ..somebody like Jamal Crawford, for instance, he's heavily disliked by new-media analysts..front offices are full of progressive stat geeks now, too..

[Brazil]

Spurs will do all they can to keep him that's a given. Price will be probably quite high tho but he is worth all effort FO can put on the table

[milkyway21]

Danny & Duncan patiently carried the Spurs in the early months of this season ..while the other Spurs were recuperating injuries. .

How many steals he has tonight..3? That was so impt. Completely broke Clipper's drives

[apalisoc_9]

I would be so pissed if Danny is not playing for the spurs next year...
danny and Kawhi is the best wing combo in the league.

[Splits]

Green will fetch 10m+ and the Spurs will give it to him

[ironman2886]

Same here. Spurs will pay this man. They paid Bonner to tour the country and eat sandwiches.

Me too.

They will be here if you promise to the front office you limit your KaWhi threads.. :lmao

You forgot Manu. Averaged 15 ppg in December.

[Stabula]

Danny Green will come back next year at 7 million a year

[Nathan89]

[Malik Hairston]

He'll get 9 per from the Spurs IMO..

[will_spurs]

They paid Bonner to tour the country and eat sandwiches.

They paid Bonner $10 million a year? Bonner maxxed out at $4 million a year (for one year!) and that was for being a perfect cog in the Spurs system as a 3-pt sharpshooter.

Green was in the spotlight during the 2013 Finals but since then I'd say his reputation has lowered, hopefully to a point where he gets paid around $7-8 million a year. I don't remember teams overpaying perimeter defenders... Now of course if he plays a huge, visible role in the playoffs this year, it could make things a bit more complicated.

[99 Problems]

We looked after Danny and gave him a nice little contract last time. He has improved surprising very few people. When we sit back at the table I think he will remember the faith RC & Pop had.

Seems like a Spurs-lifer IMO..

He was pretty much the mouth piece for last year's title team, doing media tours:lol..

[cd021]

This. As apalisoc_9 mentioned, put Parker on Barnes and dare them to try and exploit it in the post. If they go at him, they can send Duncan if he tried to go into the middle of the lane.

[cd021]

If they use move Mills and clear out a [and use] max contract, then they would likely go past the luxury tax. Leonard's max starts at $15.4 million ( i think) and Green will easily make more than $7.6 million ( his cap hold) probably starts out at $8-9 million. They would have at least $80 million the luxury tax is projected to be $81.6 million

I think nobody would be counting salaries if Spurs were going for 3peat.

that's not really an apal original... its exactly what we saw in 2013 :lol

[cd021]

Parker guard Curry most chunks of the first two games of this season. Green guarded both Barnes and Thompson Leonard did as well. In other words Pop hasn't really done that strategy consistently. Also a different offense and coaching staff. Jackson specifically went at Parker and Neal with Barnes and Jarret Jack to mixed results.

Oops.sorry Manu too.

The exploding salary cap would make the pain one year on the luxury tax.

It will be interesting what the Spurs do and how deep they dig.This is going to set the table for the ability to compete for the next 5-7 years and they only have to look at OKC to see what one bad money-saving trade can do to your ability to win a ring.
