A bit premature to conclude that if you ask me . . .

[Nathan89]

That faggot Parker did this.

could green be the major piece for LMA?

[K...]

you know how apo titles his troll thread with a question to back out the conclusion? This is that..

basically, i trust Chinook over "league sources" and a tweet

The eve of FA and any other similar time period like the draft is lying time. Smart Spursfan understands that none of this is coming from the Spurs nor Green's camp.

It is very much in the interest for clubs to if nothing else to seem to be very active. Most franchises operate this way in order to build hype and reputation which helps to sell tickets. I just hope our ownership group is willing to eat some tax for one year before the balloon. It's classic buy low/sell high. This is going to be a much more efficient market compared to future years.

true - but in theory, how would green as a centerpiece, not tiago, work in SA benefit to lure LMA?

Danny to sign with the Milwaukie Bucks, you heard it first!

[RD2191]

If I were Green the only team I'd even consider leaving for is the Grizz. His defense would fit right in and they are desperate for his 3 point shooting.

I can see that, Blazers would take him in a heart beat too.

[TheGoldStandard]

He is better than OJ Mayo

[Dex]

Nothing but conjecture and speculation based off of the factors that have been discussed here ad nauseam. The writer of this article probably doesn't know anything more than we do.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

People that insert their thinking into other people's brains are always amusing.

I'm going to go with "none of them think like that."

[Russ]

could green be the major piece for LMA?

I think the Spurs would rather lose Splitter or Diaw or Mills . . .

[RD2191]

I can see that, Blazers would take him in a heart beat too.
Yup. Although I think he'd get more touches on the Grizz. Lillard likes to chuck a little too much imo.

[BatManu20]

Zach Lowe is projecting Danny to sign with Milwaukee. It sucks to lose him, but I'd much rather him go there than to Mavs, Pistons, or Blazers.

[BatManu20]

Or Memphis.

[TXstbobcat]

I wonder how much per year the Bucks are going to offer Verde.

[tmtcsc]

None of this speculation means anything but its entertaining none the less. I just hope Aldridge doesn't drag this thing out.

Where do you see that?

[Mugen]

Memphis doesn't have the cap room IIRC and I'd feel terrible for Danny if he ended up in Milwaukee.

[RD2191]

I have a feeling Danny will take some sort of paycut to resign with the Spurs.

[TXstbobcat]

I have a feeling Danny will take some sort of paybcut to resign with thr Spurs.

No way he takes a smaller offer. He will take the highest offer and run.

sa or cleve

[weebo]

Green would be smart to stay with the Spurs. How many other teams will be able to hide his deficiencies quite like the Spurs? Sure he could go to some other team and make a few more bucks in the short term, or he could stay with the Spurs and take a bit less but build his basketball legacy.

Lillard does have a little Costanza in him.

[manufan10]

Milwaukee didn't learn the last time they took a Spurs' shooter? :lol

[Kindergarten Cop]

The only way that I see Danny Green leaving is if the Spurs show little interest in keeping him (whether it be lacking the interest to match offers from other teams in FA or by using him as a means to get LMA via S/T).

[daslicer]

Danny will not take a pay cut considering he's a role player. This is going to be the last big contract of his career so he's looking to cash in. I just wonder how much he's going to get on the open market. Unfortunately I think he's gone if a team throws out a 4 year 40 mil deal.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

I don't think the Spurs let him walk if those are the numbers. I think it's a given that the Spurs will match (although I know that he's not a RFA) anything $10M/yr or less. I think the FO is fearful that a team would be willing to offer him a deal in the $13M-$15M range.

[T Park]

Green will be a spur next year.

[024]

Why would the Spurs let Green walk unless there's an absurdly high offer? The Spurs can afford to offer Green $10-12 million. Green's cap hold is only around $6 million currently. Only thing stopping the Spurs from re-signing Green is that they decide to choose Splitter over Green or Holt is penny pinching.

[LakerHater]

If Spurs use Bird rights on him, then they can sign him to whatevr with no cap hit... right??

Sadly someone will offer him that man, wish him well if he goes. I doubt he has the same impact on another team unless they have the right parts, if he goes to a bad team where he won't get those open threes and so on he will struggle mightily IMO. He is a system player, very good one but a system player nonetheless.

I HOPE you are right, that would be great.

I agree in the sense he needs to be on a contender to be effective otherwise his game suffers. Unfortunately there will be some stupid team that will throw the farm at him.

What's Detroits cap situation like anyway. Don't they need to re sign jackson.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I wonder if Danny is still in Rio - seems like he should be back by now but he's still posting pictures.

Could be a phone meeting

[Das Texan]

Might as well listen to what other teams have to say, nothing to lose.

Though its Detroit, not sure what you can offer there....

[Malik Hairston]

Pistons and Van Gundy's system with Jennings/Jackson penetrating and Drummond on the interior would be a nice fit for Green, tbh..probably a 5-6 seed in the shitty East IMO..

Bucks would be a nice fit, too, if they keep Middleton..scary defensive team, and they desperately need shooting..can't imagine Green going there, though..

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny would be clapping his hands wide open while Jennings dribbled into a double team and chucked it.. Danny would frown and say, "memories"

[DPG21920]

I want to punch every national writer that keeps spreading the mis-information that Spurs "have" to lose Green to get LMA and/or that he's "likely to leave" or that "it will be really hard for SA to keep Green".

[Malik Hairston]

:lol True, but Jennings looked like he finally turned a corner prior to his injury, last year..not sure how he'll fit with Reggie Jackson, since they're too similar, but we'll see..

[Shabazz]

Danny isn't taking leas out of loyalty. It took him 6 years as a professional to reach this point. Getting cut by Cleveland, playing overseas, getting cut by SA. He hasn't banked nearly what his peers have. This is his big contract and he deserves it. If anyone should show loyalty here it is the Spurs front office. The TV contract is causing the salary cap to go up in a year. A scrub lime Aminu just got 7.5 million a year. Danny deserves 10-12 million a year, and that contract will look great under the new salary cap.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

I have a feeling Danny will take some sort of paycut to resign with the Spurs.

2mil tops. If his best offer is 12 mil a year, I am 100% sure he would resign with the Spurs for 10mil. He is very loyal to Pop as Pop coaching him and developing his game is why he even in the league at this point. Despite him not liking Parker all that much, his love for Pop far exceeds that.

[Seventyniner]

Since Danny's salary doesn't really affect the Spurs' cap space in any way (because his salary will be higher than his cap hold, so he'll sign last), why would the Spurs lose him over a few million a year, especially with the cap about to skyrocket? If I'm the Spurs and some team out there goes crazy and offers 4/60, I match it without even blinking. I would hope that Danny would choose the Spurs if they are willing to match whatever another team offers.

Even concerns about the apron are less likely now because of the cap being higher than anticipated.

I'm thinking the Spurs still need to pay $12 a year and I think they will.

You're correct. There are only really 3 reasons why Danny leaves SA:

1) LMA agrees to play in SA and SA cannot find a trade partner for Tiago or Boris and/or Mills or the like. Very unlikely
2) Holt refuses to pay LT. Not only that, but maybe has a firm cap number below the LT and will not go over that number. Possible.
3) Danny and/or the Spurs are just ready to part ways. Possible, but doesn't seem likely.

[SequSpur]

Green will be a spur next year.

I agree. If Danny Green goes, then I go.

Damn... now I don't know what I want
