[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Not Surprise. Green loves Pop. Its a little over paid but Green did turn down less money from his last contract and with cap increase next year, its a good deal all and all.

[ducks]

this is a good deal with the numbers if true

[cjw]

If there's a way to make this work while keeping Mills and only losing Splitter (with cap potentially being higher), it would be a total coup should they land LA.

Sweet!!!!! Perfect fit! He believed Jts here and I hope he adds to his game.

If true, really glad they got this done. Was not looking forward to the Spurs having the fill the gap he would've left behind.

Now we just gotta see how the timing works out for the cap and the Aldridge Hunt. Really figured we wouldn't hear anything about Green until the got a yay or nay from LaMarcus.

What did you really think the market value for Green was going to be?

[baseline bum]

Thanks. But I mean after LMA (or anyone else we want to get). In other words do we get to play in the market using his caphold or do we need to sign him sooner.

You can't sign contracts until July 9th, so if they got LMA they'd sign Duncan first to lower his cap hold, send the paperwork to the league office, then Aldridge probably 30 minutes later, send the paperwork into the league office, and then probably sign Green and Leonard 30 minutes later.

[timvp]

OMG! Yes! What a bargain.

In a market where Middleton got $70M, Lopez got $20M per year and freakin' Aminu got $30M, it's pretty damn likely Green would have gotten an offer between $50M and $60M if he waited.

[FromWayDowntown]

That deal is going to look pretty nice once the cap goes up. Among guys who are mostly 3 and D wings, Danny's at least among the top handful -- and probably among the best at doing those two specific things in combination -- and he's taking less in this market to do that than, say, Middleton or Carroll.

Not that it's been much of a topic, but I don't think anyone can question Danny's commitment to winning (or to the Spurs).

[Raven]

[ironman2886]

My fear was Green was going to the Mavs.

[Mel_13]

Are you saying renounce him and then sign him for the league minimum? I'm not that familiar with the current CBA.

The room exception is a small exception (about 2.8M per year for a max of two years) granted to teams that use cap space to sign free agents. It was added in the 2011 CBA.

So they could renounce Manu and then sign him with that exception.

[timvp]

I just wonder if this means Manu told RC he's retiring. Otherwise it would be hard to clear the capspace for Aldridge without renouncing one of Green or Ginobili.

I think it's possible that Ginobili could come back for the minimum or whatever is left on the table after all is said and done.

It'd put a damper on things if Ginobili retires but I haven't given up hope. Even he has to be excited with what's going on, even though Splitter was his best friend on the team.

Question is, does tendering Joseph count in the plan? Right now, he's on the hold for more than $5 Million, I believe. So even minus Splitter, you have LMA and Cory eating all the cap space.

Raptors are out of the LMA sweepstakes. Dallas just offered Wes Matthews most of their cap space. Leaves the Knicks and who else.

[024]

Really don't want to lose Mills.
Me neither... but the Spurs are pot committed now. They're going to have to chuck Mills if necessary. At the beginning I really only wanted the Spurs to give up Splitter because losing Mills and Splitter + renouncing most of the bench is going to be way too much.

Although I think since Duncan might agree to a lower contract and Manu maybe accepting one of the exception, the Spurs won't have to give up Mills.

[Mel_13]

Tim got bird right, isn't he?

Yes, but in the current scenario it really doesn't matter as we're assuming that his new contract will be for substantially less than his cap hold. So, even though he may technically be signed with his Bird Rights, the salary will have to fit into the remaining cap space.

Is it possible that Tim is taking the minimum after all?

I don't think so. My read on the Cojo QO was that it was a risk free move if we assume that Cory stands to get offers approaching the MLE in today's market. Therefore, almost zero chance that he signs the QO and fouls their plans. If LMA agrees today, then they renounce the QO. If he goes elsewhere, then the Spurs match reasonable offer for Cory.

OTOH, they didn't tender the QO to Baynes, even though they planned to move Splitter. Baynes was much more likely to sign the QO, imo.

That's cheaper than I expected, was thinking it would be $48m/4yr minimum. Carroll got $60m so Danny is definitely taking a discount.

If we win another title he's going in the rafters.

agreed, like no other. GSG :flag:

[Chinook]

I don't think so. My read on the Cojo QO was that it was a risk free move if we assume that Cory stands to get offers approaching the MLE in today's market. Therefore, almost zero chance that he signs the QO and fouls their plans. If LMA agrees today, then they renounce the QO. If he goes elsewhere, then the Spurs match reasonable offer for Cory.

OTOH, they didn't tender the QO to Baynes, even though they planned to move Splitter. Baynes was much more likely to sign the QO, imo.

Maybe. But I guess I'm wondering if Tim considers Cory one of those must-keep guys. I can totally see the front office thinking he has a real future in SA still, especially since it gives them the freedom to move Mills. Tim made room for Danny in the 2012 off-season. So there's a precedent there.

I'd be very surprised if he played for the minimum, but who knows? Maybe Holt has already promised him a piece of the team after he retires.

Not to project, but the Spurs are a team that keeps players around. Green can be set for life in the Spurs' organization in some capacity. We'll be seeing Bonner for years, for example. I can see Green as the same, if he wanted.

[SASdynasty!]

OMG! Yes! What a bargain.

In a market where Middleton got $70M, Lopez got $20M per year and freakin' Aminu got $30M, it's pretty damn likely Green would have gotten an offer between $50M and $60M if he waited.

Thank you, Danny Green. Thank you, front office.
Lol, and we've been complaining about the contract of a guy who's led the Spurs in scoring and assists four out of the last five seasons, when these scrubs are making more and our role players are making as much now (and that's with him leaving money on the table). Lol.

[Das Texan]

Any chances Danny's deal has an early opt out to it in say, 2 years or so?

[spurspokesman]

Big ups to green. He is still rich as hell but will have some more hardware to go with his benjamins.

[Chinook]

Any chances Danny's deal has an early opt out to it in say, 2 years or so?

Can say for sure that there's no chance of that.

[Aztecfan03]

So, will he sign it soon? Or will it be like Kawhi where they agree, but he signs after the other FA signing?

If we want LMA, he has to sign it later because of cap space.

Might be thinking of another scrub who got signed for 13/14mil.

[Yuixafun]

Not Surprise. Green loves Pop. Its a little over paid but Green did turn down less money from his last contract and with cap increase next year, its a good deal all and all.

This exactly, in two years both him and Kl will be penomenal deals

[Brazil]

Salary is fucking reasonable... awesome news

:bobo

No
Aminu's contract is 7.5 mil/yr

This is great news! I really thought Green was gone but turns out DG is one loyal SOB! FO kicking some ass and it's great to be a Spurs fan today! :bobo

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

:lol All the Green haters that said he wasn't worth more than 10 million

In today's cap he's not, but in tomorrow's he is. Sounds like some teams were offering him 15 mil as some reports say he left like 20mil on the table to resign with the Spurs. Not surprise, he loves Pop.

[Sean Cagney]

I thought he was gone for sure... Some team was going to way overpay him I thought, good news.

[Spur-Addict]

:clap

[cantthinkofanything]

:lol All the Green haters that said he wasn't worth more than 10 million

hopefully, he's worth it. If he has the same season as last year but also performs in the playoffs, then it seems like a good deal.

[Brazil]

Sign LMA
Sign Manu for the min

He's left some headline money on the table but I suspect Texas state tax helped that somewhat, New York has nearly 9% state tax

Well, considering someone like Carroll is making 15 million a year now or Aminu making over 7 million, Green making more than 10 million actually seems fair. And some Spurs fans thought he was worth letting go if he commanded more than 10 million. Thankfully, DG is loyal. His current contract is actually reasonable.

[TimmyDuncan21]

Indeed.

Detroit offered him more money. DMFG is loyal and he likes winning.

Duncan is a given

situation is obviously more tricky for LMA, there is still a ? for Manu and Patty resigning will probably be linked to cap amount

Being one of those fans, i must say, i'm happy to have him back. I had a feeling he would take a discount, and after seeing Middleton cash in, it really gave me a better perspective. And after all, in a couple years, this will look like a bargain.

[Brazil]

Patty is under contract still, i think...

you are right, he is signed till 2017 :tu

should have said not trading him or confirm or keep him whatever

Admirable, tbh. I'm really happy for him. Success story...going from being a scrub to getting paid that much. Fucking awesome team player.

I still remember wanting him to get more minutes when we signed him.

[timtonymanu]

Thank God Danny Green is back.

Couldn't imagine the team without him.

[Shabazz]

I think he comes from a pretty well-off family, so it's possible that he has never really worried about money and doesn't want to start now. This is flat out false.Danny spent most of his 4 years in college saving up his Stipend money to send it back home to his family to help out while his dad was in prison. He briefly entered the draft after his junior year, when he was not projected to be drafted, because he felt like he needed to make money to support his little brother.sorry Chinook, but you don't seem to know much about Danny.

Great - DG is essential to the Spurs regardless of getting LMA or not. Love his attitude/love/respect for the Spurs and his remembering where he came from/how hard it was. Well deserved - congrats!

Yeah, I read the story. His father went to prison when Green was a sophomore and got out when he was a junior. Not exactly a lifetime of hardship.

[sexinthatsx]

I think if Manu was coming back he'd be at that meeting with LMA in LA.

I agree with you. Manu and Tim would've been in the meeting making a verbal commitment of the respective amount they were going to take in order to talk about LMA's salary demands. But since Duncan is the only one pitching the ability to take a pay cut, it makes it seem as if Manu's out of the picture.

[urunobili]

I love Danny Green. I fucking love him.

[Brazil]

Patty is going nowhere

I hope so, risk is Spurs to be obliged to make a trade to stay under the cap that's why the confirmation or not of cap increase by 2 M is important

if I understood correctly

[BatManu20]

Couldn't be happier about Danny returning. I was really bummed about the possibility of him leaving. Glad my niqqa is here to stay.. Welcome back Danny!
