View Full Version : If Danny isn't traded...

...and I hope he does get traded, but if he doesn't, Simmons needs to start...Danny's one dimensional game isn't suited for this current NBA...his defense is arguably worse than Simmons, he can't layup, can't finish a break, can't pass, can't dribble, and struggles against the better playoff teams because they take away his only offensive capability... The warriors aren't great simply because they can shoot...it is because everyone of the floor can somewhat shoot, drive, and pass....so the defense is constantly being broken down...we must start Simmons to be at our best...plus the havoc Simmons, kawhi, and Murray can cause on a break will be a sight to behold

Way to invalidate your entire argument.

I'm sure Danny made All-Defensive 2nd Team based off of his reputation alone.

Other parts of Green's game are certainly suspect, but attacking his defense makes it sound like you have no clue what you are talking about.

Agreed. Defense in today's NBA has been so marginalized by the way they call the games that being a great defensive player carries very little weight. A shooting guard needs to shoot and score.

Greens defense is legit. His offense isn't. If we can get a more consistent guard on O, and be at least slightly above average defensively, then you pull the trigger. Danny has been a one trick pony. Don't get me wrong, I respect the hell out of the dude. Probably wouldn't have rang without him and his contributions. I was hoping he would develop a slashing game or be able to shoot off the dribble with his trademark accuracy, but he just hasn't been able to do that. If he stays, I pray to the basketball gods that he would have finally figured out how to be a threat outside of the 3 point shot. If he does that, he takes himself up to the next level and becomes a tricky player to guard.

So should Kawhi. Having good value doesn't mean it makes sense to trade him. Meanwhile, Simmons can't even get an offer sheet.

It's more the hyperbole that gets me. People start off trolling, but then they start to believe they're right, so they go more extreme to troll more but then start to believe that. Rinse and repeat enough, and you have folks arguing that Green is a cancerous player or that LMA demanded a trade.

I disagree that his "one dimensional" game is not for this NBA. His defense is absolutely essential. He is 2nd by a little to Kawhi on the perimeter and the best fastbreak/chase down defender on the team (likely in the NBA). I'm game for trading him if the return is right but I'm not sold on just getting him out of our hair so to speak

I contend that Green CAN play defense when he wants to, but sometimes he shows he doesn't want to fight over a high screen and lets his man just motor down the lane. Haven't checked to see if it is just with some players on P&R or some teams who play him for that.

When was the last time Green actually hit a meaningful shot? He bricks more often than not when it matters. And his defense isn't that good to negate his terrible offense.

Simmons had a defensive masterpiece against Harden this postseason. As opposed to Green, who continuesly gets lit up :lol You're lying to yourself if you think otherwise. There's a reason Kawhi switches to Green's assignment at the end of games when that player has 30+ points.

If his 3s aren't falling he is a major offensive liability that his defense doesn't make up for. He can't dribble, can't drive, can't finish, can't create, or shoot a midrange shot...While Simmons can't shoot to save his own life he can do all of those other things better than Danny. Danny was a complete non factor against Golden State and that's who we have to go through the next 3 seasons at least. Choosing between he and Simmons is like trying to find a healthy diet and trying to choose between Fried Chicken and a Bacon Cheese Burger.

One can only hope. If your only offensive weapon is your 3pt shot, and it's regressed to average - below average... you've got to go.

2015 playoffs: 30.0 3P%
2016 season: 33.2 3P%
2017 season: 37.9 3P% (33.8 3P% this calendar year)
2017 playoffs 34.2 3P%

Hope his slurpers ran out of excuses after that LASIK surgery crap they tried to jizzrag with last offseason. Let's face it. He's a 30yr old that acts like a kid still and doesn't even try to practice on his days off

the thing the spurs need from him is consistent 3pt shooting. that's all, a la Bowen. Whenever he was asked to learn how to cut and layup he started losing his 3pt shooting ability. If he can get back his 3pt then spacing becomes available and opposing teams start respecting him again. It opens up lots of possibilities.

Mikeanaro
07-06-2017, 06:47 PM
Enough with the denial, he´s been trash for 3 consecutive years, with TD (he even said DG sucked) without him, with LMA and without him, how other players affect his open looks?
His best years are gone, and people that have seen 3 horrible playoff runs in a row still wants him to play in SA, WTF.
You may like one player but he is turd, I like Patty but right now he works on limited minutes, has been shooting shit since that surgery 3 years ago.

Its Pop! He wants to be different all the time. When other teams were playing ISO, Spurs played motion offense, awesome ball. Now, other teams copied them, all of sudden he abandoned and changed it to Isolation offense. I think, he just wants to prove something all the time.

07-06-2017, 07:06 PM
When it comes to Green it's ALL about his 3ball..it's how he's made his $$ and a name for himself in the league..yes he can defend and it allows him to stay on the court..but if his 3ball is not existent or even above average he's a problem.

Spurs IMO are looking for more creators or versatile offensive players..and I think they'd cut bait with Danny if there is thr "right type of player"...but I just don't see that gu out there.

I'd be shocked if he gets traded

barbacoataco
07-06-2017, 08:44 PM
I've always thought he was a great defender, but I'm not sure anymore. He's kind of questionable all around with his 3-ball looking really off sometimes, but at the end of the year his % was pretty decent. I think maybe Gay will take minutes from him.

U gotta have a creator or a really good shooter at the 2 guard. Danny's a good shooter, but I still find myself surprised when he actually makes a 3 ball. When he puts it on the floor I literally cringe. I say start Simmons if we can keep him.

At some point, people would realize that Danny is getting old and isnt the same player he was in 2014.

Also, we saw him shot way better in 2016 playoffs with the same iso-offense than this last postseason.

Only 34 3P% in playoffs is just unacceptable for a 3-D guy.

Crofl. Making excuses and blaming others for Danny's shit play. He has had PLENTY of wide open bricks. You people are ridiculous.
This :lol

The amount he shoots literally doesn't matter. His shot is broken and his trash 3p% shows it. The scrub should make every shot count if that's the only thing he brings offensively.

I'm also noticing his slurpers don't mention how many 3's he passes up to dribble and fumble the ball. There literally has to be 6-8ft of wide open space for his scary ass to shoot nowadays.

And, again, who has Danny shut down? Is his mythical defense worth playing 4 on 5 on offense?

Don't see what the big deal is. Gay will start at SF and Leonard at SG. Green will be known as one the better defensive role players in the league coming off the bench. I don't like Green starting either, but I really like him coming off the bench when the defense needs a boost.

More likely Rudy Gay starts at the 4 or backs-up Kawhi than your silly idea.

Most of the time it makes sense to start your best defensive players and then bring offense of the bench.

Too bad Danny Green plays popcorn defense.

Kawhi at SG and Gay at SF will be a PROBLEM defensively for the league

If we're being honest, Green gives up more open 3's than he gets us....

Green's value was to defend greats PG while tony or patty was hiding on the SG
It's not possible anymore to hide our PG with the GSW warriors lineup or the CP3 / Harden combo

I'd rather have a decent PG with size than Danny at this point

I'd be highly surprised if someone traded for Danny. If they do that GM needs to be fired ha ha

I don't think the solution to the DG question is to trade him. It's to run a more inclusive offense that allows him to matter more on offense ala Klay Thompson. You can't beat the Warriors with one dimensional players. The funny thing is that's the Spurs were like in 2014 with everybody having to be guarded.

And he runs like he just rode a horse cross country. He's not going to come off screens and shake his defender anytime soon. :lol

The LAST thing you want to do is give Danny more offensive responsibility... Dude can't dribble, drive, pass, nor layup

Green spent most of the season WIDE OPEN. How much more involved does he need to be if he can't hit shots wide the fuck open?
