Danny has improved going to the basket. He’s still a great defender, a spotty shooter and a below average ball handler. He’s really underrated running routes without the ball.

Danny's staying unless he just wants to leave. Wouldn't surprise me if he and the team come to an agreement on an extension during this season. Whether Kyle stays or not has a lot to do with Parker's future. He'll need to take a huge (like 70-percent) pay cut to give them room to give Kyle the MLE deal he can probably expect. It's a damned shame they have Pau's deal to work around. I don't see them going into the tax for Kyle, but I do think they want to keep him and will do so if he stays under the $10 Million APY mark. Of course, Gay looms as a shadow over both players. It's hard to see all three coming back unless they combined for like $32 Million or less.

He was frustrating last season missing shots as often as he did but no way would Spurs get equal value had they traded him. The thing with Danny though is even if he isn't hitting his shots, he still gives you amazing defense every night.

Probably the best fast break defender in the league, tbh.

Either way, I'm good with his start to the season thus far. Good having some offensive capability besides 3's from the SG.

Posted this in the grades thread:

It's amazing how Danny's game improves when he puts it on the floor with purpose instead of "oh shit, what do I do now." It looks like he came into the season prepared to do this more. That's all were ever asked.

Still a wait and see game if he can keep it up all year and in the playoffs, but looks good so far.

This is what I have been wanting from Green for a while now. I have never had a problem with him defensively. It was on offense where he needed to improve. He constantly would settle for a contested 3. Now he is FINALLY starting to mix it up more and it adds a huge wrinkle to opponents defensive schemes. I have been screaming for him to put the ball on the floor without turning it over, and now he is. If I can complain about anything, it is that I want this kind of play to be consistent. Keep it up Danny!!!

Yep, he's definitely got a case of contract year play. In some ways it's disappointing. He's clearly put in much more work this summer - and I like to expect my multi-millionaire athletes to put in the work all the time... Still, I would not object to handing him that 4yr/53.8 Million extension. In practice that's 50% or so more than the MLE, which is to say roughly the $10 million /year that he was on before, adjusting for "inflation". He's been worth it, as a starter level player, who complements our style and star players nicely.

I wouldn't sign him to an extension during the season. I'd rather play out the whole season and see how he plays for the rest of it.

I was one of the ones that wanted him traded. I thought he was regressing and was likely going to get worse and worse. I am amazed at how he's played to start the season. This is the Danny Green I remember on defense, but now also with some dribbling skills and finishing. I hope he can keep this up. Glad to be totally wrong on him so far.

Hopefully his shooting is more consistent for the WHOLE season too.

The funniest part about that clip is that Pop was dead wrong to bitch at Green. Fouling was not only a perfectly defensible move, but it got the team the ball back.

Jumping to conclusions would be assuming he's going to be a big-time scorer all year. Instead, it's much more feasible to see him as being the guy who's stepped up to get the team to 7-4 rather than 5-6 or 3-8.

And fuck yes, LMA isn't replaceable either. People who go "Well you could replace them with a max player and the team would be better" aren't worth the discussion.

Counting contracts, yeah I would. Danny is making $10 Million, Klay is $17.8 Million. Danny is a lousy chief, but a great indian. Klay is a mediocre chief, and an average indian. Give me the great indian at the (relatively) cheap price...

Yes Danny is on a bargain deal for the way he's playing but I don't think Klay is being overpaid. He obviously isn't the defender Green is but he's also not a bad defender and can drop buckets. He's not going to touch the ball as much with GS now that they have Durant but it's clear when he was the #2 option next to Steph that he could get the job done. Also, he's efficiently putting up 20+ PPG right now as a 3rd option. Green matches up well with him when they play but I think realistically you've got to take Klay because he's that much better of a scorer and he's a go to option.

If he won't take a discount, you let him walk. If he wants more money that makes the deal an overpaid one, then you let him walk. Same shit I said with Mills, but I'm getting in early this time.

If he gets what Mills did per year, it'd be a solid deal assuming he doesn't age poorly (can be handled if 2-3 year deal). Good thing there's less cap space next offseason.

“He’s steadily become a professional over the years and taken his craft seriously,” said Popovich before the Spurs hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder. “An all around player, not just someone who can shoot open threes. He’s gone to work everyday with that thought and defensively, he figured out that he kind of had a knack for it on top of deciding to be that. He was pretty good with his hands, and anticipated pretty good position wise on the court. As he found some success, he was rewarded for it and I think he continues to take it very seriously. Then he started doing things like blocking shots on the break in transition. You’re wondering, ‘Where the heck did that come from? I don’t remember doing that drill.’ We don’t have those drills, but he’s doing it. He’s done that on his own. He’s excited to be an all around player.”

Undeniable that Danny has talent. Would like him to be consistent with it on defense as well as offense. There are times when he seems scared to challenge a guard who wants to scrape him off on a pick. But you have to put up with frustration for the times when he plays better than average.

Nope, Danny is worth what he's getting now (in this market), so a small increase is OK as I doubt he'd come back for the same amount of money. Personally, I'd only give Danny the same amount as he's getting now, max, but I doubt that would be enough. If we can get someone better for the same amount of money, or a little more, I'd let him walk.

Mills was not worth anywhere near what he got.

I hope not. Spurs are in trouble with retaining all the guys that are up for contract. This team this season is really talented and has a lot of young talent. One can’t take for granted what they have been able to achieve without an MVP caliber player.

The potential exodus from this year has the potential to a lot more impactful than losing garbage time marvel Boban 2 seasons ago, overrated JSimms, Dedmon, plus retired Lee. Last season’s team lost some guys and this season’s team may face losses again, hopefully Danny is not among them, but I am not taking the team for granted. Imagine losing some of the guys from this season and replacing them with Costello, Hilliard and Milutinov.

( I will say Derrick White has shown some things though, but other than him... the pipeline seems dry).

If we can get someone better for the same amount of money, or a little more, I'd let him walk.

But the team can't, especially not for the same opportunity cost (since the team won't have cap space regardless). Letting Danny walk really doesn't seem like an option outside a scenario where they trade away some guys to make real cap space. My guess is they only reason why he may opt out (and why he doesn't have an extension) is that PATFO are going to try to fit in as many re-signings as possible and are going to ask Danny's cooperation on that.

I actually had a much longer post in there going through the cap math. But that can be saved for later. We all probably know money will be tight with guys like Forbes and Anderson looking for the first paydays, so they will likely need vets like Danny, Tony and maybe Gay to work within the financial limits to bring back as many guys as possible while also getting a longer-term solution established as the third big.

I think you are absolutely right about Danny, and I hope you are. Big fan here. Danny has already demonstrated his commitment to the Spurs once before. I am not sure that we can count on "Spur-for-life Rudy, however. In my ideal world, however, we would bring back the whole team next season with the possible exceptions of Dijon, Joff and 50Mills. I really don't want to pay Tony much, and I don't want him starting, though, so that creates another set of problems...
