Anyone that doesn't want Danny Green to come back needs to have their head examined

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We would get anyone close to replacing his defense. He's also come such a long way with his game in the paint. He doesn't look like a circus act when dribbling anymore.

[TheGreatYacht]

Would cut the useless scrub for Belinelli any day of the week (unless we play a lottery team which is when GLeague stat pads)

[SAGirl]

tell that to the JSimms fan club in this joint.:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

He's either going to get hurt or shoot 1-10 following the creation of this thread:lol

[ducks]

Same can be said for trump in 2020

[sananspursfan21]

I was honestly worried we might be looking at Avery Bradley in his place tbh. I shudder to think about what this team would look like...

[SpurOutofTownFan]

wait until he's garbage again like in the next game or so and people would ask for him to be traded

[Robz4000]

It literally never fails.

[Bill_Brasky]

Amused should be banned.....

Make a thread about Fatty Patty next b

[MoSpur02]

Spurs would be dumb not to bring him back

Even dumber if they continue to fail to upgrade.

[TheGreatYacht]

He's aging like milk in a car on a sunny day.

Ship him off to a mediocre team like the Nets if he even dares to opt in that player option

[Keepin' it real]

Inconsistent role players are a dime a dozen.

It really depends on what Green could bring back in return. If its just another aging vet, then it makes no sense. If he could bring back a talented younger player then you pull the trigger. Green is good at what he does, and for what he costs, but he will never get better. The Spurs need someone who has the potential to get better, and be able to lead the team. The Spurs seem to be totally mismanaging the Leonard issue, so this team could get really bad in a hurry.

He's no longer an asset because they held on to him too long. He's going to walk in Free Agency or they're going to pay him gross money (a la Paddy) to come back and continue his downward regression. Either way, the Spurs lose.

[exstatic]

He just fired his agent, and hired Roc Nation as his representation. Look for him to opt out, and get paid.

I think him and the Spurs will want to work things out but I do expect him to look out for himself. After all the trade rumors, he's not going to want to come back on a bargain deal for him to be dangled as a trade asset after it bc Spurs won't trade Tony, Patty or Pau.

Kiwi's injury makes this next summer completely unpredictable but if the Spurs are unable to swing a trade and look to re-sign their guys, they have to take a strong look at what they are doing not just with Danny but the rest of the guys under contract. Many are not pulling their share.

As for the never getting better, finally after 5+ years as an NBA player has has added a NCAA D1 floor game for a 2/3 to his toolbox. Honestly it would be amazing for the team if he has that and goes on one of his patented 5 games of can't miss from three streaks.

He won't. Danny is what he is and that's a guy who still can only dribble at a middle school level. One layup off an awkward dribble drive is the most you'll get from him on a consistent per game basis

Thing is he has, he's not a good ball handler especially for a 2, but he's not the complete liability he was dribbling 3-4 years ago. He has made strides there. Instead of a middle schooler dribbling he now has a lower tier college players dribbling moves. He's just trying then against much higher level competition.

No. He's still a liability. The man can't even get you more than a layup per game (just wait until teams expect him to drive and shut that off too), his shot isn't coming back, and no one respects him offensively. It's like we're playing 4 on 5 offensively every time he is on the floor.

[BackHome]

Pass a shooting guard who can’t dribble OMG.

[Phenomanul]

He'll have more space to get his shots off when Kawhi returns

[wildbill2u]

I agree that Danny needs a comeback.

[MaNu4Tres]

I hope he opts in.

That 15 million dollar cap hold will put the Spurs in a very tough situation.

If only they didn't sign .... nvm. I've had a great day.

Why would it put them in a tough situation... they already don't have cap to get anyone unless they do some serious trading.

[MaNu4Tres]

The 15 million cap hold would be 5 million more counted against the cap unless Spurs renounce him. If Spurs renounce him, he's pretty much gone since they could only re-sign him with cap space instead of being able to go over the cap.

The only way it can work in favor of the Spurs is if he opts out and re-signs w/ SA right away for = or < 10-13 million per.

I am just wondering why you are worried about cap.
I am not on top of these things and I might be wrong, but I just assumed they don't have cap next season anyways and will operate over the cap unless they make significant trades (Mills and/or Pau for example)...
what do you have in mind?

------
Also, just as a point of conversation, when asked earlier in the season about whether or not he would decline his option he said at the time that he wasn't sure yet. I am thinking he will listen to the Spurs before making up his mind, but hiring up the new agent sounds like just getting ready to hit FA this summer... otherwise he could just pick up the option and he wouldn't have needed a brand new agent for that.

[.G.]

Green isn’t all that. I’m cool if he leaves. Little by little he’s become an intangibles type player. Yeah his handle appears to have improved some but he’s still a clusterfuck whenever he tries to penetrate. He only creates when he’s forced to and even then it’s 50/50 layup time.

I didn't confirm the tweet, but it looks like you either cut the numbers wrong or didn't understand the tweet. Green's not the only player to do that at all in the last six seasons. He's the only one who's done it every season.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao

That limp dick, broken jumper having, bone legged scrub would be traded if he even thinks of opting in that player option for next year.
