Would be smart to opt out. He won’t get $10 mill a year but I bet he signs a three year mid lvl deal. Less money per year but more guarantee money and more years

Would be great for the Spurs if he opted out and I actually wouldn't be shocked..he won't get anywhere near 10 mil anywhere, but it's typical for NBA role players to burn out and look for a new situation..

Demarre Carroll is a recent example of this(not FA but asking for a trade out of Toronto)..

Green needs to go. Opposing teams don't even have to guard him, when he's on the floor it's 4v5 on offense.

Danny's more useful to the team as an mid-sized expiring than he is opting out. I'm pretty sure the league sees him as somewhat positive value, so he and 18 is a good package for a solid piece.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him opt out for a new deal with SA, but that depends on what happens with Kawhi more than anything. In a revamped offense, he could be a contributor, but he can't be thought of as a main guy anymore.

With opting out he’s sure to make more guaranteed money than he has now and he controls where he plays. That’s big.

At this point, I think we're at the reasonable nadir of Danny's value. Whatever he's worth this year, he'll be worth no less next year. Controlling where he plays would be big, of course, and after two years of trade rumors, he probably would like some autonomy. But from a pure money perspective, I don't think opting out makes sense.

Yes, but damn, if he could have kept it going just a couple more years, he would have been an all-timer with the club. Jersey retired and everything. Maybe Drom John can give us a fuller breakdown, but Danny places well on a number of team leaderboards. Had he kept it going, he would have been much higher though.

his value is probably the mid level or less...if he ops out i would re sign him for something like three years 20 millions contract (6.5 for year)...this way he doubles his guaranteed money.

I was thinking $24M/3 with the third year half guaranteed. Doubles his guaranteed payout while giving the team a decent $4-Million option in that final year if he finds himself again.

Opting out doesn't make sense. He can get his 10 millions next season and then go for the next contact the following year. I doubt he would get much better offers this upcoming offseason than the following one. At least not to leave 10 millions on the table.

He will opt out to try to seek at least a 3 year deal. I'm sure he would like a 4th year, but don't see any teams offering that many yeas. He flat out sucked this season. I wouldn't mind bringing him back on a 3 year $15-16 million dollar deal with the team having the option on that last year, but don't think that would happen.

Dude will get near full MLE money for 3 years somewhere. Or some structure where first two are front loaded and last is a partial guarantee (like Pau).

Danny has been great. I loved his story arch too. But, like many other guys on the team, they’ve asked him to be a 2-3 option this year, when he really is a 4-5 option, even in this prime. He’s looked out of his elements.

Hope he lands somewhere good like a Philly team that needs some vet help, and better yet if we can find a way to make it a trade for some assets.

There could be a few reasons IMO..he could want to play elsewhere and feels like he'll never be able to be effective in SA's system anymore(which is obviously true, as we have seen)..takes a shorter deal elsewhere to raise his value for a subsequent contract..

He seems to be the only teammate somewhat close to Kawhi, he might know that Kawhi won't be a Spur, next season..

Maybe he's currently looking for more security on a longer deal and feels like he might continue to get worse(I doubt that, since pro athletes are irrationally confident, but possible) next season..

I like Green, but don't think he works as well now in this system. Would be nice to find a new SG who is more dynamic on offense without sacrificing too much on defense. If Murray can work on his jump shot more ...

LDN has been an invaluable member of the Spurs and we should be proud to have had him on the team. But he no longer fits with what the team needs moving forward, as a starter at least. So, unless he's willing to come off the bench and be a defensive specialist, he better fits in with a team that is bleeding for some defense in the backcourt.

Many shots that had some late contests there, today he would hesitate with a pump fake put the ball down and do something else. Sometimes him putting the ball down ended in a good shot or a good pass to someone else... but it’s obvious that him trying to be more dynamic broke his shot. He used to always want to shoot it. Now he hesitates, wants to drive by people... etc.

3 and D without the 3 isn't really workable unless you have offense elsewhere, which the Spurs really don't outside of LMA and Kawhi (if he's playing). With Kawhi healthy, Danny is a bigger piece to the puzzle since he can get open looks and his transition defense compliments Kawhi's man on man.

That's opposite of normal. Young players drive until they can't, then they settle for jumpers in their later years.

This must be a product of coaching. "Stop being a one-trick pony, Danny. Expand your game."

Interesting bc he had a groin injury this season that lingered and during the last few weeks if the RS he had one calf wrapped up in the bench. He slumped shooting horribly to end the season.

If it's,age, conditioning... it's over. Spurs would need to move him to the bench next season if he opts in. They already kind of did this yr and he played well as a bench player.

I wonder if there's a pattern here. Guys like Danny get a lot of their defensive value from being able to fight through a screen or go under and still challenge a shot. That and moving a lot off the ball on offense requires a lot of stamina and explosive changes of direction. Do players like this tend to break down earlier than most? Just speculation on my part, I really don't know the answer.

:lmao He was only 25-27 at the time and those 3 straight deep runs ended 4 years ago, with only 1 since. His drop off came 3 years ago, at 28. He had played roughly 9,300 career minutes at that point and hasn't suffered a career altering injury.

Ariza is essentially a bigger version. He's also 2 years older and had played roughly 28, 000 career minutes entering this season. He just had the 3rd best (narrowly missing 2nd, which came 2 seasons prior) 3-pt% of his career.

Have a feeling spurs will re-sign him long term at a similar salary. Everything about the Spurs history screams a re-signing and an overpay. Spurs have no cap room anyways thanks to a couple of the worst deals in recent Spurs memory in Gasol and Patty's contracts.

Danny shifted his off-season focus in delusional ways the past 4 offseasons.

He admitted to not working as hard on his shot & worked on his off the dribble game.

Well if there was already some question about whether he was worth his initial deal in 2015, there's got to be a question now.

Even if it was, G-League misses wide open shots regardless of system.

It only takes one GM to decide he's worth $10M a year.

I could see him taking something like 4/35 if it's offered. He isn't likely to get another sizable contract in his career.

The same thing could be said of Pau and Paddy. It only took one GM=RC!!

I thought Danny was on a good deal when it was given, but he hardly looks like a starter right now and he either doesn’t fit in with a post up offense or he has simply fallen off a cliff. It doesn’t seem like a bounce back is in order either unless IMO he changes teams. I would not offer a 4 year deal bc he’s aged very badly and is already 30 yrs old.

What was interesting was that even after his best season of his career (2015) some “team execs” were already thinking he wasn’t going to live up to a large contract. I think those doubters are only going to be louder right now. He might just very well opt in.

3 and D with championship experience should get him a decent multiyear deal. I see it being 3 years 7-8 mil per year deal. Lamborgini probably getting close to the same deal.

He could still get 21 mill in 3 yrs next season but he’d add that to his 10 mill next year.

I am really inclined to think he opts in at this point...

Yes, and I'd say it's likely. Pop basically gave up on him snapping out of his funk, and moved him to the bench.

I can tell you unequivocally that the Spurs are prepared to move him. They were last year too. The coaching staff's opinion is that Green's D HAS BEEN on the decline. Throw in his non-existent offense and they are ready to part ways.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I wondered if Danny knows that (Pop might give him the courtesy of telling him it is a strong possibility?) would he be more inclined to opt out to try and control where he goes.

I think opting in is his best move though.

He has one big contract left. He’s about to be 31. Most agents say to opt out and get the guaranteed money out there. He is not an All-Star and another bad year/injury may cost him a ton of money.

I could see him getting full MLE for sure. I think opting out makes the most financial sense to lock in more guaranteed money.

But Danny really loves the Spurs. I truly believe that. Through ups and downs he’s always proven loyal. I think he wants to stay; I’m just not sure what SA will be doing this off season. If Kawhi is kept, I could see Danny back. If not, may be the end for one of my favorite Spurs of all time.

No one suffered more from the offense changing than Green unfortunately.

This. He would do well for Houston as well with their playmakers

I like Danny nothing personnel but we need SG who can dribble and create their own offense and hit outside shots. He was a fit for us during Championship run with Timmy but with the current team we different players. I think he opts our and some team in the East will want him for his defense

I love Danny.

One of the most underrated Spurs from 2013-2016.

He's declined the past few years and will be on the wrong side of 31 for his next contract. I'd rather the Spurs make a move for Hezonja.

Spurs can't run an offense like that without passers or ballhandlers than aren't 60 years old. Spurs simply don't have the personnel to get easy shots.
