He murdered them in the playoffs and can play either wing spot where they have a dearth of talent. He makes a lot of sense for them tbh.

I loved the guy even though he fucked us in the WCF. I'd like to keep him and let him get better.
There is really no sense in creating another hole on this roster. With the notable exception of the OKC series, and a minor mid-season slump, Green was basically solid. Sure he's got some holes in his game, but he's still a young, developing player, who works hard. Look at the progress he made from last season to this season.
It's for those reasons, I believe Pop and RC really like this kid and that he'll return to the Spurs after all the commotion is over.
Keep Green.
Yeah, I have to admit I was really tough on Green after his WCF performance, but it wasn't fair to him because majority of the team sucked that series as well.
The Spurs do have to bring him back. Otherwise, who do you start at shooting guard? Manu? Possible, but look at his backups. Or let Neal start and have the opposing shooting guards light him up on defense? James Anderson? :lol
Exactly. He can improve and is a hard worker. We don't sweep the first two rounds without him. People forget we won games 1-2 with him struggling. If Pop had just given him a chance in game 5 we might not even be talking about this.Quote:

You can stick with your love for fool's gold performances by Danny Green but the rest of us want a player that shows up when it matters most.Quote:

Green is not a star by any stretch but his usefulness will be helpful for the Spurs to compete in the direction the league is headed.
So the answer to his question is what...Gary Neal? He wasn't exactly Mr. Big Shot in the WCF himself.Quote:

I wonder how much cash Danny potentially lost out on because of his play during the WCF.
depends if raptors want him
Some Spurfans bipolar as fuck tbh. They all treated him like the second coming of Bruce Bowen back in January/February and now they act like he's a complete scrub.
This tbh. Green is a multidimensional player and he doesn't have to rely on special circumstances or players to do so, not to mention he's still a little raw. He had one playoff series where he didn't shoot well when he was a streaky shooter to begin with. People forget that he worked his way into the rotation when he wasn't even a sure thing to make the roster at the start of the year, his contributions far outweighed his negatives this year. Give the guy some time to develop and see what he can do.Quote:

Danny worked so hard to make himself into a useful player, blossomed this year, then flamed out late in his first playoffs, but let's not forget that he was great in the first two rounds. Given the trajectory of his career, I can see Green working extra hardthis summer, overcoming the disappointment of his WCF shooting drought, and coming back a stronger player next year. I hope he returns.
Well for one I've never been a fan of Danny Green, to me he's still that scrub that got cut from Cleveland, nothing more, nothing less.
He certainly didn't show that against the Thunder.Quote:

Gary couldn't hit a shot to save his life and compounded it with poor shot selection and matador defense. And your answer is a guy who couldn't crack the rotation even when those two were failing?Quote:

You act as if Pop is reasonable enough to make a change.Quote:
