Good news

I think the Spurs wouldn't have extended the QO to Mills if they didn't want to keep him around. There has been almost no news about teams interested in him so if the Spurs can get him on a reasonable contract I'd like to see him back. With a full camp and preseason I think he can become a decent backup PG.

Agent Bill Duffy on Danny Green remaining w/Spurs: "Danny has embraced the Spurs culture and developed a meaningful role."

Hell even Nick Young got $6M and he's got far fewer skills/ability than Danny Green, not to mention a horrid attitude.

But it's not an abstract market as you suggest. It's not what the market should be for some theoretical player. It's what some particular team was willing to pay this player that determines whether the Spurs got a bargain or not.

We'll probably never know, but the contract certainly seems within reasonable parameters (if perhaps a bit high).

:lol

You know it's a slow offseason when people are arguing if a Spurs rotation player got market or slightly above market salary.

Welcome back Green.

It's a very reasonable deal. :tu

Duffy on Green: "He is grateful that Pop & R.C. have demonstrated this belief in him. It’s a great day for the underdog & well deserved."

:downspin:

Should have he played well in the WCF, the price would have gone up. MLE at least.

He proved himself in the season. Even if he went cold in the WCF, he recognized he didn't do well at that point.

And that's one thing that makes him a good young wing.

If Green doesn't go cold in the WCF and continued playing like he did in the first two rounds in the WCF and the Finals, there's no way the Spurs would have been able to re-sign him. He easily gets $6M+.















Needless to say, I'd take the ring eight days a week even if it meant losing Green forever . . .

Fully guaranteed is what I don't like about the deal.

Not to mention Patty is a RFA too.

It's reasonable for a starter SG, for what he showed during the season and the first two rounds. Hopefully he will improve in his second season.

That's right! You can't consider Green a big.

Just read a great point from Drew at 48MOH for those complaining about DG's contract:

Steve Novak got 4 years/15 Million :lol

great news. danny felt like shit after his performance these playoffs. i got a feeling he'll be back and better than ever.

And Novak is even more one-dimensional than Green.

At least Green gives you 3s, good D, and the occasional floater.

Wonderful news and a very reasonable deal for both parties.

Agree with Timvp, in that Green probably gets more money, had he not melted down during the WCF. While he lost some dollars, that probably made him more affordable.

I fully expect him to retain his starting spot and pair with Kawai to form a formidable defensive duo on the perimeter.

Finally some good news around here...:toast

:tu awesome news ! the contract amount and duration are fair.

I approve this signing. :hat
