way to go danny, i like the kid
Very happy about this. :D
Others in the thread have already said what I want to say, but to reiterate: entering his prime coming off a major growth year, could still improve at both ends but at worst a versatile swing off the bench, and I think he'll learn a lot from the WCFs. Let's not forget that he was great in the first two rounds of the playoffs, so he's not daunted by them, just had a poor shooting series against OKC. And the fact that he was keen to return when he could have tested the market for more $ says a lot about him.
Welcome back, Danny! :toast
Manu Ginobili @manuginobili

Very good news.
He faltered big time in the WCF, but if he can even improve at a rate of 30% of what he improved during the last offeseason, the Spurs will have got an absolute bargain.
Improving his offensive game in the keyway and his defensive game navigating around screens and the Spurs will have themselves a very, very good player.
Great deal.
Why is everyone acting so stoked about Danny coming back?I'm happy to have him back but c'mon we all knew he was coming back it's not surprising. :rolleyes
1. the fair price he came back forQuote:

As others have already pointed out with all of the crazy money being thrown around this offseason to players that are arguably much worse than Green, I don't think very many thought it was quite the lock that you did.Quote:

Two good wing defenders would reduce the pressure on Duncan to protect the rim.
Interesting tweet from JMac:
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
As others have reported, 3 years and $12 million for Danny Green. Not bad for a guy who didn't clear 90K last season.
Hella raise for DG.
^McDonald is wrong, per usual. But yeah, it's a good story.
Methinks he left a zero off.
Glad to see he is coming back. I hope he can learn from last year's WCF flop and improve his game.
more than I expected
Another good thing is, I believe this keeps Manu and Jack coming off the bench to quarterback the second unit, and limit their minutes in the reg. season and hopefully keep them fresh for the postseason.Quote:

In a market that gives Fields a 20m contract and gives George Hill a 40m contract, that's a bargain.
Now it's time for Danny to get to work and stay hot
Just woke up and it was a great news. Hopefully Diaw is next then Timmy and some additional key player. :toast
Glad this has happened. DG has proven to contribute, despite his shortcomings in the WCF. He's still very young, and that experience gained from last year will only pay dividends for him going forward.
he lost himself some millions in the playoffs
Glad to see Green back. In this market I was scared he was going to get priced out of the Spurs range. Now hopefully Diaw can get reupped and the team can find a decent backup point guard.
