Maybe he's advocating salary dumping Splitter for nothing?
What a ridiculous article. Does he expect Duncan to play for free and Green to take a $4 million a year again? Because that's pretty much the only way that team could be built under the cap next season.

He said one of Diaw or Splitter, not both.
Tim could say "F-it" and play for the vet min.
I think TD gets paid.
If Danny wants a whole lot he can go back to NY and turn back into a pumpkin.
Not a chance. And I wouldn't want him to with the amount of work he puts in. It would be so easy to say "F-it" and let his preparation slip if he's being paid like he's Bonner.
What would you pay Green? I'd be fine with $8 or $9 million a year, especially since his cap hit is only about $6 million.
Sounds a bit high. I'd say about 6 (especially since that is his cap hit, whatever that means).
Seriously, I would not overpay for Green and I doubt the Spurs will. He's not a difference-maker he's an upper echelon role player.
If I'm the Spurs, I give Green a moral commitment to a long career at a reasonable salary (6-8 million a year).
Green has to weigh that against a higher salary for a year or two and then oblivion. Plus, if he goes to the Knicks for big jack he'll back reviled in his hometown for the rest of his days.
$6 million is pretty low for a quality role player, especially one who starts. I think $8 million would be a big hometown discount if Green signs for it, since that's what a sixth or seventh man was pulling in free agency last summer. The reason Green's cap hit is only $6 million is because it's 150% of his bargain basement $4 million contract he was on this season. So the cap hold the Spurs have on Green is $6 million, and they can go above that after making all their free agent signings. It's the exact same thing they're doing with Leonard since his cap hold is much smaller than the contract he'll end up getting. With the huge jump in revenue in 2016-17 thanks to the new TV deal, Green at $8-$10 million a year could look like a pretty good bargain contract after the first year.
I think if Aldridge wants to come here, its likely we do a sign and trade with Splitter (Port was preparing an offer sheet for him bf we signed him) or salary dump him and a first to a team with cap room. That would free up another 10 million or so
Okay then, let's do it.
But does that keep us from signing LA? And is LA worth it.
Will he fit in, be effective? Will he clash with Pop?
Can/will he play D?
I could see it being the end of Pop if Aldridge is an overpaid prima dona.
I'm on the fence about LA -- a 6'11'' guy should shoot a higher %. On the other hand, he is a Horn.
They were after Splitter so they could pair him with Aldridge. They won't S&T for Splitter if they're sending out LA in exchange.
To get Aldridge there are probably four possible scenarios:
Scenario #1: Duncan retires
Scenario #2: The Spurs renounce Green and he leaves, while Duncan signs for about $6 million
Scenario #3: The Spurs salary dump Splitter for nothing, or work a sign and trade with Portland
Scenario #4: The Spurs salary dump Parker
All four scenarios assume Manu retires.
I hope he is assuming one of Diaw/Splitter get moved (maybe in a S&T for Aldridge)
Else he must have been hanging out with Aron Baynes too much over the weekend.
i hope they do something creative with Green. Maybe a 3-4 year deal w/ opt out after 1-2 years to take advantage of the new revenue streams.
regardless, if they can get green anywhere from 8-10 mil, i sign on the line that is dotted yesterday.
Nope. Too much.
Nah, I don't want to pay Green his market value under the new TV deal. This is the time to sign him for four years. Signing a short term hometown discount does nothing to help the Spurs cap figure unless he takes something ridiculously low like $4 million a year.
They could also salary dump Diaw, but I think that would be a really hard sell to other teams after how lazy he was in Charlotte. And I don't want to lose Boris anyways since he's going to have to be the engine of the second unit with Manu likely retiring.
Green wants back which means he'll probably take less to be here, but not too much less.
i can understand that completely as well (the not paying green market value under the new deal)
they need to both just agree to 4/36 and be done with it, everyone is happy in the end.
or maybe Duncan signs for the vet minimum with a wink, wink agreement for max dollars next year.
we can dump any excess salary to the sixers for a pick, tbh
Green will likely sign for 8m/4yrs. Cuban could offer 10m, but I think Green takes the discount for the team that believed in him, made him a starter, and got him a nice piece of finger bling.
Some of you have no idea what an elite role player is worth. Players that play amazing defense and break franchise records for 3s made don't grow on trees. It'd be nice if he gives a hometown discount but LDN deserves anything up to $10 mill per yr.
LOL, Splitter and the 2015 first for their 2015 second rounder?we can dump any excess salary to the sixers for a pick, tbh
