Batum...without a ing doubt.
This season parsons has been better imo, Batum up until the last week or so has been frustrating to watch
A top 15 player shouldn't be mentioned together with top 40 players...
Spurs fans do that with him and Enrique so why not?
I'd rather have 10-15m/yr space at hand and sign someone else with the money (like monta ellis who only gets paid 8m/yr something). Both guys are sort of overpaid, tbh.
True. I'd still take Batum though. He's just been shooting poorly.
Danny Green tbh
cheaper and better at everything
Parsons is clearly more talented by a mile.
While it depends on team needs, in probably 8/10 scenarios I would take Parsons.
By everything you mean spot up shooting?
Shaq was a better ball handler than Danny Green![]()
Sure Green is a terrible bad handler but Parson and Batum are nothing to write home about.
yet Green is miles ahead in shooting, defense, blocks, rebounding and everything else.
its a no brainer
lol no
spot up shooting and thats it.
chandler is the better ball handler and finisher ...
But Green has proven to be more than just a spot up shooter. He is a good not great passer has improved his drives a tad, but has become one of the better defenders and tbh without KL most of the year has been the Spurs best defender and should get DPOTY consideration. He has been what Batum should be and excels at what Parsons is just OK at.
Long-term I may choose Parson but for winning a le right now I take Green easily over both.
Uhh, no. You must not watch the Spurs if you think that. Green is an elite perimeter defender, can guard 1-3 and smallball 4s, by far the best transition defender in the league, added a pretty consistent floater this offseason, and while his handle sucks he doesn't turn the ball over. Also, on the biggest stage for 2 straight years he's been unconscious and doesn't fold under pressure, while Portions and Nicky are exiting in the 1st and 2nd rounds.
crofl as if Green's success isn't situational. Scrub got cut by the Cavs
I have no problem anyone choosing Parson or Batum over green tbh. go right ahead.
but I myself would most definitely pick the cheaper guy who is at the moment possibly the best shooter in the league and also an elite defender. no brainer
I posted upstairs I only have seen maybe 12 Spur games. This year. every game I watch that has been Close (GSW, LAL of course) he makes a huge 3 in the 4th followed by a chase block or key steal. How many elite defenders are there in the league? Tony Allen? K. A locked in Ariza? Maybe. Lebron has not been an elite defender for over two seasons. Kiwi is hurt. LOL at Harden as an elite defender so so outside of Dwight, tyson, Noah, butler I may vote Green. He should at least get aLL NBA Defense 2nd team consideration unless he gets torched all the games I miss. Not saying he is Bowen or Pippen but more like the Lebron, Paul George level of elite defender ... outside of Kiwi no on e has defended Lebronn better recently tbh
