After spending a season getting over himself... maybe
Kid was looking pretty solid the past two games. Think this guy could fill the backup SF hole?
Thoughts?
After spending a season getting over himself... maybe
He didn't look solid at all vs. LA, he was actually pretty horrible..
He's got a lot of talent, but he's also got a lot of green. You never know though. He could be the next George Hill (remember when we were saying George could be the next someone?)
hasnt shown me much too early to tell i guess
Pop doesn't have a good track record in developing and keeping talent.
See Stephen Jackson.
i liked what i saw out of green today..
Didn't Jack take less money to go to Atlanta?
I think you're right about Jackson. Maybe Derek Anderson is who I was thinking about.
But I think it was a 2 year deal, with opt out after 1st (Not positive about the opt out, though). Jack gambled and went for an audition deal after contract talks with the Spurs didn't work out. I imagine the Spurs wanted a longer term deal at lower overall dollar than Jack ended up getting in the market.
The Spurs sort of "lost" DA, but he got pissy because the Spurs were signing Robinson and attending Timmy's wedding. He was never worth a ever again, so it was a blessing in disguise. When he was on the news showing his big house and then crying the same day about how mean the Spurs were he showed that he wasn't Spurs material.
Were there talks? I seem to remember that he jumped at the Atlanta deal almost immediately.
Well, I get less and less certain about my memory with each passing day...early senility, I'm sure...but that's what I seem to recall...
DA was such a whiny baby...and purportedly he was all about "loyalty" or something like that...
I completely sympathize. Revisionists on Spurstalk don't help me in matters like this, but I remember being really surprised at Jack and his agent when they made the decision to go to the Hawks. In Pop's defense, I don't know that I would want a guy who would refuse to sign a three or four year deal because he would rather showcase himself on a losing team. Jack, for all his obvious talent, has made a difference nowhere he's been since he left the Spurs.
Except when he was an integral part of the Warriors taking out the Mavs.
He was good with the Warriors, but difference maker? That team was loaded with Mav killers. Davis and Richardson and Harrington and Barnes (sorry the names popped into my head one at a time) were all at least as valuable if memory serves.
And let's be realistic: The Warriors got steamrolled by the Jazz after that, so you can't really argue that you're a difference maker on a team that wins a single playoff series.
I agree. They were all important that series. But I think Jax was near the top in his defense of Dirk and hitting some big shots. But it's been awhile. In any event, it's always heartwarming to remember my favorite non Spurs basketball moment.
TBH, I totally forgot what happened to them after the Mavs series. You make a good point.
Green looked awfully good versus the Suns. Honestly, I enjoy watching his all-around game much more than watching RJ. I'm anxious to see if he can keep it up. Of course, I wouldn't expect to see much of Green in theses playoffs. However it is interesting that he seemingly moved ahead of Anderson, late in the year.
I've liked Green since the first time he was with the Spurs. He shoots the ball well, and he hustles. Sure, he has a lot to work on, but it says something when a team resigns you after releasing you earlier in the season. He won't see much, if any time in the playoffs, but I hope he's in camp fighting for a job.
Green looks to be a player who seems to be at the right place at the right time. Can't say the same about RJ...He's has really regressed.
Green has some Raja Bell potential. Spurs should take care this time.
I liked what I saw although Green imitated RJ a little too much by shooting too many threes instead being aggressive. I see potential ... especially on the defensive side.
He didn't shoot the ball well against the Lakers but I like him. He's very athletic and he could help us. I hope he stays.
