NO NO NO, horrible shot selection alot of times! He is done IMO.
My biggest beef with him is that he has zero lateral movement... zero... any moderate young/quick player was going right past him like he was the US-Mexico border...

While we're at it bring in Jermaine O'Neal for spot minutes at C and we can have a Malice at the Palace reunion. SJAX will be following the spurs on twitter to complete the trio's reunion.
I think if anything happens at this point, it's gotta be Green+Bonner getting traded, I feel it's a pretty awesome package that could get us something really nice in return...
Bonner is going to get a new 2 year deal worth 6 Mil
The way this offseason is going, I`d like to see MWP as Spur
World Peace as a smallball PF would be a solid addition, tbh..he loves the Spurs, he's a good post defender, he's still able to bully defenders inside..he's poor as a starter at this point and he's a streaky shooter, but that's not a problem if he's coming off the bench..
Has there been any recent rumors of the Lakers amnestying him, though?..
He is done. He would make a decent PF for a team at this stage of his career but Spurs don't need that now.
In a related matter, the Spurs new road uni's will include "sag" trunks.
Green would probably have gotten a longer-than-two-years deal from the Spurs had he been a free agent this off-season. That's how much I think they want to keep him.
Trading Green would be foolish, tbh..he's a top 5 spot-up 3-point shooter in the NBA and a very good individual defender, which is a rarity..on a cheap contract, too..
He needs to spend the off-season adding a counter-move to opponents running off his 3, obviously..
His handles are not gonna improve that much this summer like they didn't improve that much last summer.
And I don't think they're going to do anything but if they did, I think that's a great package that a team like Houston would really like to get...
Green will never be a great ball-handler, but he can easily add a counter-move, many players have done it over the years..
This past year, he added the ability to make a pull-up 3, which is a skill he didn't have in 2012, tbh..for 2014, he needs to add a floater or a 1-dribble mid-range J, which isn't an unrealistic goal..just having 1 counter move would aid his game dramatically, tbh..
Nobody expects Green to be a creator, he just needs to have a counter for teams inevitably running him off the line like Miami did, tbh..
I'd be cool with picking up Artest. Can the Spurs make a bid if he's amnestied?
What happens to amnestied players: A player waived under the amnesty clause must go through the waiver process, which lasts 48 hours. During that time, a team can claim an amnestied player by making a full waiver claim and assuming the player's full contract. If no full waiver claims are submitted, partial waiver claims allow teams that have room under the salary cap to bid on the player and acquire him at a reduced rate. The team with the highest bid is awarded the player. If multiple teams bid the same amount, the team with the worst record is awarded the player.

I'm with bene as well, I think the Lakers will amnesty him to save a load of cash for the ed payroll and he will reach out the Spurs the way he did to Kobe, convince Pop and Timmy, and he will be signed for the minimum. Calling it now
Even Bonner and Bowen developed that 1-dribble midrange shot, so yeah, Danny can definitely do it.
I don't think it's a given that they'll do it, but it would definitely make sense for them to dodge the repeater tax since there's no way they're a legit contender anyway.
Rather have McGrady back than get him. At least McGrady has a little prior knowledge of the Spurs.
According to the shooting splits, Green already has a pretty good 17-20 shot (40 percent on 1.3 attempts per 40 compared to 37 percent on 1.5 attempts per 40 by swingmen), almost all of which I would assume were the result of one-dribble mid-range attempts. He looked bad doing it against Miami but he was better at it in the regular season. I think he really just needs Pop's blessing to take that shot more often, since it's at least better than that crappy floater he has. I think his biggest problem is that he has no confidence inside the three-point line. He needs to fix that, because when he's feeling good about his ability to finish, he's much better, as the Golden State series showed.
In general, Green probably needs to have a bigger role on offense for his sake more than for the team's. Before he was a starter, he seemed much more confident in his complete game. But he's gotten timid about going outside his role in the last couple of seasons. Not that any of that means he doesn't need to work, though.
MWP's brother would join spurstalk and be a regular poster if the spurs acquired him. Dude already posts on Lakersground
Pipe dream...
He would go to the Rockets, Clippers, Golden State.
We already have Marco and Manu. No space for a back up 3. We have one. He would be a 3rd string. Not a spur. I would think we would have Billups before Artest.
I was going to make a thread about that, tbh..
Next year's regular season should feature more experimentation from Pop from an offensive standpoint, tbh..obviously Leonard, but I'd like to see Green have a chance at running some offense, and Splitter needs touches in the post, too..
These guys need to be prepared for the playoffs, the Spurs shouldn't be relying on Parker and Duncan having a 28% usage rate, and Manu having anything more than 20% IMO..
