Sounds about right.
Granted, it's clearly more speculation/hypothesis than rumor, but given that he's one of the most knowledgeable and connected people covering the league and not one to throw at the wall just to see if it sticks, I found it noteworthy nonetheless.
From 32:10 - 33:05: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/th...n-ricky-rubio/
I've thought they'd re-sign him for 4/$24-28M for a long time and though at this point I'd lean closer to or at the high end of that, I'm not sure they'd go much, if any, higher . . . yet I still think they'll find a way re-sign him.
Sounds about right.
"danny green isn't the on-ball defender that klay is"
I remember watching a game last year and the Spurs were playing some garbage team. I don't remember who exactly and the analyst/commentator says "Danny Green isn't known for his defense". I just walked out of my living room."danny green isn't the on-ball defender that klay is"
did you walk back in literally 4 seconds later to continue watching the game?

4 years, $30 million would be my guess. $9 million per sounds a bit much, even with the rising cap.
Let Danny walk if its actually 9 M. He's a good player, but definitely not worth 9 M. I know in comparison to some of the other players getting around that money he might have a case, but at the end of the day that's a significant contract for a player who really is just a 3 and D guy with occasional flashes of other skills. Especially going into the post Duncan-Manu era, Danny won't be worth that kind of money on our team.
Too much IMO
As long as the Spurs isn't paying it.
Pay him what he wants. Still young and he deserves it, imo.
I imagine this may push the Spurs to offer a five-year deal. I doubt anyone (who isn't terrible) is going to offer a $36M/4 deal, but I could see some $25M/3 contracts. If the Spurs go $35M/5, I don't think there will be a long waiting period to re-sign Green.
I think it's very possible some team saves up a max to throw at Klay then settles on $7-8 Million for Green. Smart GMs know that's a much better value. But I don't really see any potential fit for a Green deal in that range other than the Spurs or MAYBE the Knicks. Teams who need a win-now piece just don't have the cap space to give him that big of a deal. There's little reason for a Philly or Lakers to throw a safe a Danny. I guess Portland or Chicago (if they can't get something done with Butler) may end up being a darkhorse, and there could be some teams that want to S&T for him (Cleveland being one of them). But I think Green will leave only if he wants to. The Spurs will not be outbid.
What about Green on Memphis? Would that be possible. Defense would be insane and provide much needed offense. 3 ball at least.
if we loose Danny, it will be a huge lose in NBA 2k14 lol
hes worth MAX money if this was a game :p
They'll have a glut of wings under contract even with Prince moving on. I doubt they'd be interested.
It was Reggie Miller, so ya, we could make an entire book of inaccurate Reggie Miller statements, just on the Spurs alone
I hate it when my real life fandom conflicts with my video game team, tbh.
It would be a good fit. Mike Miller was a godsend for them in the playoffs, and Green could bring a lot of that + defense instead of having to choose one with guys like Miller/Tony Allen.
but as chinook said they have quite a few wings in waiting. but you never know, the Suns signed Isaiah Thomas even though they have dragic and paid bledsoe (not in that order)

"Just grabbing a beer, guys."
Not to mention that they also had just drafted both a PG and a play-making two-guard in the first round.
I've wanted to make a thread about all the predictions Miller made during the WCF. It was amazing how many of them were wrong, even ones I agreed with (like him saying Duncan was done for rest of the quarter after Tim went to the bench with four minutes left, only for him to return a couple of minutes later). That man is like the Avante of TNT.It was Reggie Miller, so ya, we could make an entire book of inaccurate Reggie Miller statements, just on the Spurs alone
Just looking at other comparable wing shooters in the top 20(excluding star players):
Kyle Korver: 6.2 mil per year(+1.1 RAPM, average overall defensive metrics)
Arron Afflalo: 7.5 mil per year(-2.5 RAPM, below average/poor defensive metrics)
Klay Thompson: probable max money(+1.5 RAPM, good defensive metrics)
Trevor Ariza: 8.6 mil per year(+0.4 RAPM, good defensive metrics)
Jodie Meeks: 6 mil per year(-1.4 RAPM, poor defensive metrics)
Danny Green: ???(+1.3 RAPM, great defensive metrics)
8 mil per year seems fair, anything less is ludicrous, considering how much other shooters in the league are getting paid, tbh..
I rewatched Game 1 vs Golden State from last year and when Thompson fouls out, Webber says "He needs to learn to not put himself in situations like that when he already has 5 fouls, fortunately they arent going to need him until game 2" They were up 16 when that happened and it was the first points of the massive comeback from that foul. Webber
Miller seems to think that every prolific three-point shooter is as much of a glass-cannon as he was. He was calling for the Thunder to take advantage of Green every time down the floor, despite how little success they were having.
