i hope to see green stay with the spurs. it will be pricey, but having kawhi and green together at the wings is something that no other team can replicate defensively.
everything is in limbo right now with tim and manu though
this is Jodie Meeks' fault

Will WE?
Are you hoping for LA? Holy , him, Twilight, Kawhi, and DG would be insane.
tbh ur a stupid .
Spurs have no one to replace him. I think they pay him up to 8M to stay. His last contract has been a steal. Manu will probably retire and they can use that money for Green. Someone will probably throw 9-10M at him. Then it comes down to whether Green takes lesser money to stay.
I was originally thinking lower, at around 7M per year. But now my guess is 4 years, 34 million (8.5M/yr). If I remember correctly, teams can only have 1 five year contract. If that's the case, I'm sure The Spurs have reserved that slot for Kawhi.
Team WILL over pay for him, especially if he keeps improving. He's becoming one of the best role players in the NBA, the type of guy you need on your squad to lock down opposing guards like Cp3, Westbrook, Lillard, Curry, etc.
The question is, can the Spurs get away with signing him for less if TD/Manu retire? I can especially see TD retiring to spend time with his kids, hopefully by winning another le.
Spurs would automatically be rebuilding trying to fill that huge gap. They could go after free agents, but since when have they ever had success luring free agents?
I'm less worried about green and kawhi than about how replaces Duncan and what happens with Splitter... Splitter benefits greatly on offense by playing next to Duncan who even at this advanced age can be pretty much guaranteed to have their best big man guarding him. Splitter becoming a teams first big man on offense is not exactly a rousing prospect for the offensive end. Who do the spurs have cap-space to get that even acts as a pale imitation of Duncan?
Won't happen. The cap should come in at $63.2 million. If Tim and Manu both retire, the committed salary, assuming they want to re-sign both Leonard and Green, will be
1. Tony Parker: $14 million
2. Tiago Splitter: $8.5 million
3. Kawhi Leonard cap hold: $7.63 million (pay the qualifying offer then go over the cap to give him his extension)
4. Boris Diaw: $7.5 million
5. Danny Green cap hold: $6 million (then go over the cap to sign him to a market deal)
6. Patty Mills: $3.2 million
7. Kyle Anderson: $1.14 million
8-12. Cap holds totalling $2.54 million
Those contracts and cap holds total $50.51 million. With a $63.2 million cap that gives $12.69 million in capspace, which isn't anywhere close to Aldridge's market value. To me, best case scenario is having Duncan and Ginobili healthy and back another year, because their production will be impossible to replace with $12.69 million in capspace.
I'd much rather have Fat Gasol than Aldridge as well. Neither is a realistic possibility tho.
Assuming Green improves even more this year, a contract at 8-9mil is a no brainer for the Spurs. Locking up Danny + Kawhi for the next 4-5 years to pair with Parker/Splitter is solid start to life after Timmy tbh.
If they want to renounce Danny Green they can get pretty close to a max slot and might have a chance at Aldridge. That would mean starting Patty Mills at the two though, and filling out the entire bench other than Diaw and Anderson with minimum salary players.
A bit off, BB. Cap should be $66.5 Million or so next summer (it's $63M now) . Also, the Spurs will have to deal with LJC's' cap hold and the hold for their first-rounder. So the team will have around $15 Million in space.
When does he stop being young?
Can the Spurs renounce LJC? Nothing about his performance in France says he can play in the NBA.
I guess. But they won't. He's done them a solid for two years by staying over. It would be all kinds of messed up.
No way should Spurs pay Danny Green more than 7 million a year.
4 years/30 million is what it should be. Anything more and he can take a walk.
Yeah, and the Spurs can also enjoy their early walks home in the 1st round.
do you realize that 4/30 is more than 7 million a year?![]()
The new TV deal is supposed to be announced tomorrow. If you're thinking 7.0-7.5M, that will pretty much translate to 9.0M with the new inflated salary cap.
yeah new cap is apparently going to be around the 88 million range. 9 million a yea doesn't seem so bad.
7 mil under the current 63 mil cap equates to about 9.7 mil on an 88 mil cap
For sure and well deserved!!!
