Meaning he is actually producing?

No but he's been the one putting with lol. Teammates getting hurt, Pop's whipping boy, and actually hits three's, etc
Depending on how this season goes, perhaps his relationship with the Spurs may deteriorate to the point that he goes somewhere else. Being the whipping boy on a winning team is one thing. Being one on a sinking ship is another.
I just don't understand why Pop is so hard on him defensively. I know he sees Green's potential and wants to push him to fulfill it, but the whole "take him out every time he lets a guy open for 3" is ridiculous, and happens way too often. It's especially annoying when he ends up sitting him out for the rest of the quarter/half, seemingly as punishment or something.
Ya, I really hope he didn't send him to the back last night for that reason(and potentially talking back, I guess), because that would be pretty ridiculous..
Especially considering how many ty defenders are currently playing for the Spurs and constantly missing rotations(almost everybody on the team)..
Reminds me of Bowen in 2008 and 2009 when Pop essentially gave up on him and constantly benched him in favor of BeliFinley..
I think I heard the ESPN people say he tweaked his ankle or something, but who knows. Regardless, we've all seen him pull Green countless times this season at the drop of a hat. 2 minutes into the game, Green loses his man or doesn't close out hard, and Pop pulls him immediately.Ya, I really hope he didn't send him to the back last night for that reason(and potentially talking back, I guess), because that would be pretty ridiculous..

He better not do this in the playoffs.
Ah, I see. Gotcha.
If Green gets the max, were ed.
5 years, $50-55 million would be a good deal.
4 years $40 million for Verde.
4/40M for Green
Max Butler
Set for three peat
If Green gets a contract offer from another team for $10 million a year, he should go ahead and sign. $6 Mil at tops from Spurs.

He isn't getting a max, but as some others have been stating, he is going to be earning somewhere between 5.5-10 million per year.
Some team is going to offer $10 million per year for verde.

With the cap going up a lot and smoothing unlikely, teams be looking to lock in players this offseason before the cap goes up by $25-$30 million. We're lucky too that the Kawhi max will be locked in under the current cap. I have a feeling Green is going to come in at $8-$9 per season - definitely in excess of the MLE. That will limit the number of teams who can go sign him. Even if we have Kawhi at ~$17mm and Green at ~$10mm, there would still be at least $60mm of additional money to go around under the cap.
Given that, only reasons Spurs shouldn't make sure to lock him up are:
- Wes Matthews can be had, with confidence he'll be 80-90% of the player he was pre-torn Achilles
- Ownership doesn't want to spend that much in the post-Duncan era
- Need maximum cap flexibility this offseason to grab a top flight talent, which only happens if Duncan retires
- Serious decline in his game expected; he'll still probably be very decent at the tail end of a four year deal
If going over the cap, I'd frontload contracts similar to Tiago, with the understanding you can't do that with Kawhi's max.
9 mil a year for four years is what I would give him. Well worth it tbh
Kawhi is priority #1 but bringing LDN back better be 1b. I'm going to be pissed if he's not in a Spurs uni next year tbh.
^ tbh
Underrated around here
Underrated yes but he's no Kwahi.
