Yup.
Green's cold, 1st round exit.
Green hitting everything, championship. Ain't rocket science dumbasses
Parker is also gonna have to have a bigger role on defense without Green covering his ass, TD will have to exert much more energy w/out Green's help defense and shot blocking ability, Manu will also have a bigger defensive role, both guys are nearly 40 and will be burned out by season's end.The part that worries me about Green leaving is that they're going to force Kawhi to exert more energy on D while being a bystander to the Porky Show on offense
Next year is going to be painful to watch unless the Spurs pull something out of their ass, Green isn't easily replaceable at all.
Yup.

No. They have a system. But their system sucks. You get the idea.
Your long lost daddy said you shouldn't talk to your brother that way.
What ing game where you watching? The dude could not dibble the damn ball how can you be in the NBA and not be able to dribble the ball and take it to the rim? I mean did he ever take the ball to the rim? Did he ever try to even come close to taking it hard and trying to slam the ball to get a foul or make the shot? When he was air balling he was of no value on offense!! Sorry but if he can't score then he better be leading the team in block shots, and rebounds to be that type of player.
Green is a decent player that I like, but he is very inconsistent. If his 3 point shot is off he becomes nearly a ZERO on offense. While highly regarded as a defender, there are times when he just looks a bit slow and clunky or mechanical out there to me. Probably due to his general lack of athleticism, which I think he largely makes up for with his length and playing smart. No way would I pass on LMA to keep Green. However, one would think Green is more than welcome back but not someone we should overpay by any means.
We will be fine without DG. We are going to have to accept the fact that we can't keep everyone. If players want to win 50 games a year and be in The race for a championship, then they are going to have to take less or take more money else where and be on a losing team.
Please send Porky that memo....
unlike kawhi, danny actually is a product of the system. he's replaceable.
What is fine exactly? First round or second round exits? Not saying he makes all the difference but if he is there playing his D and hitting his shot he is HUGE for this team as we have seen in several playoff series before. He is a bigger part of the team then some think, that will show if you let him walk and don't get a good replacement. He fits the system well.
We're not talking about a single game performance. The comment was about whether DG has worked on his game. He has and he is much improved. It wasn't that long ago the guy's career was all but over. That doesn't mean he has Steph Curry handles, just means he's improved.
LOL, the system that worked wonders for guys like Steve Smith, Richard Jefferson, Marco Bellineli?
EYup.
You are re ed. No you win when you have a big 4 and not just a big 3. Everyone has to play well to ring. Idiots

Exactly, some people here are delirious.
In an ideal world without salary cap rules, you may try to find the perfect fit at the 2. But despite his flaws, Green is elite (top 10% at his position) in a few areas of his game (defense - versatility/on-ball/blocks, 3pt shooting) and it's very hard to replace.
We live in a world with a salary cap though, and it's going to be VERY hard to replace Green within salary cap confines if the team is chasing Aldridge and/or retaining Tim/Manu. If operating below the cap, even if you do not tender CoJo/Baynes and renounce other non-Kawhi free agents, you're at $41.4 million for six players (+/- $25 million to spend minus cap holds for roster spots). Not very much considering Duncan likely comes back at least at $8 million (down to $17 million).
I'd much rather have that $25 million reduced by Green's $7.6 million cap hold with a deal in place once other free agency moves take place than to try to find a replacement with limited cap space.
In the Finals last year, Danny made several impressive drives that ended in made layups and floaters. Even the announcers were remarking about it. The entire team was playing like a man possessed.
So I was disappointed to see Danny so inept at his drives throughout this past season. I expected a turned corner. It was hideous in the Clipper series.
How sold on Kyle Anderson is Pop? If he thinks he is going to improve next season, then maybe losing Danny Green is not such a horrible thing. Anderson at the SF, Kawhi at the SG might be what we see. If Manu and Tim indicate their decisions before the draft, I will be happy. We will know what we are able to do.
Can't believe considering Green's success and now that it's 2015 that we still have posters who think Danny is replaceable or "product of the system."
Anonymous GMs have said they fear Danny is a system player. Well, good, maybe they won't offer him big bucks and we can get him a little cheaper. I don't know if he is a system player or not, but he works very well in our system and I wouldnt let him walk unless I knew his money was going towards a clear upgrade. I don't see that happening. I think all the star free agents take the money with their current teams.
It's lose/lose since either he's either overpaid or gone. I don't see him ever again being as good as last year
Green, like almost any player is the product of the team around him. Played like and very large reason sa lost to the clippers. Needs to go or be understanding that he lost millions with his play
Green's improved every single year he's been here. Don't let one bad series affect your judgment.
I think most people look at Danny and say he's an incomplete player; that he can't create offense for himself due to his poor handles and lack of ability to finish at the rim. They also see a player that struggles with bouts of inconsistency on both ends of the floor. Now, if you're operating in a vacuum when Green is feeling it on offense or especially locked in on D, and you're not considering the implications an eight figure deal would have on the rest of your roster, then he's worth every bit of what he's likely to get.
But the Spurs don't operate in a vacuum. Bottom line...Danny's not just a product of the system, but he will never be a go-to guy. The Spurs need to focus on keeping or getting their go-to guys, even if it's at the expense of one of their best role players.
Please God no
