^ Fat Boy take.
Green didnt make us contendOrS. Kawhi did. Get it straight chinook.

Marco is a Liability on defense, only a shooter. Not the solution at all to start.
I would sign and trade green for kyrie. Danny is gay for lebum and James is jealous of kyrie. Works for errrrybody
All three of the Medium Three did. They'd each still be ringless had one been missing.
So where do you draw the line with his contract? Say a team offers 12-15M annually. You believe the Spurs should match those offers? Jw if you have a certain price.
give me a break, living on the advanced stats -train.
1. Danny Green was 6th in the playoff in Spot up defense, not isolation. LOL that you use this "stat" as evidence - Glen Davis ranked ahead of Danny here… so I guess, since you are using these stats, Davis could potentially be his replacement or Prigioni, who also had better "stats" than Danny in some similar defensive categories.
I like some of what Danny does, he's soft, and I don't like that. He has mental lapses, that defensive leaders can't have, he pouts, and he's virtually garbage when his shot isn't on.
Im a what-have-you-done-lately person. Danny, has made some huge shots for SA, but his time to step up was during the playoffs when Tony was injured and SA couldn't score. He didn't. So why are people intent on giving him a HUGE payday, when he clearly showed he can only be highly effective when there is a big3 or 4 when it counts?
Don't want him to go, but if he's trying to get 12m then enjoy. He's no bruce. He's no Capn. He's no KL. He's not even a Tony Allen. Spurs saved him, he owes them. He should play for loyalty.
^What a take.
Danny cany dribble shot contested shots is a streaky shooter and makes dumb mistakes in the clutch. Great defender took.
the
Not worth more than 9mil a year.
I think the main issues is the Spurs need to realize LA isn't some missing piece that instantly equals championship especially if you're sacrificing key defensive guys. They essentially have to rebuild the roster for it to work defensively. LA's defensive impact won't be close to what the team has with Splitter/Green. It took a while (couple of years) in the past to get the right mix of guys defensively.
If $9 million per year is the Spurs offer than Verde is gone.
Buh bye
I love Danny but he ain't worth 10M. Perhaps with the new cap but not now. And if it takes more then that to sign him I wouldn't do it.
I mentioned him in the general free agency thread: Not sure if he got along with Messina, but he should have some kind of insight into if Weems would work in the Spurs system:
Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBA Jun 18 After a successful stint overseas, Sonny Weems has left CSKA and will weigh NBA opportunities as an unrestricted free agent.
If the Spurs sign Aldridge, and have to let Danny Green go, they might try to replace him with one of the following names, which are a combination of guards, and SFs, some who would be there strictly for defense. Most likely would be a different solution every night with Leonard at SG/SF and Anderson rotating with one of these caliber level players.
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, Gerald Green, Mike Dunleavy, Alexey Shved, Omri Casspi, Jared Dudley, and Landry Fields
I think people are really underestimating how difficult it's going to be to find a good fit with the Spurs' current starting PG, tbh..
Its ok tho because as long as the Spurs put a player of Keith Bogans' or RJ's caliber in the starting lineup they won't miss a beat! Heck, another ball dominant chucker may be just what the doctor ordered.
It's going to be difficult, regardless, and I think people are really underestimating that..
Add an offensive-minded player that does all the things Green can't(Beli, Stuckey, etc) = who masks Parker on defense vs. opposing backcourt players? Kawhi becomes strictly a defensive role player? How will Parker play as a spot-up shooter?
Add a defensive-minded player that can't shoot consistently(Aminu, etc) = how do you space the floor with Parker/that player/Kawhi/Duncan on the floor?
They won't find a replacement capable enough of coming close to replicating what Green does for less than what Green gets. As some posters have alluded to, if the Spurs let Green walk they're prolly second round fodder.
Green won't help the post Duncan era like Aldridge tho. And because of that you sacrifice Green. Period.
the post Duncan era, Aldridge isn't taking this team to les at age 32 and beyond. Once Duncan retires the Spurs become a lower half of the bracket playoff team at best.
Pretty much. Any team that signs Aldridge has a 2 year window to win a le with him and the only team I see that happening with is the Spurs.
It makes no sense for the Lakers to go after him tbh
I'm in favor of getting Aldridge if you're only sacrificing Green, but the Aldridge move is not for the post-Duncan era IMO..as BB said, he's going to be 32 and beginning his decline, at that point, not to mention the possibility that Parker could still be killing the Spurs, at that point..
Getting Aldridge is for winning 1 more ring with Duncan during these last 2 years IMO..
So what do you want or expect post Duncan era?
