Danny Green took a major discount, it appears. Also, I still have no sandwich.

DeMarre Carroll has agreed to a four year, $60M deal with Toronto, league source tells Yahoo

Crazy lucky for the Spurs that Danny has never been one to chase money. I don't see how Green would not have gotten that same deal. Hope the Spurs packed in some incentives.

You can't sign contracts until July 9th, so if they got LMA they'd sign Duncan first to lower his cap hold, send the paperwork to the league office, then Aldridge probably 30 minutes later, send the paperwork into the league office, and then probably sign Green and Leonard 30 minutes later.

Makes sense. Cheers.

OMG! Yes! What a bargain.

In a market where Middleton got $70M, Lopez got $20M per year and freakin' Aminu got $30M, it's pretty damn likely Green would have gotten an offer between $50M and $60M if he waited.

Thank you, Danny Green. Thank you, front office.

Carroll for 15 per, as well..

Thank you LDN for the hometown discount!

That deal is going to look pretty nice once the cap goes up. Among guys who are mostly 3 and D wings, Danny's at least among the top handful -- and probably among the best at doing those two specific things in combination -- and he's taking less in this market to do that than, say, Middleton or Carroll.

Not that it's been much of a topic, but I don't think anyone can question Danny's commitment to winning (or to the Spurs).

i guess it's because the spurs saved his career. Still great though

No doubt, he was probably going to get $12 million a year easy maybe even up to $14 million a year. Spurs getting him for $11 million a year is a good price.

[Malik Hairston]

I hope they make a 30 for 30 on the Spurs' front office tactics one day, tbh, those s must be doing something behind the scenes..

Lakers didn't make strong impression in Aldridge meeting, sources say. Spurs can close on him. LMA expected to make decision fairly soon.

LOLakers

Edit: Whoops wrong thread. Still funny. FTL

Lets be honest, just cancel tomorrows meeting with the Knicks already...

[cantthinkofanything]

Holy . Parker-Green-Leonard-LMA-Duncan?
With a healthy Parker, this team would have a perfect mix of offense and defense. Can't wait till the season starts.

which ingredient of your "perfect mix" is Parker?

Damn. Green is better than Carroll.

It's now safe to say Green saved the Spurs at least $15M.

Amazing.

We need to build a statue to RC someday.

Yeah man, he took a 25% discount on what his market value is. I don't know if I could have done that in his shoes, but he always sounded like he didn't have much interest in moving on to another team with all the success he has had here.

[Das Texan]

Danny Green and the Spurs trolling the NBA. As per usual.

I just wonder if this means Manu told RC he's retiring. Otherwise it would be hard to clear the capspace for Aldridge without renouncing one of Green or Ginobili.

[baseline bum]

I think if Manu was coming back he'd be at that meeting with LMA in LA.

I think he comes from a pretty well-off family, so it's possible that he has never really worried about money and doesn't want to start now. But still, Danny is giving up more than any Spurs besides Tim has. I wonder if they are thinking about the tax in all this?

agreed - they're playing Risk while everyone else is playing checkers.

I really thought green was gone. Underestimated his relationship with team and with pop who just knows how to push the right buttons when it comes to getting the best out of his players.

[ironman2886]

Danny loves this team. He could have got more from other suitors. ing awesome.
