wtf is Bow Wow doing? That's him in the driver's seat right?
ing if Danny Green made himself available Marc Cuban would give him 14-15$M just to spite the Spurs..This is new level highway robbery in the current market and can only happen because of the Spurs Org magnetic pull to players with DG character..Thanks Danny once more..

$30 million if you look at what Cuban paid Matthews.Danny turned down 20mil tbh
Holt better be payin' this under the table because the Spurs are getting away with highway robbery if not....
That's a scenario for a steady or slow growing cap. Not the case.
Explains why the Spurs have been looking for a 14th and possibly a 15th man. They'll prob end up a dollar under the tax
Wow, $40M. What a bargain in this current market. Props to Danny.
The flat structure is also noteworthy. First, it could means that Spurs aren't that interested in going under the tax this season. Second, it will give Spurs a little more capspace to rebuild in the post Duncan/Ginobili erea. Well, assuming Tim retires one day...
Wow. Danny is officially the man. I hope he's getting something on the backend because that's absurd.
Feel like it's gone from generous to absurd. No reason not to take max raises. The Spurs didn't need the money. I guess they're promising him Spur-for-life status or something.
Wow. The Spurs probably got the biggest colllection of steals in this off-season, tbh
I mean with Timmy, Manu, West and Green all taking major discounts other teams fans and GMs must be mad as
Didn't realize a reducing salary would have bumped them over the luxury tax in year 1. But no reason not to frontload deals to create maximum flexibility in the future. Plus if I'm a player, I don't mind getting the money now. Then again, could argue why would Peter Holt want to front the money now unless there's tangible benefit (beyond having another $500k to $1.5mm of added cap space in outer years)?

The fact that the Nets essentially went from being a huge tax payer to a non-payer, plus Golden State shedding Lee and stretching Gerald Wallace (don't think they could stretch Lee), and with the higher than expected jump in the salary cap, being OUT of the tax isn't as attractive as it might have initially appeared. Yes, Cleveland is a huge taxpayer but don't think they're a repeater this year.

Yeah, honestly that's ridiculous. He's in the prime of his career, no reason he had to take such a ridic paycut like Tim and DWest.
The franchise better take care of Danny. He's already repaid them in full for rescuing him from the DLeague. He doesn't owe the franchise anymore.
Its amazing to see how the Spurs can convince players to take less money to stay in San Antonio. What kind of magic trick do they have?!! Tim, Tony, and Manu have been taking less money their whole career. Then we have guys like LMA, DWest and DGreen.. No wonder we have a shot at winning a championship every year because we get guys who only care about winning. It makes me appreciate these guys more and more.
Aside of Spurs, 6 teams should pay the luxury tax: Thunder ($20M), Heat ($22M), Clippers ($17M), Warriors ($22M), Bulls ($6M) and Cavs (maybe $60M). It's a total of $147M which means that if Spurs go under the tax, they will receive about $3M in tax money distribution.
Spurs' ownership might have given the green light not to care about these $3M but it's still a significant sum. I guess getting Aldridge and the mammoth future TV contract with Spurs not fearing going into tax territory next season could entice ownership not to care too much about that money.
Spurs' ownership has never seemed to really care about making at much money as possible. It seems that their main goal is not to lose money. Spurs are lucky not to have someone like OKC's owner at their helm.
Green should not be taking less money... it's not like the extra $1-2 million in cap savings will be a significant difference with the cap shooting up. I understand the rationale of Green wanting to give back to the organization after they turned him from a d-league player to an 8 figure salary earner but he already took a huge discount at $45 million. Why take a bigger cut to save money for the already rich owners?
green and shumpert have the same contract
Why so funny???
There were people on here suggesting the Spurs trade Green and Diaw for Shumpert.
Wow! Verde showing some serious loyalty to the spurs!
Pfft, you think Green sacrificed? Pop agreed to TRY and not yell at him so much. Let that sink in for a moment and then tell me who really sacrificed.
Green is ultimate team guy in this scenario. I'll have a hard time saying a critical word about this guy. He is as good an example as there is of Spur material.
Let it sink in folks: aL Faruq freaking Aminu is getting just 2.5$ million per-year less than Danny Green, the greatest 3PT shooter in a single NBA Finals series
Wow, $40M. What a bargain in this current market. Props to Danny.

It's all been said, but major props to Danny.
If we think $10M looks like a bargain now, wait until a few years when the cap explodes and players of a similar caliber will probably be making double that.
Yeahh....we like to call those people "idiots".
I don't actually believe that. Green is going to make head scratching mistakes no matter what and Pop will yell at his ass again. Even so, looking at other contracts that have been offered, it's pretty obvious that Green left a lot of money on the table to come back to the Spurs on a discount.
Fixed. The period goes inside the quotation mark.
