It does now coincide with Parker's contract and LMA's option. 2018 may well be a rebuilding year for the club.
Perhaps he took the extra pay cut to get a player option in his 4th year?

Though 2017 may be another off-season like this one.
more like retooling year (s).. With Kawhi in peak years and Aldridge settled in but with Timmy/Manu surely gone and maybe even Parker we won't be le contenders but a 48-52, 6-8 seed type of Pop-coached team..
2017 is the big one as we'll have max cap room again, but I'm not sure there will be many big time free agents moving that summer. If Durant and Westbrook leave, Ibaka would be a good player to pick up and he would fit well with Aldridge. Really it's way too far ahead to be thinking about it.
Next summer could be really interesting depending on how much salary Manu and Timmy take up. We might be able to get Batum at a discount with Aldridge and the french connection but unlikely we'll be able to afford him.
Danny said himself money isn't everything. He wants to win and be on a legitimate contender. He knows his role and he's happy with, plus a chance of legacy plus getting paid for it in a city he loves working with people he considers family. He bought happiness with his pay cut and he's still a multi millionaire starting on a NBA contender when at one point he couldn't stay in the NBA. Guy knows what he wants, and he appreciates his blessings. He said on his instagram how thankful he was for his position and his raise.
Good Guy Danny.
Yeah we don't do rebuilding. Too long of that and everyone will stop caring, lobbying for a football team and the Spurs will move and become something else. It's too bad Davis is off the table long-term now. Maybe we can lure in a star with our cap space once TD/Manu are gone though.more like retooling year (s)
Batum and Diaw as playmakers with the second unit will be fantastic but I'm not sure if Nic is willing to come off the bench.
Hopefully Danny is a Spur for life. He's easily one of my favorite Spurs. Also got to meet him in Austin 2 years ago at a Texas-UNC game and he was super friendly. Love that guy.
IIRC, with the cap to explode next summer, virtually every team in the league will have max cap room?
Next summer most teams will have cap room but I'm not sure how many will actually have room to add a max player. Most lottery teams will but in terms of contenders I don't think many will have max room. Assuming Timmy/Manu retires and doesn't take any salary next year, we could have $13.5m next summer and near $40m in 2017.
In 2017 I think at least 20 teams will have space to add a max guy at which point it'll be crazy.
keep in mind as the cap goes up, the max slot grows with it, as its a % of the cap
Danny likes to win championships... And he is extremely loyal to the coaches who have gone the extra mile to help him succeed.
Suspect he intends to stick with the Spurs for a long time.
Good to know. Thanks Teach.
Danny got ing screwed. Hopefully the Spurs give him the money he deserves next time.
Danny should have gave the Spurs more discount, compensation for his bad defense on CP3 on that last play in game 7 that cost the Spurs the last season le...
Is this another "wink-wink" deal?
Actually more shocked by Verde's salary than West's. Green @ a flat $10M/season is ridiculous. My guess is he traded the yearly escalations for the fourth year opt out, which also seems like a new development.
He gave the Spurs more of a discount than any of us would have ever expected and probably left $20 to $30 million on the table to help the Spurs.
Green returns to UNC to teach hoops, humility to young campers

Green now has a championship ring and an eight-figure annual salary. So what's left to accomplish? "There's still goals to achieve," he said. "I'm just getting started.""I still want to play for an Olympic team. I still want to get a gold medal. I still want more championship rings. I want to be one of the greats, try to be a Hall of Famer. But to get a raise for a job that you already thought was the greatest in the world, you can't ask for more."

Green has turned into the quote unquote typical spur. Class all around.
