If he plays badly who will want him??
Given that last year he did poorly against the clippers and still got paid. Will the Spurs look to find a better prospect.
If he plays badly who will want him??
Yup, I predict his contract will be moved (tried to) if he has a poor showing this playoff. His defense is good but we might need more consistent offense to contend with Golden State for yrs to come.
There's no if, and no.
Green's situation kind of reminds me of Malik Rose's contract a few years back. Malik also had a bad year after signing his big contract. They did move him. I doubt if they give up on Danny as fast. They won't move him unless somebody like Atlanta (Bud) or New Jersey (Marks) comes calling with a package they can't refuse.
It's a shame as Danny is exactly what this team needs, doesn't need the ball in his hands on offense, plays very good defence combined with nasty shooting streaks which can alter a big game in a matter of possessions. But as of right now he's a shooting guard who can't dribble the ball and forgot how to shoot. If he regains his form it's a no brainer to keep him, if he doesn't regain his form nobody in their right mind would want him. Have we seen the best of Danny, is this a slump and he'll be back or is he simply a Cleveland Steamer.
Who is the real Danny Green? A record breaking finals 3 point shooter for the Spurs and great role player who they were lucky to have when he was on fire or a Cleveland Steamer. It's so hard to tell with Danny. He is down on every major statistic this year, PPG, RPG, APG, BPG, SPG, FG%, 3PTFG%, very weird, he is an enigma.
2013 DG playoffs: 44%FG & 48% 3PTFG
2014 DG playoffs: 49%FG & 47% 3PTFG
2015 DG playoffs: 34%FG & 30% 3PTFG
It's no coincidence which 2 years the Spurs made the finals.
It's kind of a catch 22. Obviously we all want him to have a great playoffs. Which would also increase his trade value. But it could also mean the Spurs give him another chance next year. But I don't think he's made his way into the loyalty group that makes him untouchable. Some team next season might value him enough to give the Spurs something they need.
The guy is number 5 in career 3% in the finals and 2 in active players. Which puts him 29!!! and 9 spots ahead of Curry. Pretty similar for playoff stats too. People seem to forget that Danny can very quickly start shooting just as lights out as Curry. He'll bounce back.
Maybe we can trade him on draft night for another Kawai?? Wishful thinking I know.
Tony Parker is the reason he was good.
This is true to some extent. His ability to get to the rim forced other defenders to cover which contracted defenses. Splitter PnR also helped defensive movement. Now with LA and him being a jump shooter allows for defenses to just sit on players thus leaving more difficult three's for Green to take.
i would hope he would rebound then u would get more at the trade deadline next year
He is still good on the d
The problem is, in '13 he shot .666 in the first 5 games of the Finals. Then he shot .182 in the last two games.
In Game 6, he was 1-5 from 3P and 0-2 from 2P. In Game 7, he was 1-6 from 3P, and 0-6 from 2P. The Spurs lost those two games by 3 and 7 points, respectively. Danny had been blistering the 3P line before that, so his combined numbers look good. But his collapse in the Finals mirrors the Spurs demise.
Last playoffs, against the Clips, he had decent games in three contests (one of the losses). But in four games (three of the losses), he was a combined 3-23 from the 3P line. That was a tough first round matchup for the Spurs, and there was plenty of blame to go around. But if Danny had made just a few shots in those games, and forced the Clippers defense to respect his shot, we would have at least gotten to see a second round last year.

underrated post
GTFO. He can't shoot like Curry. When Green gets hot, he's very good. But he's got to have an open shot. When Curry gets hot (relative to his regular game), he can get his shot however he wants. Off the dribble, spot up, fading to the side.
That's over. No team is ever gonna give us a draft pick again if we show interest haha
You do realize that Don Nelson parlayed a single draft pick, through a three-way trade, and got Dirk AND Nash? He had the #6 pick in the draft, and got two future MVP's for it, in the same deal.
People didn't quit trading for the Mavs because of it. Not that the Spurs are going to get another Kawhi for Danny Green. But when guys like Kawhi drop to #15 in the draft (right below Markieff and Marcus Morris), the other teams just have to blame themselves for not recognizing talent. You don't blame the Spurs for seeing the value there.
Trade him to Atlanta for Bazemore in the offseason tbh
Green and Parker for Bazemoe and Teague
Too bad Splitter is and oft injured puss, he would be nice to have starting next to LMA next year. I like Bazemore a lot, but think Teague is pretty overrated to their success.
Horford would be nice if he was a little bigger
Teague might be overrated but I think he's a solid PG that would do well in SA.
Assuming both Manu/TD retire, no player beyond Kawhi is untouchable, even LMA..Parker status was iffy in 2010-2011, but he is now part of too much Spurs history and he is unmovable with that contract along with him terminally declining ..
Spurs will give Green a hard look if he keeps on shooting bricks (let's not forget this started in Clippers series) and sink us along the way..this team needs to upgrade its back court to have a chance at contending next season....
I mean there kind of is though..
They need to trade him and porker if they wanna beat the dubs.
