If that includes Parker then yes.
If Durant wants green any player is expendable.

Assuming we get Durant AND keep Green, the latter will have to move to the bench if we stay with the same lineups, which means we'll have at least 1 lockdown defender at the floor at all times. Question is, who plays the 2? Durant or KL? Or we could just go small ball with TP,Green,KL,Durant and LMA.

Three NBA teams are interested in Alessandro Gentile, ready to acquire his rights from July 1 and offer him a guaranteed deal, Gazzetta adds
Would rather than Hanga, especially since the team already has his rights.
KD likes scoring. If he goes to GSW with Curry/Klay/Dray, are there enough shots for him?
KD took about 20% of OKCs shots. While he wants to win championships, I'm sure his place in the history of the game is important too. Remember last year LMA's concern with being turned into a 15ppg player due to too much sharing. Scorers like to score.
Curry/Klay/Dray are not going to shoot demonstrably less no matter who is on their team. These are great players too. Curry took about 22% of their shots, Klay 19%, Dray 12%. That's more than half their shots accounted for. Harrison Barnes took about 9%. That's not enough. There's no room to give a 4th guy 18-20% of their shots. GSW only took about 100 more shots than OKC, so in an offense that's basically the same pace, he'd get somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 less shots. He cool with that?
In SA, Kawhi got 16% of the shots and LMA got about 15%. Next closest guy is TP at 11% and god knows that number needs to come down. Mills 9%, Green 8%, and down from there. Spurs take less shots overall than either GSW or OKC, but they absolutely have enough room to hand KD 18-20% of their FGAs. Using 15/16 FGAs, that's like 150 less shots for him, but in an offense that shoots way less overall. He wouldn't be doing as much standing around watching other guys shoot, and the Spurs would depend on him way more than GSW. As a bonus SA current best 2 players can both operate out of the post, meaning a lot of kickouts off double teams. Spurs were goddamn desperate for guys who could knock down 3s with Green and Mills repeatedly ting their drawers.
IMO his best bet is just to stay put. But if he's really sick of the constant struggle of playing with Westbrook, I don't see SA as a worse option than GSW for him. Guys want a chance to win a le and the chance to play their game. Bonus if they get a chance to be a hero. SA checks all 3 of those boxes for him. Not sure he'd ever be the hero in GSW and I don't think he'd be too excited waiting for his turn to shoot.
He should come back... would make watching Porker sucking up a storm more bearable, IMO.

Pop perfectly summarized the Spurs approach to free agency in @JMcDonald_SAEN's story. http://www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs/article/Spurs-will-score-sit-down-with-Durant-8325256.php?t=87e267c6eb927fc3fb&cmpid=twitter-premium …
^Either they want to come or they don't.
Cue in the "Pop is senile" crew!
Hmm Boban is very likely re-signed.
thanks for sharing Ace.
Reportedly leaning toward the Nets. He has apparently greatly improved his shot the last couple of seasons. Perhaps the Spurs could bring out the best in him...
Seems inflated. Plus the signing of D'antoni might mean Houston keeps him?
So the Spurs are serious about recruiting KD..
If the Spurs decide to trade Danny, it's better to do it for a 2017 First round pick. Wait another year and Danny will be 30, or worse, he'll have another terrible year and his expiring contract will be a pain to get rid of.
They could also trade Tony and have Murray be the starting point guard, which is highly unlikely.
Would be awesome to see him a Spur but isn't that only possible via treade? I know Phil Jacksonwas trying to trade for him pre-draft.

I don't see the appeal. He's a career 31% shooter from 3 with questionable defense and ahtleticism.
The way it should be. screw the mariachi , its for boys. Sign the contract, stop the bull , be a man.

From what I've seen he looks like more of a mid range guy that can get to the rim and a great compe or. Could be a good cheap role player. The reason I asked if a trade was necessary it's because I wouldn't want the Spurs to give up anything meaningful, even a second round pick, to get him.
Wroten is gone, damn.
I wouldn't mind the spurs looking into trading for Rubio and Dieng in a deal for Parker and Green in a salary dump situatuon. There is about a 7mil difference between Dieng and Green, and Rubio and Parker are only similar contracts, with Parker having 1 less year. In saying that, Dieng is my target here. He can be our starter with LMA. He has range, decent rebounder and shot blocker. There is a good chance that this scenario won't cost us a pick. Perhaps Green might even fetch a protected one. And I like Rubio game. He has the size to defend some sg's and can be paired up with Mills. If we are looking for a pass first pg with good D, he is someone too look at. He isn't the spot up shooter that we want, but if he was, he would be a star.
Once again, ing no to Rubio. This team will be playing 4 on 5 on offense every damn game.
