Facts..
Sure, we can forget Game Three of the 2014 Finals and the following regular season where he helped support and injured team. , he even did a bunch in Game Seven in 2015, though people misremember that series as one where Green sucked most of the time.
Facts..
Kawhi Leonard is the only roster player that is irreplaceable. I don't know what your Danny Green fetish is all about, but he isn't nearly as good as you seem to think he is and he's absolutely replaceable.
It wouldn't hurt for the Spurs to strike while the iron is hot. Trade him while he still has value.
According to Jabari Young, NBA GM's project his range to be 3-4 years and $8-10M and "and right now, the feeling is that the Spurs will probably not try to go after him again". He mentions lack of cap space; as if they won't have the MLE, which is right in that range.

Nets or Suns?
Mulitinov >>> Deadman
Sign Splitter for the minimum.
You make me want to go fishing... it sucks I live in a desert.
I have a million SW Airlines points... I think I'm planning a trip to go deep sea fishing.
Or maybe he just wasn't that good and couldn't keep up with the likes of Houston and Golden State.
I've said since the day Splitter was traded that he'll likely end up a Spur again. I think there's a good chance he's signed for the minimum, but him and Milutinov don't possess the athleticism or toughness of Dedmon and both of those things are sorely lacking up front.
I don't understand the aversion this fan base has to the notion of paying just about anybody. It's as if you're all under this illusion, that if they just have as much cap space as possible, some Duncan or James level player is destined to fall in their laps. Money will be spent this summer, they won't have nearly as much flexibility in '18 as it appears at the moment, the free agent class is weak anyway and though they could take on money in a trade, no one is salary dumping some game changer.
Lose the majority of the free agents, go cheap with replacements and the team will be worse off, with no clear path to improvement in the near future.
Oh noes, we lose another Jackie Butler. Time to go get another one from the D-League I guess...
This.
Never understood ST's love affair with Dedmon. Guy completely fumbled his opportunity as a starter.
On a frontcourt that is devoid of athleticism, youth and defensive tenacity, Spur fans are okay with losing the one guy (although very flawed) that possesses 2 out of 3.
And they want to replace him with either a washed up Tiago Splitter, an inexperienced Nikola Multinov or playing out of position LaMarcus Aldridge?
And comparing him to Jackie Butler to boot.....
LMAO
The Spurs are the finishing school for overlooked bigs.
They come, increase their value, then move on.
Not a bad reputation to have.
Dedmon went to the locker room during the second half of that last game, he told Pop to FO. they had to talk him into coming back to the bench.... Do the math.
When did that happen? I watched the game and I don't remember that occuring.
I was there next to the bench. Nobody gives a crap about Dedmon.
i wish he could take Gasol with him
Mohammed, Elson. Those guys helped get championships.
Clearly, since the team is rumored to be moving on from him. They still need youth, athleticism and rim protection since Pau, LaMarcus & David Lee provide very little of those three things.
Link kaput.
Can we get this clip elsewhere?
Does Kawhi Leonard give a crap about Dedmon?
Spurs need to somehow acquire some draft picks or, at the very least, move up. The draft is the answer to replacing Dedmon.
GSW will sign this guy and he will give the Spurs headache next season.
