It’s like going from a Ferrari to a Honda
some of you need to stop lurking your ex's IG account.
Be stoked on what we have now.

Or better yet? Cheer for him and Green to beat evil Ainge’s Celtics constricted off of Billy King’s stupidity
Green hasn't been a Ferrari since 2014.
We got screwed and we need to move on from the whole fiasco.its bad enough we got a protected pick and the player they didnt want in poodle but we gave away green and paid for it
Raptors needed two people that have ring expierence
He's been pretty ty since 2015. Would have preferred to keep him over mills but he's not a big loss. His % will come back down. We watched him play for a long time, he's not magically going to be some better player now. It looks worse trading him in hindsight with all the injuries but literally two weeks ago everyone was ing we had too many guards.
I think the Raptors insisted on Green because their primary objective is to make Kawhi comfortable enough to re-sign in Toronto and Green is his best friend on the Spurs. Swapping Mills doesn't replace that.
They also wanted expiring in case kawhi bolts.no way they were taking on mills for 3+ seasons
That's what I was most pissed about at the time of the trade. Not only did they not get rid of Patty, the traded away Danny and his expiring contract. Completely fleeced.
Just a horrible job by the front office the last 3 years. This team is ed for a long time
tbh derozan could workout but poodle is still meh and we got a bs late first!?
Raptors were never going to do a trade with Mills being involved. Green and Kawhi will not end up being in Raptor jerseys a year from now so in the end the Raptors will be the ones who lost the trade. Spurs are not ed at all. They are just not a le contender but will be a playoff team the next few years. It's not the end of the world. A lot of you guys are suffering from PMS based on the Raptors win against the Celtics.
I'm okay with giving up Green, ESPECIALLY considering that Walker had fallen to them. Provided health works out, I have little doubt that Lonnie will be better than Danny ever was, and if you know my rep on this board, that I saying a ton. But not getting better incentive but Poeltl and a protected first hurts. I really like DeRozan as a piece, but the gap between him and Kawhi is immense. They needed OG or at least Siakam and for that pick to be less protected and have a chance to convey past this season. They were apparently close to giving up the pick instead of receiving it, so I guess that it could be worse, but they got screwed on Danny's value. He's worth Poeltl or Siakam by himself, and he was treated as a throw-in.
What does suck, though, is that I think Pop was going to try to trade Green this summer no matter what. He was always going out in a Leonard deal, and had Kawhi stayed, Pop was likely to send Green out for DeRozan or Walker or whomever anyway. I don't like the tone-deafness it shows to jettison Danny after locking in Patty and Pau and while getting ready to keep Bryn. It's even worse considering Green was hurt most of last year and was primed for a contract year. But whatever. Hopefully Lonnie becomes great and covers up any perceived mistakes.
when Danny hits threes, he's top oh his class in the 3 and D department. He just didn't hit crap for like 3 years. Law of averages, change of environment, contract year etc... recipe for explosion... sucks tho but it is what it is. Kawhi wanted out. and tho DD isn't what Kawhi is, he's still damned good and the passing and playmaking gets us closer to how we all want to play basketball here. Just sucks to lose a top 3 player...
I get that you're a Green homer but Charlotte and Toronto would have laughed Pop off the phone if he tried to trade Green for DeRozen or Walker and that's putting it politely. The Spurs tried to trade Green to Cleveland and they couldn't even land a scrub to be named later.
You're a ing moron.You still in the denial stage of grief.
You're a ing homer.
Spurs tried to trade Green in an Irving deal, along with Aldridge (who would have gone to a third team for the pick the Cavs wanted). Anyways, there's a big difference between being part of a package for a player and the main value. Green was not getting Walker or DeRozan by himself. However, PATFO apparently had a deal for one or the other that didn't involve Kawhi (or presumably Aldridge), and that deal almost certainly involved Danny and his decent value combined with his expiring status.
Huh? They're on pace to finish 82-0.
Irving didn't request a trade until weeks after the draft. They were shopping Aldridge and Green on draft day but not neccessarily together. Cleveland was one of the teams they were talking to but it was not for Irving. And if there was a deal on the table, what happened?
As soon as I read the Woj tweet at 3 in the morning that the trade was going down, i knew 100% Drunkford would get fleeced.
Both good points. I agree though that Spurs had explored Danny trades. He legitimately started struggling offensively once Lamarcus was signed and the offense changed and took him a long time to adjust.
Then last season him playing with a torn groin he looked awful at times. Just looked past his prime at times. He still had his LDN games but they were few and far between and not found at all close to the playoffs, which actually concurs with that torn groin worsening. He had changed his agent and IMO legitimately looked at the market before opting in after deciding it was going to be a tough market for him. He was at a low point in his career. I am glad for him getting his old reputation and game back. I just can’t wish the guy ill.
Should he start looking past his prime again, basically regress in the future from a good strong start, at least we know Spurs got his best seasons.
