i really really really hate that Danny green got traded. i would've rather sent kawhi to the lakers if it meant not getting rid of danny.
we just screwed ourselves so bad getting rid of our best defender outside of kawhi.

Danny will regress after he signed his new contract this off-season
unfortunately spursfans (myself included) are living on hopes like this in every way this season
No, It just means Danny Green would be a Laker instead of a Raptor.
Why? Lakers could've matched $20M easily-no need for the Spurs to match $30M.
Biggest face palm trade in spurs history
While giving up Danny was obviously extremely re ed and I disagree that the trade could have been any worse (if RC had given up a pick instead of receiving one then he should have just been fired immediately), Danny would absolutely be trash on this year's roster.
We have nowhere near the playmakers that Toronto has and Nurse has already put in place a better system than Pop 15 games into his coaching career.
Knowing current Pop, Danny would have been relegated to Bryn's water boy this year even if he hadn't been traded out.
We still could have used him defensively, and last time he was in a contract year with us he balled out like crazy. I know we don't have as many playmakers but it was still a dumb move.
Idk but defensive guard is what we mostly need right now to slow down Rooks (Curry), Thompson, Jrue, DJ, Fourtnier and whoever Clipper guards were. I’m okay with our big defense, Gay on Durant last night, LMA 15 boards, Poeltl getting better. Agreed when Murray/LW4/Huestis get back and White getting better (I don’t doubt it) Green would be the odd man. But for now we could use a lot of his defense. But I’m starting to like Poeltl in return since we will be heavy on defensive guards/sf next year.
This. I'm sure "Danny League" would have still be around in the antiquated system.
DG fits much better on Toronto than he would on this team and I think he's more motivated and needed a change of scenery. Of course on paper we could absolutely use him and would be better, but we wanted the turnover and he wasn't going to be a long term piece at the 2 anymore anyways bc of his age and us drafting Lonnie Walker so I'm assuming we were going to let him walk after the season. I could also argue that defensively Murray would have probably played the Green role this year and he would've probably done it better than Green can at this point. I'm not sure all of that is valid but I somewhat understand why we did what we did.
some spurfans.. not all obviously, will make any excuse for PATFO. It's a waste of time, but could Danny have been better than the entire guard roation outside of derozan this year? yes. He also could play some SF minutes if you needed him to. bleh.
One gets tired of chiming in the same things.
A reasonable opinion unfortunately. He played injured last year so I think he would have definitely been better than last year regardless... but the Pop at 70 yrs of age is definitely not beyond riding Forbes, Mills and Marco and destroying Danny's confidence getting in his face for a mistake while Patty does cartwheels on the floor.
He grew his balls back.
One wonders what got him neutered in the Spurs...
He definitely was injured last seaspn tho. It's not just that he said it, he looked injured in many games.
That would make sense if our 2 best current players weren't 30+. patfo got absolutely fleeced in the Kawhi trade. I did my fair share of hating on DG but the dude is obviously missed. Patfo ed up big time.
Dude DDR just turned 29 a few months ago. There’s a good chance trading Danny instead of Mills/Gasol was the difference in landing DDR instead of a Fultz/Ingram/Kuzma type player. And I do think the Poeltl addition is understated right now bc of his struggles early on
He probably got tired of Popovich yelling at him everyday. No wonder he played like these past few years
Pop literally pulled him :30 seconds into a game for making a mistake. Meanwhile, Paddy can make nonstop mistakes for 30 minutes without repercussions. Pop no longer living rent free in Danny's head.
either that or bricking shots away from enrique
