They never mention it because it has zero impact on basketball or anything of note.
He also loves teammate wife er, tbh.

The only thing I didn't like about LDN was when he went out of his way to suck LeBron off at a club after we choked in '13, tbh.
I will admit that his defense no longer became good enough to make up for his offensive limitations as far as a starting SG in the Western Conference the last couple of years he was in San Antonio. However, it isn't as glaring as how Forbes' offense still isn't good enough to keep justifying his spot as a starting guard now given his putrid (though slightly less worse) defense. At least Pop has lowered his minutes and usage though.
Because Danny is a PG? Please! White's recent play, if sustained at decent level will create at least some controversy about who should be the starting PG next year. Those minutes would have likely come from Beli, Forbes and Mills; more so than White.
or they are ignorant of the fact. disagree that giving away $5mill is irrelevant.
Please explain how giving cash in trade impacts anything on the court.
I mean I still think it holds true. Thankfully Derrick White has evolved cause he makes the loss of Danny easier to swallow. And tbh people on here were saying the first few weeks that letting go of Danny was a huge mistake. We could have been wishing for him right now if White wasn’t a factor. I’d rather have Green than Belinelli and he’s a more reliable playoff performer compared to Bryn who is still unproven.
Also like Muge said, he would have been a better fit on this year’s roster compared to the last 2 seasons. He excelled in the beautiful game system after all.
It does get brought up from time to time. But there isn't any reason to keep harping on it. Obviously, Kawhi and DeRozan and how they perform affects the view of the trade. Ditto for the other two in the deal and for the guys who either could have been in the deal or filled in for the traded guys. The pick hasn't been conveyed yet, so we're going to talk about it. The $5 Million? Not so much. It matters in the sense that SA can't really send out cash as part of any other trade this year. But beyond that, it's just a curious footnote.
Kawhi put the Spurs in an incredibly position so they had zero leverage in the trade. DeMar has been better than anyone here expected. Poetl has been better than anyone expected (especially without Manu). If I had to choose one of Green or Mills to be a vet mentor to the young guards, I'm going to go with Mills. I don't think Danny would have had nearly as good a season as a Spur as he's having as a Raptor. I just don't see the point of re-litigating the trade at this point. Would I prefer to have given up less? Sure, but I honestly don't give a about the 5 million dollars. That's not my money and it does nothing for the cap.
I'm loving the way this team is turning out. I'd welcome back Danny at a cheap price, tho.
Speak for yourself manny
I said Derozan was an awesome trade
Called dat
Spurs wanted to get an all star out of this deal and the only way to do it was to give up Danny as well. I'm certain that this was the best deal available because i believe in Pop. People that have lost faith in him can say otherwise.
Danny Green has been garbage on both ends for at least two years now. Sure once a game he'd have his signature chase down block but overall his defense loosened and his marksmanship nose dived.
Tonight’s the type of game where green would’ve gone 1/6 and we lose by 15. Tell me I’m wrong. You can’t you know why? Because I’ve followed this team to long to know that statement holds water.
I like Green, but when you have the players that are currently performing taking his minutes now with him gone. People should be at least satisfied with how the trade is turning out.
Green could have a role in this current roster with guys like DeMar an White creating open looks along with LA. Defense could be a bit more stout with his presence.
But when he isn't hitting those 3s his contribution drops significantly.
Nah, Murray can't hit threes nor defend at Danny's level yet.
Danny G-League isn't even the best player in his familyHis cousin Gerald is playing better...
Nothing actually, media idiots need to say something to fill the show.
problem with green, he stop improving after so many years
pops barking in his ear goes out the other ear has no affect on him
would he still be the same player for the raptors in a spurs jersey say patfo didnt add him part of the package while getting rid of enrique, wheres that enrique gif staring at green through the time out huddle
Danny was injured last season, a healthy Danny would flourish in SA this season
So he had 3 terrible years in a row, but that last one was going to give us the new MJ.
Well now is healthy he can bloomingdale in Toronto all he wants.
Had they pawned off Pau instead given Poeltl was coming back, this roster would have looked a lot different as Green would have fit like a glove.Contract year Danny would have been an amazing fit on this team this year and the Spurs probably have a legit shot at the WCF.
Instead we couldn't pawn off Pau on them (who actually would have had a role this year with JV being out a long time) and RC gave Masai an extra 5mil in treat yo self money to boot
First off, one of Cunningham or Pondexter would have likely been replaced with another big to backup Aldridge until Poeltl was ready. Maybe we couldn’t have predicted he’d be contributing this quickly, but that big would be relegated to rest days.
Danny would also allow a lot more of Gay and Bertans at the 4.
Danny’s shooting and defense would have both been positives. Pau is redundant as long as there’s no injury.
One thought about Poeltl: You can't teach BB-IQ, but you can teach all the other things and you can bulk up. There are not many bigs in the NBA that can do in the Spurs system, what Poeltl brings to the table.2) Maybe but I doubt it. Jak had a nice year last year but he was still behind OG/Siakam as a prospect. I'm almost 99% sure that RC asked for those two guys first before settling on Jakob (especially with LMA/Pau and Militinov's rights). If RC/Pop really did prefer Poetl over the other guys then that's an entirely different discussion on what the the FO was thinking
You're wrong.
Am i? Hey but that 1 steal!! And -20 sheesh
