Let's be real, Danny Green is getting the max

[tholdren]

He is top 5 in the league in +/- among shooting guards.

Plus minus is the Stat of all time. Has zero bearing on player individual performance. .... zero

43% in 3's makes him one of the most scary weapons out there, a whole 0.5% higher than Stephen Curry.

Basically when he shoots a 3, it is worth more points than a field goal from peak Shaq. He has a super fast release too, he didn't break finals three point shooting for no reason.

[hater]

he's still a 1 trick pony but he's probably the best 1 trick pony in NBA history

[Malik Hairston]

No.

When you have a 3 that can't handle its a niche. Guys somewhat like him, Brewer / Ariza for example, are NOT primary ball handlers, but they do have the skill. This is in imo, what really prevents Green from big bucks.

Ball-handlers and volume scorers are by far the easiest roles to fill on an NBA team, tbh..

Every single good team in the NBA creates a ton of open shots, it's very easy..finding elite 2-way players is very difficult, there are very few in the NBA..

[Chinook]

What? Spurs more than any team win at a better clip while missing key pieces. It's a testament to be in games and even win so many over the years while missing several of your top players.

Spurs have better talent than any team in the league. That's why they can survive injuries. You can see that there is a drop-off from Mills and Splitter to Daye and Ayres. That's not a system thing.

So you are saying if he could dribble well it would decrease his value? Or this would somehow diminish his other talents?

Whoa...

Its probably why we have a chance to keep him.

If green could handle the ball and create shots he would be the next Brandon Roy playing elsewhere IMO

as I said right now he's possibly ahead of Bowen as the best 1 trick pony - piece of the puzzle in NBA history

shooting 3s IMO

I'm saying every player that isn't a 2-way superstar(which is rare) has a niche in the NBA..

Green's inability to consistently create for himself doesn't dilute his value, his niche is one of the most difficult roles to fill in the league..

I'd have to check the numbers again, but he also has one of the best "gravitational pull" rankings in the league(Steph Curry is by far #1, for example)..his presence helps create for others without him even needing to physically pass them the ball..

[pgardn]

shooting 3s IMO

His D is stellar imo.

[Brunodf]

4/10 . There is no way Green will get more than 10 mil/yr from the Spurs...

He still make too many mistakes, his off ball defense is not good and his shooting is very inconsistent...

[hater]

His D is stellar imo.

this is a requirement for 1 trick ponies IMO

[timmy2003]

Did Bruce Bowen get a max contract in his prime?

[look_at_g_shred]

this is a requirement for 1 trick ponies IMO

Then that would make him a 2 trick pony

[RD2191]

Then that would make him a 2 trick pony

[hater]

Then that would make him a 2 trick pony

disagree. 1 trick ponies are required to be stellar defenders.

[Mr Bones]

^^ Neal has been the same player with Charlotte, the only difference is that they're a terrible offensive team that doesn't pass the ball..


The Spurs "system" is extremely overrated, just look at the drop-off from Kawhi/Green to the backup perimeter players..

[hater]

boom

I dont know any gravity formulas other than F = ( GMm)/r^2
Yes, hitting 3's and moving into the proper positions on the floor to allow for his shot and create room for others is a very nice quality he has.

Did Bruce Bowen breaks 3's record in NBA finals? Danny almost single-handedly kept Spurs in the series. When did Bowen ever have that kind of offensive impact for five games straight in a playoff series?

The game also changed enough from the Bowen era, 3 and D is valued a lot more now if you look at the contracts being handed out. With the new broadcast deal Danny will make 10 million plus from some contender.

[hater]

at this point I put Green in the same pedestal as prime Bowen IMO. not as good a defender but a much much better shooter. at this moment I probably take Green ahead of Bowen, but not by much

[timmy2003]

lol
Miami didnt show enough respect in his shot. Tony made some huge shots in the series, Tim was consistent on both ends of the floor, and Kawhi did a decent job on James.

[pgardn]

Bowen brought a disruptive quality that got into opponents heads that Danny does not seem to have the personality for. Bowen played mental games. Good stuff.

[Raven]

Green > Kawhi >>>>>>> Evita >>>> Benchinelli imo

weeeeeell weeeeeell weeeeeeell... giving up on the ferrari and going all dodge viper on us ?

[hater]

weeeeeell weeeeeell weeeeeeell... giving up on the ferrari and going all dodge viper on us ?

not denying he's having a ROUGH year. imo happens
