ing love Danny. Takes a special kind of person to put up with Pop's tirades, take a paycut, and not beat this down for pulling this crap tbh....

[mbass]

Yessir!

YEA!!!!

He gave a nice interview at today's SL game where he said that to him money wasn't the only thing, being happy and comfortable with your situation and winning were major factors in his decision (not verbatim). Solid young man.

Danny Green: Ascending

[baseline bum]

Ya, this..looks like Green took a substantial paycut, since he was apparently the Pistons' #1 choice(among other teams) along with Carroll, according to reports, but Duncan's paycut is ridiculous..

How much would Phil Jackson had offered him?

[baseline bum]

LDN for $45 million when DeMarre Carroll got $60 million and Wes Matthews minus an achilles got $70 million? I mean the money wasn't close at all and he still came back.

Don't forget the lack of state taxes. For that high of salary, state taxes can reach 13.3% in liberal states like California

Kudos to Danny Green.

He isn't a superstar and could have taken more money that he deserves elsewhere, but he took less money to come back.

It is a different situation from Duncan and Manu had earned a ton of money previously.

Different also from David West who also earned a ton of money.

So he deserves a lot of support for his sacrifice.

Yeah... an he still knows that he's going to still be Pop's whipping boy!

Green is a character guy. Who else could be cut twice, be beaten up like him, and take a cut of millions to stay?

Its not that big of a difference tbh. Only counts for games played in non-tax states and property and sales taxes are much higher in TX. Definitely not the $12m he most likely gave up

[slick'81]

Noway ldn was homing anywhere.he knew this was the max spurs could give him and given what Duncan took ldn wasn't leaving

Go by per year though. He likely only gave up 2-3 million per year, and he could make up the rest by investing. Hope Duncan doesn't recommend him his old financial advisor for that though

If your company is the Spurs (HQ in SA) and you're making money with that organization, your employment base is TX. Away games out of state are still legally earned in TX because the home company is in TX.

Not how it works, at all. You get taxed on every game at the local rate. It's been that way for years. It still helps to have 41 home games in TX, but if the schedule breaks wrong, he could pay up to 8 games of Cali taxes.

[TXstbobcat]

Before free agency started I thought he would take some ridiculous $15 million + per year offer from another team. I'm so glad I was wrong and that he gave the Spurs a discount.

When he posted this, my gut was telling me he was gonna try his best to stay with SA.

With The Golden God gone, Danny just might be my new favorite player on the team....

Green and Kawhi are the wing tandem to be reckoned with. Our team is badass!

Yep..Golden State is here to stay for the next few years, and there's no better foil to Curry/Thompson in the league than that of SA's..

[Russo21]

A great sign that LaMarcus played a role in Danny's return. As LMA is liked and respected by his peers it bodes well for future F/A signings. LMA seems like a nice bloke and i'm thrilled DG is back with the good guys.

[tim_duncan_fan]

He was basically a D-League scrub and yet he called himself out for not beating OKC. That man is a ing champion. That is just pure intellect, and to come back the next year 20, 40, 50 times better is sheer determination and will to succeed.

Thank you, Danny Green. Regardless of how this series ends, I hope you never play for another team again. You're the quintessential Spur.

This only gets truer, man.

Besides Tim, Danny IS the Spurs. I'll never forget that he's the one that brought defensive emphasis back to the Spurs after we had given the up.
