Thanks and I think it's highly unlikely we're the only ones that knows this.
We are going to need to be shooting on all cylinders to pull this off, but I BELIEVE. It's looking to be an epic playoffs!
Yep. Going to be epic!
I wasn't saying two firsts plus that package (first instead of Kyle or Boban). Or even suggesting the Spurs do it. But that's the type of package it would take to make numbers work.
IF you're reading for Horford, Diaw is the expendable one and not Green. He's also the only guy who can make the numbers work.
If you read earlier, I thought it was crazy to good after Horford because of the looming max dollars.

Amen!I am all for making visits to the Dmv less boring!
lol its not happening
What surgery did he have?
That's why I think Korver will end up on the Spurs' playoff roster.
A moment later...
You really are a special kind of re

3D players are a dime a dozen in the NBA. 6'10 All Star caliber centers that can play inside and out on the other hand, not so much. Horford is a much more valuable peice. Any smart general manager HAS TO jump on this deal if it is offered to them..... It would be much easier to find somebody to replace the things Green does than to find somebody like an Al Horford. This is a no-brainer, I hope it happens.

Hip surgery.
I'm with the others, definitely down for the trade. Love Green and he wears his heart on his sleeve, but this is too good to pass up. Then pick up Korver
List 10 guys then. I'm betting after the third one or so, you'll quickly run out of guys who are on Danny's tier in at least one of those categories. And two of the top three are probably on bigger contracts. There's a reason why most contenders are constantly searching for them.
Danny Green gets traded. Bonner stays
Yep. There are very few guys who could replace Danny on the Spurs - and none at his money. Since his early season experiment/slump Danny has demonstrated why he is a bargain.
There may not be many 3d players as good as him numbers wise looking at last year's stats, however there ARE plenty of 3d players that would fit right in if they were on this team and system. Danny Green is no all-star and I think you are crazy if you think he's anywhere close to as valuable as Horford who IS an allstar. Not that it matters now that the deadline is over... The Spurs could win without him. He hasn't done jack for the team all year and they've still been winning. In my opinion, he was expendable if it meant we could bring in Horford...

Start listing. There really aren't very many at all.
I agree that there aren´t many at all right now, but if the Spurs get the opportunity to get Aldridge-Horford-Leonard frontcourt for the future you just have to jump on the deal and expect that replacing what DG gives you will be possible via draft, trade or free agency. It is too good of a deal not too jump to, because it gives you a piece that is very difficult to add, for a piece that, while difficult to fill in, is more teachable.
You can teach defense and shooting, but you cannot teach size.
^This guy here actually gets the real point
Forgot blue font?
Free agents
afflalo
bazemore
crabbe
hairston
lee
mayo
trade
if we were trading Green for Horford then try to get hardaway Jr. With him.
developmentals.
Solomon hill
spencer dinwiddie
both are young athletic guys that play good defense right now. Maybe we look at them like Bowen. Develop their shots. Both are free agents.

Not even getting into whether those guys are good enough to even sort of replace Green right now (Mayo, seriously?). Thanks for the list. The issue is that every one of those guys outside of Hairston should make more than Danny next season. So if the Spurs traded Green to get Horford, it's not like those guys are going to be signable. You're going to see players getting Carrollesque contracts left and right this summer.
THJ isn't a three-and-D player. And he's not even playing Atlanta's injury-riddled wing rotation. I was going to say that maybe he could bring the offense that the Spurs also need to find. But I just looked up his stats, and he's a crazy-inefficient chucker. I'd rather roll with Anderson or Simmons over him.if we were trading Green for Horford then try to get hardaway Jr. With him.
Dinwiddie is under contract next season and is a PG (and a non-defen. Hill is only a UFA because the Pacers didn't pick up his option. That's not a definitive death sentence, but it's a pretty bad one, considering Indiana still needs legit wings to put next to George. In any event, these aren't guys you replace Green with. These are guys you bring on and hope you can eventually replace Green with. That's completely different. We all want the team to get a third defensive wing. Those would be guys to bring into camp to test that out, not guys for the starting lineup.

Maybe the Spurs could have swung a Lee side trade as part of a Horford main trade. That could have given the Spurs a body to put in Danny's spot at least. But outside of that scenario, it doesn't make sense. Horford is NOT a franchise player like guys are making him out to be. He's not a dude you sell the farm on.
God damn, these writers are awful. If you've watched enough spurs ball and warriors ball youd have been able to come up with the logical conclusion that trading Danny Green is re ed. What a useless POS site.
Get this into your thick casual mainstream vanilla Brains.
YOU NEED TWO ELITE PERIMTER DEFENDERS TO HAVE A DECENT CHANCE AGAINST GOLDEN STATE. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CONTENDING TEAMS HAVE THAT NEEED? ONE. SAN ANTONIO SPURS.
god damn I wish all mainstream and casual fans and writers be extreminated already. What a disgrace to the game of basketball.
I can get the average fan that doesn't watch much basketball outside of what's on National TV dismissing Danny. But Spurs fans? After watching him/Spurs for so many games and with what he's already proven?
I will never get it.
