    Very happy about this.

    Others in the thread have already said what I want to say, but to reiterate: entering his prime coming off a major growth year, could still improve at both ends but at worst a versatile swing off the bench, and I think he'll learn a lot from the WCFs. Let's not forget that he was great in the first two rounds of the playoffs, so he's not daunted by them, just had a poor shooting series against OKC. And the fact that he was keen to return when he could have tested the market for more $ says a lot about him.

    Welcome back, Danny!

    Very good news.

    He faltered big time in the WCF, but if he can even improve at a rate of 30% of what he improved during the last offeseason, the Spurs will have got an absolute bargain.

    Improving his offensive game in the keyway and his defensive game navigating around screens and the Spurs will have themselves a very, very good player.

    Great deal.

    1. the fair price he came back for

    2. He could have easily been overpaid by another team with the way this offseason has been going.

    As others have already pointed out with all of the crazy money being thrown around this offseason to players that are arguably much worse than Green, I don't think very many thought it was quite the lock that you did.

    "We" all knew nothing, especially when GMs started handing out ridiculous contracts. And people are stoked because Danny is a good rotation player that would've been tough to replace with limited cap flexibilty.

    Perfect deal and Green hasn't reached his ceiling and will only get better in the Spurs program. I think Green could become an elite defender so we would have 2 stud defenders on the wings. Also, I think the Spurs will definitely make a move for a physical big via trade. I just can't see all those guards coming back.

    Two good wing defenders would reduce the pressure on Duncan to protect the rim.

    Interesting tweet from JMac:

    Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN
    As others have reported, 3 years and $12 million for Danny Green. Not bad for a guy who didn't clear 90K last season.


    a raise for DG.

    Glad to see he is coming back. I hope he can learn from last year's WCF flop and improve his game.

    Another good thing is, I believe this keeps Manu and Jack coming off the bench to quarterback the second unit, and limit their minutes in the reg. season and hopefully keep them fresh for the postseason.

    Can't complain about it. That's a reasonable deal. A bit more than i thought (10m/3y), but Green is worth it.

    In a market that gives Fields a 20m contract and gives George Hill a 40m contract, that's a bargain.

    Just woke up and it was a great news. Hopefully Diaw is next then Timmy and some additional key player.

    Glad this has happened. DG has proven to contribute, despite his shortcomings in the WCF. He's still very young, and that experience gained from last year will only pay dividends for him going forward.

    Glad to see Green back. In this market I was scared he was going to get priced out of the Spurs range. Now hopefully Diaw can get reupped and the team can find a decent backup point guard.

    Awesome news! Finally something positive in Spurs world - especially the the length and $ amount of the contract.
