Leave of absence, hibernation and Fanduel points IMO.
Pop loves TP and hates DG. At least, that's how it appears.

If Manu retiring is what allows us to retain Green, then I do hope Manu retires. Green is essential.
The source here is pretty suspect. But it is true that one way or another the spurs are going to have to s out this summer to get what they want. No half measures.
Green >>>>>>>> Tony
Not sure how credible this is, but it would be a pretty devestating blow to lose Verde. He's everything you want in a 3 and D shooting guard, and him and Kawhi are a formidable wing combo. I would really rather have Danny and Tiago than Aldridge
Unless he get's the max or something approaching it, there's no excuse to not re-sign him and even then, it would only be a matter of whether they were comfortable paying him that, not whether they could "afford him".
The vast majority act like there's limited to no alternatives to dumping salary, when in reality there's myriad ways they could easily do so, in addition to trading one of Splitter or Diaw: There's Mills and/or Anderson, renouncing Joseph and/or Baynes, dumping the 1st for two high 2nds or a future 1st, etc.
Outside of attaining Aldridge, he's the biggest key (and question mark) to the off season, since Leonard, Duncan and Ginobili, are not going anywhere, except for maybe Ginobili and that will be to retirement.
Send him to the choppa.
Green just posted on Twitter that the rumors are false.
When? his last tweet was 5 days ago.
of course he's going to say false
If we can't keep him, how about we sign and trade to Atlanta for Sefolosha? Dude can still play D, even if he is getting up there in age and is injured.
He is taking less money then if not please send him to da choppa.
Dumb bc the only way we couldn't sign Green is if we maxed out a free agent and Spurs have no idea as of yet if they will be able to do that.
There you have it, straight from the horses mouth. Don't let this thread get to 20 pages.
Hope Green was telling the truth. Resigning him should be the #1 priority after Tim and Kawhi.
How much can Green possibly be worth? 3 point shooters like Korver and Dunleavy didn't go for a lot of money. Tony Allen who is plays elite defense and is very passable on offense is not earning a lot of money either. They all make $5 million or under. Green is younger than them sure but I don't see him making that much more. Wesley Matthews, who is a more complete player than Green makes $6-7 million. I think that's what the Spurs should offer and that would be a reasonable price for Green. It is hard to see another team offering $10+ million for Green.
Danny green to Cleveland. Book it.
Who cares about it? Stock hit rock bottom after his against la.
Depressing as that this team will be broken apart because the front office was re ed enough to give that French choke artist an undeserved $45 mil extension last summer.
op: shut up you big dummy

Exaggerate much? Spurs will be fine without DG. He is least important starter and the most replaceable.
"I can't believe they're leaving him wide open."
Green is an enigma.
He has such bad handle that he often can't perform the most basic basketball offensive maneuver--the layup. For Christ's sake, every player who ever played the game starts with that basic shot and they use it as a drill before games and practices to loosen up and Green makes it an adventure. Every time he drives, it is an "I can't look" moment.
His 3pt shot isn't consistent. Comes and goes. When he is hot, he is capable of lighting up the court and setting records, but when he is cold, he goes an entire game without making a shot. How does a coach use someone like that? He makes the starting lineup and finds that his SHOOTING GUARD can't throw the ball in the ocean.
He can play defense--when his head is in the game. It seems that when his shot is off it gets into his head and he lets his defensive effort go down as well. But when his shot isn't falling is precisely the time when he should compensate by giving the most effort on defense so he isn't a complete liability on the court. I think the way he played himself onto the Spurs was by his defense. He really needs to concentrate on that when on the court. It is a skill that is best demonstrated by effort and he can give that every game if he keeps defense first in focus.
You always want a player to work hard on his game to improve areas of weakness and develop new strengths. Kwahi is said to be a super gym rat always working on his game. I don't know if DG gives that effort. Can you work on concentration, consistency and basketball smarts?
All that being said, I feel sure the FO will probably bring him back if a reasonable salary increase can be negotiated.
