I bet Pop puts Aldridge in the Kawhi category in that he's too introverted to respond well to a public tongue lashing.Hopefully Aldridge isn't in the RJ category..
Yeah come to think of it, I really can't specifically recall a time where Pop ripped Kawhi a new asshole in the middle of a game.
Also, I think it'll help when Aldridge sees one of his idols in Tim Duncan get chewed out. He'll know not to take it too personally or anything along those lines.
Key guy to bring back. Not just the outside shooting touch but underrated defender, rebounds solid for a guard, not to mention blocks a shot a game.
Pop yells at Diaw pretty intensely, too, IIRC..that failed inbounds play earlier this season is stuck in my mind..
Boris doesn't seem like the type that cares about anybody yelling at him, though..
Plus he plays like he cares and he's a winner... he just put his money where his mouth is....
I imagine we'll see some ripping this season. The training wheels are officially off.
I just hope Danny finally gets the minutes he deserves. No reason Green shouldn't get 30+ mpg this year with Belinelli being gone and Manu being another year older.
I know some people worry about our wing depth, but if Kawhi and Green get the minutes they should get (35-36 for Kawhi, 32-33 for Green), it really shouldn't be too much of an issue assuming guys stay healthy.
Yeah, Diaw is in Manu's category. Pop's yelling just doesn't even register. Something about those creative players...Pop yells at Diaw pretty intensely, too, IIRC..that failed inbounds play earlier this season is stuck in my mind

His monster performance in Game 7 has gone unobserved in our elimination..It was too late, but I have never seen Green laying it out court like that..That rejection on Griffin was just wowwww..
He was too important to replace. glad hes back.
Absolutely love Verde. Dude is 100% Spur now. He's come such a long way from being Lebron's dancing buddy on the bench.
Before the summer began, most people figured getting LeMarcus was a longshot. , I saw a few posters (really good ones in fact) go into depth about how it was just logistically impossible.
It therefore became a foregone conclusion that if we DID get LMA...Danny was going to be gone. And considering his value to the team and the difficulty of trying to replace him, I was on the fence of whether that move would even be worth it.
The fact that we got Aldridge AND kept Green, and Mills, and Bobo...still just blows my mind. And that is largely in part to the sacrifice Danny and Tim made. This team wouldn't be possible if he hadn't stayed loyal to the Spurs and had gone chasing a payday. , it probably wouldn't even have been possible if he hadn't made his decision as quickly as he did, which allowed the Spurs to be in the forefront of the Aldridge sweepstakes. And his LMA tweets immediately following the announcement show that he knew there was a bigger picture being painted.
He deserves a huge amount of credit for that.to Danny Green.
Oh, and then we went and signed David West for the minimum.
Remember when the ing idiots said Green could be replaced by Belinelli or Gary Neal if DG decided to bolt? Good times.
Can't be said any better than this. This is almost like winning a le, tbh. The amount of excitement around the team and the want to truly win another is there and you can see it with the paycuts. Now if we this next year...oh my...Absolutely love Verde. Dude is 100% Spur now. He's come such a long way from being Lebron's dancing buddy on the bench.

It's not surprising at all that he stayed IMO..look at how sad he was after the Clippers series', he probably took it harder than anybody, especially knowing that was probably his worst playoff series in a few years, too, doubt he wanted to end his Spurs' run like that..
I don't think Green has any delusion of wanting to be a star, as well(like many that took more money for a bigger role on a worse team), seems like he's happy with his role on a perennial contender..I expect he will finally break the 30 MPG barrier, this year, too, with Manu's age and Belinelli's departure..
There's a strong racial component in the NBA that makes most fans believe that every is looking for a payday, and some of that is true, considering most Black athletes grew up in a poor environment(although that's not nearly as true with today's generation of players), but like we saw with David West's decision, some guys are happy with compe ion at the highest level, and a few million doesn't make a difference to them in the long run..Well said.Absolutely love Verde. Dude is 100% Spur now. He's come such a long way from being Lebron's dancing buddy on the bench.

Marco's no longer on the squad to steal his minutes so Danny should get more playing time. At least 30 mpg
way to go
o Admins and Mods,
where are my other posts??
hmmmp
money is not everything.....
there are other more important things other than money
Texas has one of the highest property tax rates in the country. We also have to pay state sales tax. So that state income tax everyone dreads is not that significant.
And California has some of the highest inflated property values in the country. So in Texas he will get a lot more house and still pay less than what he would in Cali. Both in the price of the house and the property taxes.
Not in Detroit though.
State income tax is a totally overblown talking point for NBA salaries.
Average home in California pays less tax than Texas despite higher property values. Values are higher in California because it's more desireable to live in when comparing high tech jobs, beautiful land and beaches, great weather, etc.
Let's just hope Pop doesn't sit him in crunch time again for some scrub, eh?
Danny is one of the most clutchest players on this team, play that damn man in crunch time dammit.
Just a great teammate. Publicly and in the media, he is completely overshadowed by Kawhi when in actuality, he does a lot of things as good and/or better than Kawhi -- yet he doesn't feel the need to leave to increase his exposure/salary.
When Danny Green said " we would have beaten the warriors in a series" in an interview during the Cavs- Warriors Finals i had a gut feeling there is a big chance he will return as a Spur.
