Any offer up to $5.1M/yr as I understand it.
Spurs didn't offer Green a deal. Just picked up his QO, making him a restricted FA. Now the Spurs have the rights to match any offer Green receives and he is forced to stay in SA.
Any offer up to $5.1M/yr as I understand it.
Yup...it actually moves things along much more quickly. I think the Spurs will match into the 4 million/year range too. That's still cheap for a rotation SG.
Some spurfans are so stupid. One terrible series and someones a choker. Green tries to shoot himself out of the slump and hes a chucker. If he wouldve stopped shooting he wouldve been a pussy and the next Bonner.
Spurs need to bring him back as long its less than 4-5 mill/yr.
So are you saying that the Spurs should offer between 4-5? or less than 4 million? I don't like that at all, especially for 5 million. The Spurs offered Stephen Jackson less than that in 2003 and Sjax was huge in the WCF against Dallas that year. Game 6 on the road, Sjax was gigantic at the end of the 3rd and 4th quarter, same as he was in game 6 against OKC. Spurs didn't offer Sjax that much and you're going to offer Green more for completely disappearing?
He didn't just have a bad series, he completely disappeared. You could say that Manu had a bad series overall, but Green disappeared completely. He was almost Bonner like. You don't go giving out big contracts to guys that completely disappear. Maybe I'm being too hard on Danny, but I just don't like the way he finished.
For the record I was a huge Danny Green fan all season. I was all for him getting playing time at the start of the season and keeping it, but he was really bad in the WCF. I'm definitely willing to give him another chance (unlike Bonner), but I don't want to overpay for it.
I know it's a different market and things are different now, but these contracts being handed out are too excessive this off season. 4 million or less is what I'd offer Green, not a cent more.

A little Bonner.
Saying Green disappeared is ridiculous. He still played ok defense. In fact if he played more he could have helped TP conserve energy on defense.
Green was a plus defender.
The only problem was that his amazing shooting in the last part of the season and the first two rounds came back to earth.
Then Pop didn't help by panicking and putting Manu in the starting lineup.
Regardless of his ok defense, Green's got no balls. He pulled a Matt Bonner. If he stays, pay him in peanuts if you can....'nuff said.

Green didn't pull a Bonner. Green was ultra-productive in the two previous playoff series. Despite him flaming out against the Thunder, Green already has a better playoff track record in 14 playoff games than Bonner has in his entire Spurs tenure. Bonner is a career-playoff choker.
Now if we're here in the next two seasons still talking about Green playoff struggles, then perhaps a comparison to Bonner can be made. Right now, trying to lump Green into Bonner's category is really a bad comparison. It's apples and oranges.
Comparing Green to Bonner actually IS unfair. He hasn't led the NBA in 3pt% or contributed on a championship winning team while Bonner has actually done that...
I suppose Roger Mason is a better comparison?

Bonner was the fifth big on the depth chart in 2007, tbh...
Regardless, Bonner has accomplished much more in his NBA career. Period.
Did Danny Green watch Kobe torch his team to the tune of 81 points?
He was probably at home doing homework watching it happen on TV actually... -Wishing he was in the NBA getting torched for 81 by Kobe
Stupid comment. Spurs haven't also won a championship since Matt Bonner became a major part of the rotation.
and alsocalling Green a choker for having a bad series when majority of the team sucked as well.
Re ed ing logic.
Ok you're right, he's a clutch performer...sorryStupid comment. Spurs haven't also won a championship since Matt Bonner became a major part of the rotation.
and also
Re ed ing logic.
....give him 5mil/yr...

Either way, I don't give a . I'm not actually trying to defend Bonner, in fact I hate him too...but a choke job is a choke job, and Danny Green in choked. Period.
Bonner played in 56 games averaging 4.9 points per game in 11.7 minutes per game in the regular season in 07. That is a contribution regardless of how little. Those ppg's are comparable to Danny Green's production in the OKC series in a fraction of the court time and a way better fg% tbh

Bonner chokes every single year, while for Danny it was his first year. And he only played ty against OKC, but who didn't? C'mon Dawgg, chill and stop kissing Bonner's ass.
Hey dude I get it. It's nothing personal. I'm just disappointed in him and I feel he shouldn't get a big payday after such a poor showing in a series in which we needed him to at least show up in. It's just my opinion and I'm sharing it. ... I said earlier, I'm actually not really trying to endorse Bonner over Green because I actually think he sucks too, but As I said a choke job is a choke job, and Green definately choked no if's and's or but's about it. You are right everybody didn't play as well as they could have, but Green's houdini act was easily the worst of all.

So are you saying they should let Green walk and use one of the exceptions on a replacement?
stupid
