    Sure, there is that too which is an option. But the original question is why would you trade if he's a FA and I was just trying to paint that picture. Whether or not SAC wants him back, would want to trade or any other thing is still open.
    Understood.

    Those achievements are from like 3 years ago. Didn't you see what he did in the recently passed playoffs, the last 2 games aside? Sure he may not be a better player than Evans but he sure is a better fit to our team.

    You can't trade Green for a bad 3pt shooter, especially with the current version of Manu and Joseph is not a pure shooter either.

    Imo either you trade for a better/more versatile version like Batum or for a big but then you create another hole.

    For the next two years, Green is almost at the irreplaceable stage. It's so rare to find someone that can not only shoot the 3 like him, but defend as he does.

    This is the Richard Jefferson conundrum all over again. Sure, guys like RJ and Evans are clearly more talented guys, but their fit compared to Green's is not as good. Talent level of the team would go up, but likely it would end up being a net loss. He's not untradeable, but damn, he would be hard to replicate in this system at the moment. Not only that, but even brining in someone at SG seems odd considering moving Danny to the bench might really hurt his overall usefulness.

    More like Manu slides into the starting line up and Evans slides into Manu's role.

    Manu is more than capable of being Danny Green.

    you didn't watch much of the playoffs this year did you? manu was bad behind the arc and terrible on defense. the only thing that many could replace right not is green terrible dribble drive. which many had perfected by the finals with his large abundance of jump pass turnovers.

    I would give up two Danny Greens for Tyreke Evans. What you saw of Green in game 6, and game 7 is more his norm. You will never see him go off again like he did in the first part of the series. Just ask yourself where you on Green before the finals and maybe you can give a more honest answer without the rose colored glasses.

    He "went off" all year. He doesn't need to set NBA all time records to be useful. If he just plays to his averages, it's great. Not to mention, look at the championship level defensive plays he made even when he was not scoring.

    Yes. Since the TJ Ford signing, I've been more open minded to adding players who come from really ty situations/franchises. They simply don't have the guidance from veteran leadership, to coaching staff and trainers, to front office personnel, to the ownership group.

    Now.. unless Evans is a do ented head case or cancer, his potential is too good to pass on. That said, this is a pipe dream. Hes a restricted free agent and King will likely match any offer.

    And I'm not saying the Spurs shouldn't do a trade like this. I'm saying the net benefits may surprise some despite TE being a much more talented player.

    Kings already said they wouldn't match anything but the QO that said he's probably gonna get at least 10mil per season. Don't know if the Spurs should risk that amount on TE

    He's fourth among active players in career three-point percentage. There's nothing biased about saying that he's one of the best shooters in the league. Despite your assumption, Ginobili is not nearly the shooter Green is, and he's also isn't the defender he is at this stage in his career.

    i'm sure the last thing the kings want to do is to match an offer sheet for evans. considering his QO was about 7 mil, an offer sheet would exceed that. do you think Sacto really wants to match a multiyear offer worth about 8 mil per year for Evans when they just drafted McLemore and after Isaiah Thomas had a good year? Considering Cousins warrants a big contract, I'd imagine they try to retain as much flexibility as possible

    They drafted a SG, they publically said they won't match "increased" offers. Every indication is the Kings want to move on from him

    Hope you're right. I want him more than any other FA. I think he can be had for $8-9 million per, which is reasonable for him.

    this. if manu had been making 14 million per, i'm sure Evans is well worth 9-10 mil

    No. But I really do like OJ Mayo honestly! The guy can attack and shoot lights out also. He just opted out of his Dallas contract. Any chance Spurs show interest? As much as I love Danny Green, OJ Mayo is an overall much better offensive player, maybe he would come off the bench with Manu to be our backup 2/3?
