Danny Green is not a core guy. He's a role player. Straight up answer: Do you think Danny Green is untradeable?
the spurs aren't looking to give a roster facelift. they are bringing back the core guys. yes, danny green is one of the core guys. i'm sure they wanted to bring in talent like monta ellis or AK47, but not to subs ute our core guys

Bonner
The Spurs aren't about to reneg on deals to sign Pendergraph and Bellinelli. Most here now probably have no idea who this is but they're not going to be like him.
I'm telling you they like the formula that they had last season, except they didn't want Blair and didn't know if Neal was going to be available to re-sign.
And don't tell me you just found out this FO loves Bonner, whatever it is he brings to this team.
The Spurs definitely had more leeway early in the offseason to go for a good backup SF to Kawhi and address a few of its small ball weaknesses. By getting rid of TMac, Blair, and Neal, they could have carved out enough cap space (and if they were lent more than a big helping hand by Manu) to sign Kirilenko or they could have just waited to sign him for the MLE following Manu's and Tiago's contracts. I think they missed a trick by signing Belinellli & Pendergraph who are not really upgrades over Neal & Blair.
I think between the two risks - expecting the MLE to be less for AK47 and going without replacements for Blair & Neal vs expecting to S&T for AK47 after finding replacements for Blair & Neal, the Spurs chose the latter. But they only put the ball in Minnesota's court rather than the market's court in the first risk. I think it was a misread by the Spurs FO. They should have taken a risk with trying the MLE option for AK47 before signing Belinelli/ Pendergraph who could surely have been available later as well (perhaps not Belinelli but surely Pendergraph).
If AK was going to take the MLE wouldn't the Spurs and the Wolves worked out a deal worth closer to the MLE instead of 8-9mil?
in any cir stance? no, green isn't untradeable. in a deal where the centerpiece is a 32 year old SF/PF, yes, he's untradeable.
I know they love Bonner but that doesn't make keeping him a good move.
What are his options to get more than the MLE?
I think he was a target, just not the priority.
LOL thanks. I would trade DG straight up for AK and not even blink. I promise you the Spurs would too. 32 years old or not, Kirilenko is a better player.
Well, we're trying to figure out what the FO is thinking, not what you or I like (and I agree with you about Bonner)
There needs to be a pe ion to not resign him next season
1yr deal with the Cavs, go overseas, perhaps something else.
you seem like you would trade Green for a lot of things, tbh
actually, if the Cavs manage to land Bynum and Kirilenko, thats pretty nasty, provided both injury prone guys stay healthy
IMO, the fact that the Spurs guaranteed Bonner's salary early on is the indication they were not going to use the cap. That turned Bonner's contract into a juicy expiring deal, which they could use now or even later in the season.
Kirilenko doesn't get the multiyear deal he wants. If he wants to leave the NBA, sure.
This may not be over. Just the S&T is.
Not a lot of things at all. I just recognize that right now is a good time to sell high on Danny Green for the right players. An AK type player is exactly the deal I would make. I'm willing to be thats exactly the deal our front office would make too since Woj pretty much just reported that.
We can't offer all that much
Maybe this guy who knows the Spurs and Pop already?

LOL why man? WHY?
We don't have the MLE to offer.
