The Case for trading Danny Green.

[NASpurs]

Has the Splitter thread been bumped yet?

MKG? More like SMH amiright?

I'm willing to bet there's an archived thread somewhere on SpursReport started by Manny claiming the Spurs new draft pick, Duncan, will be a bust. He wanted Keith Van Horn.

The idea that Danny Green is essential to the Spurs success is quite odd to me.

Whoops

I knew people across the NBA would be overrating Danny Green so I'm not sure why I didn't expect many people here to do the same. Anyone willing to bet that Danny Green's production drops off this year? I'm fairly certain he'll shoot a lower percentage and score less per game. Anyone want to take it a bet on those fronts?

to be fair i would have lost the bet proposed on this page, but manny never manned up

Manny, down and out. Getting kicked, completely defenseless. No work tomorrow, hurts too bad, tell mom I'm sorry. Boss man, not. gonna. happen. Bad take, mistake. Danny by 30.

Meh this take is horrible only because Green makes $4 mill. You wont get better value out of any player not on a rookie contract. Everything else (Green's value being at an all-time high, Green mostly depending on players to set him up, etc) wasnt that unreasonable. Manny's take on Splitter is alot worse tbh.

[T Park]

Yeah it's pretty damn unreasonable....

Reminded me of this

The players people thought would be equal value for Green is what gets me. As I said in another thread, there have been some truly awful suggestions by folks over the past couple years.

You guys can laugh it up, but you should read what I posted. Danny did have production drops just like I predicted. He's had a good series and I hope he plays well, but I'm sure no one will bump this thread if he doesn't keep this hot shooting up. Its pretty hard to argue that his value will ever be as high as it was after the last finals but if he keeps up this shooting then it might be the same.

Danny was definitely our most tradeable asset last offseason outside of maybe Kawhi and Kawhi should be untradeable. The points about his contract being small are valid, but that is why I suggested packaging him and not simply trading him alone. This thread was also created when reports had come out that the Spurs had resigned Neal which turned out to be false.

[MannyIsGod]

Why are you laughing? His production dropped off.

we ended up signing Marco anyway, so the neal excuse doesn't really fly. you just don't trade an elite 3 and D guy because he has trade value. there is a good reason he has trade value. even if his finals performance wasn't as prolific from 3, he was still incredible defensively. Wade wasn't really a factor outside of games 4 and 7, and I lost count of how many times Green single handedly broke up what are normally automatic transition buckets for LeBron and co.

That takes awfulness to new heights!

I agree with both of you 100%.
You've both pretty much said what most of us objective fans believe IMHO.

Green is tradeable just like most Spurs. The thing is, immediately after trading Green the Spurs would be looking for someone who does what Green does.

Plus Green hung his hat on defense before becoming the 3 pt threat he is now. The Spurs and Pop value that very highly.

Seeing as his defense is hard to replace I'd disagree with this.
