The Asian Australian was the original Parker hater
Wouldn't trade Green for Batum. The Spurs are going to need as much cap as they can get in 2017, and Danny's flat contract is a great way to do that. The Spurs couldn't afford to keep much of their roster together and have more than $10 Million or so in cap space. If the projections are right, the Spurs will be one of the few teams limited to the MLE next summer.
absolutely
he is consistent from day one
Bonner for Noah?

He's right tho. You're usually pretty calm. In your defense it's hard to put up with fools like timvpdpoy.tbh, I don't remember many posters getting under Brazil skin over the years, but TDMVPDPOY manages...
Danny has gotten off to a bad start shooting. For their careers:
Danny shoots almost 60% (.595) of his shots from the 3P line, and he shoots .416 from the 3P line.
Batum shoots about 48% (.477) of his shots from the 3P line, and shoots .365 from the 3P line.
That's a HUGE difference. Danny's 3P% puts him in an elite group that can legitimately stretch defenses, because they can't afford to leave him alone out there.
Put another way, Danny's career True Shooting % is exactly equal to Kawhi's. And if you aren't familiar, TS% accounts for 2 and 3 point shots, but also free throws. And Danny doesn't get many FT's while sitting out on the 3P line. Last season, Danny was 33 in the league in TS% - Batum was 242.
The Spurs already lost Belinelli. So, yeah, what they really need to do is get rid of ALL their outside scoring threats, and just have guys who score inside. Who cares if the opposing defenses pack the paint?
Great trade idea.
This is a fruitless discussion, like Chinook said we can't afford Batum and Danny won't be traded. He's family at this point. Batum will be paid more bc he's a more versatile player and is currently having games where he looks like Charlotte's best 1st or 2nd player, something you can't ever say about Danny. He gets the other teams best perimeter defender on him nightly and has a very significant offensive burden, which Danny doesn't have at all, not does he get the best defender on him. Very different players, both valuable, but Nic will get paid and fir the role he would play for us, maybe too much.
I agree with Nono
Apo and 2ndgoatfart cousins? Maybe.....
