Eh, they'd be a pretender either way with Splitter hurt most of the time these days. Just gotta hope Green regresses (positively) to the mean.
Worth it?

Maybe Green should adjust? Everyone else has seen boosts to their offense beside him. The excuses for his scrub play have ran out.
Spurs are 18-5. Tiago is just a ing DNP- pussy. When Manu and Tim retire we can't role out tiago.
Danny needs to take more contested shots, IMO. The alternative is a TO for him...
Ehh I think it's bull to just put all the blame on LMA when it comes to Danny Green playing like . LMA isn't forcing Green to pass up decent looks and instead dribble and do whatever the he tries doing. Kawhi is having a career year and Parker actually looks like an NBA player again. Other guys are adjusting fine - Green is the only one who looks like he completely forgot how to play basketball.
Regardless, we're one week into December. A bit unfair to ask this question this early on in the season.
We'll be ok.
BEST DEFENSE in 10 years for the Spurs. Not at home and Kawhi still battling stomach sickness and we lose by 3. I'll take it.
Two of the Spurs top three scorers being playoff choke artists(Parker and LMA) has me very worried about the current team's chances in the postseason.
I'm not prepared to blame LMA for Green's suckage. LMA being so damn soft and down right incompetent in some important parts the game are issues for me. This year we are better off with him.
He was worth it, and there's just going to be nights like tonight where the team just doesn't step up to the plate in the regular season grind...
Lol blaming Aldridge for Green's poor playObviously he is in a vacuum, but Aldridge's addition has transformed Green into one of the worst starters in the league, after being one of the 2 best perimeter role players in the league since 2013..worthless Danny Green = Spurs are just a pretender, as we have seen since 2012..
It would seem worth it if Aldridge was playing like a star, but he's been extremely underwhelming, so far..
Thats the problem mid, hes trying to adjsut by putting the ball in the ground. He can actually still be a great player if he accepts the fact that hes just that a 3 and D player. Way too many times this year hes passed up a semi open shot for the dribble. When Leonard and Parker are on the floor there should be no reason for him to be running horns.
As for the subject in hand, i dont think Aldridge is worth it.
Sounds like something the Kawhi- s do when Kawhi has a bad game.
"oh noooo Tony wouldn't pass him the ball"
Just to get rid of splitters contract yes
I may be grasping at straws here, but maybe Danny has just become complacent and lacks the drive he had before when he was trying to stay in the NBA, or was in a contract year. Dude has accomplished as much as he can hope to accomplish being the niche skill guy he is.
Danny is still getting a ton of good looks, he's just missing them.. Can't blame that on LMA. He's in a shooting funk right now. I'm sure he'll break out of it eventually. It just sucks playing the waiting game.
In terms of Aldridge, he was definitely worth it and we're far better off with him than with Tiago imo. Splitter still can't get on the floor for the Hawks bc he's still injured. I'm sure it'd be no different here.
er wastes his load on the hapless sixers of course
That's on Pop. Pop has never been shy in pulling Green when he screws up. Pop is obviously too senile to realize Green dribble drives are cancerous.
The correct move whe he doesnt have a shot is to either dribble shoot or move the ball. Hes not willing to do any of this.
The only difference between this year's Spurs team and last year's is Aldridge, unless you think Splitter and Joseph are the reason Green went from a 40%+ 3 shooter to a player that can't make anything anymore
The current Spurs team is clearly fool's gold..easy schedule + other expected contenders starting slow + they have been carried by Kawhi playing like the 2nd best player in the NBA, and Parker playing at the same level he did last November, which isn't going to last, clearly..
Green being unable to make 3s makes him unplayable, he becomes Andre Roberson, which is useless in today's NBA..that leaves Mills as the only shooter on the roster, and it forces the Spurs to over-use Manu, along with expecting inexperienced players like Anderson and Simmons to give playoff minutes(which doesn't work in the NBA, they'll both foul out in 5 minutes with the way refs treat unknown guys)..
They essentially killed their style of play/rotation to become a mid-range 2 shooting team that no longer has any depth on the perimeter, and is relying heavily on 2 ancient players to dominate(Parker/Ginobili)..
green had open looks all game long and couldnt hit anything tbh
if anything green's decline can be associated with parker's decline, not the addition of aldridge
The Spurs gonna live and die by LMA midrange and DG 3, IMO. They make em and they'll win. Otherwise they lose.
Yes, a player in his athletic prime forgot how to play basketball, all of a sudden
