Since the Spurs effectively don't have any cap room, you do any off-season moves you can, then offer Parker as much money as we have under the luxury tax as a thank you for taking less money to stay a Spur throughout his career. Good for the organization. We did the same thing with Manu, Duncan, and Avery.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Bruce Bowen is unhappy:

Speaking on Sirius XM NBA Radio on Thursday night, Bowen said: "First, it was, 'Well I was misdiagnosed.' Look here: You got $18 million this year, and you think that they're trying to rush you? You didn't play for the most part a full season this year. And you're the go-to guy, you're the franchise and you want to say that they didn't have your best interest at heart? Are you kidding me?"

"As a player, if I'm a leader of a team, my team goes on the road in the playoffs, I'm with my guys," he said. "Because that's what it's all about. It's about camaraderie. It's about fellowship. It's a brotherhood. When that didn't happen, it's all kinds of sirens and alarm signals that says to me, 'Is this person fully vested?' ... I don't want to take on a player who's not willing to support his guys during the course of their time needing him."

Danny Green has yet to decide whether or not he will opt in.
Reports were out the other day stating he plans to opt in.
I know. It appears that's not the case now.
Unless Green is convinced that the Spurs are going to blow it up and completely rebuild and he doesn't want to be part of that, I can't imagine him getting a contract that will be better than the $10 million he'll get by opting in.
It wouldn't shock me to see Green opt out in order to help the team free up space. Then after other moves are done he can sign or 2 or 3 year deal. Duncan did this a couple of times. Say what you want about Green, nobody cares more about this organization than him.

Yes Danny has always been a company man, but he hasn't spent his career making big time money on huge contracts the way Duncan did either.
A guy that would be worth a pretty serious look in free agency would be Joe Harris. Shot over 40% from 3 and plays decent defense. This team needs shooters and wings that are capable of switching. Problem will be how much we have to spend and how much he'll cost, but he'd be nice to have at the backup SF spot.

Danny has made over $50 million in his career. Not bad for a guy who couldn't make the Cavs back when they were terrible. Besided, I'm not saying he will take less money. I'm saying he could opt out and then resign a 2 or 3 year deal. The Spurs probably think he's worth 3 for 20 million.
It wouldn't surprise me if he originally said he was going to opt in simply because he wants to come back and believes it will be the best decision, but now that they are in the guts of free agency he's working through the process with the team and his agent.
Green appreciates San Antonio for the original chance, the life he has, and how much he enjoys the franchise. A lot of guys are team members on the court, but everything I've seen from Danny indicates that he believes that being a team is about a lot more than showing up for work.
Undoubtedly whatever he does, he will do having discussed it with the front office first and the front office will follow through on what they tell him. I don't know that he would take a huge hometown discount, but if the money is anywhere close he stays. Certainly if someone comes in and offers him double what the Spurs can they'll tell him to take it, but Green is worth more to the Spurs than he is to most teams so I doubt that will happen.
He's 31 now. Say he re-signs for three years. I think he has a much better chance of getting another solid three year deal when he's 34 if he signs with the Spurs compared to anyone else, so I'm sure that weighs into his decision-making process even on a pure dollars-and-cents calculation.

Pop probably told him to opt out so they can give Lebron a max deal and then use bird rights to sign him above the cap. Its all coming together now.
Next we'll hear Patty and Pau are headed out of town.
Dejounte / Tony
Danny Green / Manu / White / L Walker
Kawhi / Slo-mo
Lebron / Rudy Gay / Bertans
Lamarcus / Stiff for minimum
Take it to the bank.

Nice breakdown of who is out there and status (UFA, RFA, PO, TO).

Green's taking the 10mm.
I hate to put too much pressure on the kid. But he seems to be my only hope for filling this huge hole in my heart that Kawhi is leaving.
No need to worry about Kawhi, the Spurs have help on the way.
Parker Duncan (yes, I convinced my wife to name our son after Timmy and Tony) was born at 1:35 am today. He weighed 6 lbs 4.9 oz and was 19 3/4 inches long. Maybe a long term prospect, but definitely worth it.
