Danny Green

Danny Green’s Kawhi Leonard takes are music to Toronto Raptors fans’ ears. It would not be a stretch to say most expect the two-time Defensive Player of the Year to head elsewhere as a free agent next summer. At almost every turn since being acquired from the San Antonio Spurs, though, Green has, oft-inadvertently, preached [...]

A majority of people seem to believe the Toronto Raptors have an extremely slim chance of keeping Kawhi Leonard beyond this season. Count Danny Green among the exceptions. Talking on the latest episode of his Inside the Green Room podcast, Green intimated that his teammate of the past seven years will probably have a tough time leaving [...]

At least one member of the San Antonio Spurs isn’t buying into the Kawhi Leonard rumor-mill hype. And if you believe said player, no one on the team is actually placing stock in the most recent developments. During a recent appearance on Chris Broussard’s In The Zone podcast, resident speculation-squasher Danny Green tried downplaying the notion [...]

Danny Green has Kawhi Leonard’s back. ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Michael C. Wright and Ramona Shelburne reported on Thursday afternoon that the San Antonio Spurs recently held a players-only meeting aimed at trying to get their superstar forward to return from his right quad injury. The picture they painted was hardly a rosy one: Spurs guard Tony [...]

Why won’t the NBA’s injury bugs let the start of the 2016-17 regular season be great? Every year, it seems like a rash of injuries more sweeping than the season before hits just before opening night. This one is no different. Danny Green of the San Antonio Spurs is the latest to get hit with [...]

Hi, LaMarcus Aldridge. This is your new coach, Gregg Popovich, speaking. Welcome to the San Antonio Spurs. Now, sit down and shut up. Sounds about right, doesn’t it? The Spurs’ newest championship cog missed a training-cap workout on Tuesday with what San Antonio called “leg tightness.” For the record, it was not his decision. He [...]

The San Antonio Spurs are still good, but they’re also hurting. Excuse me if I’m telling you something you already know; I just felt compelled to remind everyone. Because they’re good. Really good. Second-best-record-in-the-NBA good. A few jokesters (idiots?) probably predicted their demise. And by “probably,” I mean definitely. It happens every year. People mistake [...]

Anything Matt Bonner says is a fact. That in itself is a fact. The Red Mamba, heralded for his three-point shooting, but worshiped for his hair color, has become something of a phenomenon. Fans love him, just because. There’s the distance shooting and fiery beard, but mostly, he’s just a likable guy. He’s also not [...]

Dwight Howard has now expanded his free-agency search to include every single team in the NBA. I’m kidding. But at the rate the rumors are flying, that’s where this is headed. According to Steve Kyler of Hoopsworld, Howard’s potential landing spots now include the Brooklyn Nets and San Antonio Spurs in addition to the Los [...]

LeBron James flopped against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3. Not David-Stern-is-so-going-to-fine-him flopped, but put-up-a-dud-when-the-Miami-Heat-needed-him-most flopped. James closed out Game 3 with 15 points on 7-of-21 shooting (33 percent), including a 1-of-5 showing from downtown (20 percent). He also connected on just 2-of-14 of his shots from outside the paint. Sheesh. For a guy [...]
