2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[MVP]

danny green still shootiing the 3pt at a decent pct. overall, he had a good season
he just had a couple bad gms and missed a key shot
still rather have him out there in crunch time than guys like jr, dion, etc

His 3 point percentage dropped 10% from last season. He shot 35% from the floor in the playoffs and 34% from 3. He was constantly getting blown by and committing dumb fouls. He's literally getting by on reputation exclusively at this point. The production is not there. Streaky implies that there was a point where he actually got hot and sustained it for a while. I'd have to double check but I don't think that ever happened. To call him an all world defender at this point in his career is just laughable antidope .

On ball; no. Help & transition? Absolutely.

Soon

Cam and #6 for #2

Again Alex Caruso was better than him this year on defense in all those areas. For 2 mil a year.

I very much disagree with this, but if that's how you feel then cook.

You didn't watch enough Laker games. 2nd half of the season he could barely move out there. Numbers back it up as well.

Tillman son Pat liked this tweet lol so I hope that nets trade is a no go

 

[ahat]

If FVV leaves i hope he goes somewhere like PHX or DAL, not ******* NY or Detroit

Stick to the backshots

This place is evil

 

[flyerthandelta]

Danny Green was Basura during his stint for lakers!!
With that price tag wasn’t even remotely close...all he had to do was play def and knock a couple 3s he was non existent all season.

left when the thread was debating the value of Danny Green and came back to see a 10 minute clip of Alex Caruso's defense posted...

gonna need Shams/Woj to save the integrity of this thread at 12:00AM PST

 

[moe200069]

Y’all just be lying in here . A lot of us have always been on the Danny Green is pretty damn valuable and does little things wave. Catch up

Wavydamus knew this moment would present itself.

That DG comment about him being traded and how that would put the nail in the coffin for the Laker season

 

[lynchpin33]

Harden, Kyrie, Durant would be the most toxic trio in the history of sports.

with that being said, get that deal done!

There was a time that when Jordan acquired the team, free agents were thought to flock there.

Wonder what his thoughts about giving the Batum’s of the world 27 million and no major star even considers Charlotte?

37% isn’t decent when hitting 3’s is your specialty and your primary job on offense, and shot 46% the season before

Also as somebody said, it’s not as if DG had to go through lengths to get these 3’s. They were more assisted than not.

37% isn’t decent when that’s what you were signed for, is your primary job and you being Danny Green. Also as somebody said, it’s not as if DG had to go through lengths to get these 3’s. They were more assisted than not.

Klay F’n Thompson has shot 39% FG & 38% over an entire playoff run from 3 while winning a chip. He’s literally had games like this, in wins as a #2 option and still contributed to winning

It’s nice and easier to win when your 3 & D guy goes 5/7 from 3 and plays lockdown defense every night. But that does not always happen.A guy like Danny Green...impacts winning in so many damn ways. Seeing him being called “a bum” and “useless” is wild...considering everything he does. I’m just sharing this here for context.

Spacing, rotation, transition, screening, deflections do not always show up in the stat sheet. Shoot, being a run buster...might be Danny’s lowest key thing. A team could be up 6...with a chance to go up 9...and he’ll get a deflection to a steal...that leads to a runout. Close out on a 3, then run in transition and hit a spot up 3....and in a matter Of seconds...he’s scored only 3 points...but swung a game at a pivotal point.

He’s done this a number of times over his winning spots. He’s the guy you want On your court at the end of 2nd and 3rd quarters...were some games and possessions can really get decided. Difference between going into halftime down 3...or down 15. Or going into the 4th down 20...or down 10.

I'm not in the camp saying he's useless. I'm strictly talking about his shot. Yes he contributed but if you're not contributing in the way in which you were signed for, then it's an issue. With him playing with Bron, especially after coming off a good shooting year last season, we all thought this would've been a perfect match. He simply didn't deliver what was expected. That's not to say he was useless.

 

[a-friend]

You would have thought BradBeal got traded today.
It was just Danny Green.

He shot essentially the same in the playoffs for the Lakers last year...than he did in Toronto the year before.

Raps 2019- 34% FG 33% 3FG
Lakers 2020 - 34% FG 34% 3FG

The contract was wild...but it was necessary....for a win now, team. He can do and go wherever he wants now. The Lakers (or raptors) simply do not win, without Danny Green. And that’s just the fact of it. Every now and then...you have to pay up for a win now VET...with below average numbers, who contributes to winning for a contending team. Danny is that.

Man got threatened, called a bum, and is seen as a meme and throwaway player by the casual nba Fan base. He’s a lot more than that. That has to be acknowledged.

Daniel had to go

I actually like those but that’s probably because OKC is top 3 ugliest jersey.
