He just doesn’t give enough outside of when he is hot. His defense isn’t that great, his ball handling is terrible, his decision making is embarrassing. He’s a very expensive pure 3pt shooter.

| I would trade him for Doug Mcdermmot. Give Bron his new Kyle Korver. Would Indy do that? maybe they want a vet for their young playoff team |

Danny Green is very upset with himself for the fouls he committed in the fourth. Mentioned it several times while talking. When asked a general question about the defense: “Danny Green has to not foul at the end of the game. It’s that simple,” he said.

This guy's brick fest is a big reason why we lost tonight. He is simply too streaky to be counted on day in and day out. I seriously wouldn't mind if he was gone come trade deadline.

Yeah, I think he was overrated coming off the Raptors championship. It looks like he's always fading on his shot and doesn't really have good range. Maybe he should stick to taking corner three's.

Not earning his $15 million a year, if you get paid like a big dawg, you need to play like a big dawg.

A little harsh but he’s paid well, need to be that consistent 3rd guy if Kuzma isn’t ready yet |

He's definitely not the 3rd most important player on this team. Very streaky, and unable to create for himself. His D has been decent, but he still has not produced as I would have hoped.
We desperately need Kuzma to step up and be our 3rd best player. |

| Danny Green KILLED us last night (TO's, fouls, and crazy shots in the 4th). I like him, but have to keep it real. |

How much does LeBron make again? Leave the role-players alone, it's not their fault "the King" can't even lead a team to the playoffs without a top5-player by his side bailing him out every other night. |

If you watched the Raptors, Van Fleet was eating a considerable amount of his minutes in the playoffs.
Green signed a legit contract with the Lakers. People shred min or near min guys like Rondo and Bradley, Green hasn't been as good as advertised.

What are you talking about? He led a pathetic Cavs team to the NBA finals with no one competent on the roster and you are saying he can't even lead a team to the playoffs?
Lebron was pretty bad last night but so what? He still put up 23/9/10 and people really going to act like he is the main reason they lost? Give me a break. They lost because Vogel was pathetic and Green played some of the worst basketball down the stretch I have ever seen. |

Yes I mean those 2 threes he missed on the same possession. I was like I taught his name was “dead shot”. And those misses were critical |

When is Vogel going to run action to free Danny Green up. It's hard for me to blame green when he regulated to spotting up in the corner. Green provides gravity to allow the space for AD and LeBron to work. Our 15m dollar player only (bleep) 8 times, not even in rythym. Green needs a minimum of 12 shots per game.

This is essentially the hard part about the Lakers offense for shooters like Green.
The offense runs through AD and Lebron. Role players like Green shot the ball when they are open and sometimes they aren’t going to be open much doing a game to say have 12 shots.
Other teams I think give shooters a green light to shot more freely |

DG is doing everything we signed him to, play some D and hit shots. He's always been inconsistent in numbers and makes his dumb passes. Already won us one game with a clutch shot. |
Exactly.
Green is a roll player.
He's hitting almost 40% on 3's and playing really solid D.
Exactly what he was signed to do.
If you thought he was signed to be a 20 ppg scorer or a "lockdown" defender you haven't been watching the same NBA I have.
He's solid, not spectacular, exactly as he's been his entire career.
KCP's been really solid this year too.
It's Bradley, Kuz,, Rondo and even Caruso that we need more from on a consistent basis. And right now, Cook and Daniels are wasted roster spots.

| Would it be incorrect to say that 07-08 Sasha and 08-09 Shannon were better than Danny Green? |

I'm obviously not talking about the Cavs 100 years ago in the weak east. He couldn't even take last years Lakers-team to the playoffs when he was supposedly still "the best player in the world". Now with AD on his side he wins a couple of games and is instantly in the MVP-conversation again, which is a joke in itself. And it wasn't just "last night". He has been performing pretty badly in big game situations since he came here. I don't care so much about his statline when his game-winner gets blocked by Mario Hezonja or he goes 0-4 from the free-throw line in the last two minutes to lose us the game. How can Vogel be responsible for anything when LeBron is the shadow-coach (and shadow-GM) in reality? Do you really think Vogel does anything that wasn't cleared by LeBron? Even if Danny Green goes ice-cold from 3, he still puts in a solid effort on defense, which can't be said about LeBron either, who was 1-8 from 3 against the Clippers by the way iirc.
Edit: it was 2-12 from three, my bad. |

Lebron was injured, he'll be fine come playoffs. But people need to realize this is a troll account Mustard, and this is the sort of response you get from it. |

I read your last posts. You said that Kuzma would be the next big thing in the league and that you are confident we will beat the Clippers in the playoffs easily. I guess anybody who isn't as morbidly optimistic as you is a troll in your eyes. I can live with that |
