Paul Garcia: On an ESPN radio interview Thursday, Danny Green said he has an idea of what Rudy Gay is going to do with his player option. Dejounte Murray posted this photo on Instagram the same day. Gay has until June 29 to exercise or decline the PO.
You made headlines after saying Kawhi Leonard told you he wanted to be back with the Spurs. Can you elaborate? Danny Green: I just put out what I know, and that’s not much. I talk to (Leonard) as much as I can, but I don’t talk to him that much as a whole. He stresses the same thing to me as he stresses to (the media). There is no news. He says he wants to be a Spur and retire there. He said that to you. He’s expressed that. When I talked to him, he says he’s been with us, he’s always on board with us and (wanted) to be a part of what we did, and he’s trying to get right. But things may change.
You have a roughly $10 million player option for next season. Will you decide on that option once you return from Japan or is it already decided? Danny Green: I’m taking some time. I don’t know what the decision is going to be. It depends on the feedback I get from my agent and what I get back from the organization. I think they are taking some time as well to take a breath because so much has gone with the organization outside of the players with Pop (Gregg Popovich) and the draft stuff is going on. There is a lot to be processed and taken into account on both sides. Not just the player’s side but the organizational side.
Is a long-term deal something you’re hoping to seek with the Spurs? Danny Green: That’s always an option. Long-term is always the key to being in the NBA as long as you can. The market is not what it was. Last summer, the money wasn’t thrown out there as much as it was. That has to be taken into account for everybody. But I think longevity is the key for must guys especially for guys that are getting older. … But there is a lot of options that come into play and (a long-term deal) has crossed my mind.
