Rumors

Kendrick Perkins: I didn't get this from no inside source with the Celtics, but I just feel like at this point Jaylen Brown is somewhat talking himself right up out of that organization with his live stream. And people may say ‘man, Perk, you overreacting or you tripping’. No, I'm not. Because Allie you've been in locker rooms, you played at a high level in college, you covered at a high level. That's why you got all them Emmys. Danny Green, three-time champion. And y'all know like I know that podcasting, that was not going to be tolerated in our locker room because it breaks a trust. Like the most important thing that you need when you're trying to go win a championship is you need trust.

Danny Green: I am a big Austin Reaves guy. I think he's very special and in today's market, he's definitely worthy of a max, right? So I know it's tough when you're trying to build a championship team. I think a lot of guys can learn from Jalen Brunson. And I don't expect anybody to take a haircut, but like and maybe in another place he could. I know this taxes in California a little steep, so it's hard to take a cut in California, but I mean I would love for him to stay with the Lakers and be with Luka Doncic. It’d be fun to keep watching them grow together.

Danny Green on LeBron James: I think he for sure comes back next year. And I mean, I hope it's in LA. I think it might be in LA because I don't know what Cleveland has in stores, either LA or Cleveland. But I think it'll be his last year in LA. And I think he'll go out the way he wants to go out and they'll treat him that way. So hopefully we can see that.

Danny Green on 2019-20 Lakers' season: "There was definitely added pressure following Kobe's death. And then, of course, when they brought in the Mamba jerseys and wearing that Mamba jersey, it was sleek, it was nice. It was one of my favorite jerseys of all time. Fire jersey, but it came with a little bit of extra pressure on top."

Danny Green on LeBron: "You would think he was a guy that went to college because he operated in his organization like he was a true leader. And I can say that because I've been through multiple organizations and I've seen some really good ones and I've seen some bad ones. And he is a true definition of an all aspects of the sense of a leader."

Danny Green on Uncle Dennis' influence on Kawhi Leonard leaving San Antonio: I think his Uncle had a lot of what to do, what’s going on off the court, a lot of influence. I think once his Uncle saw some distasteful things in his mind. It was like, “Alright we not doing this.” Because San Antonio they don’t treat nobody like superstars and I think his Uncle kind of rightfully so, you know what I’m saying? should have been treated like a superstar.

Anunoby, despite being robbed of an opportunity that some players 15 years his senior never got to experience, remembers that time fondly. He looks back and reflects on all that he learned from his teammates about how to be a pro, how to prepare at the sport’s highest level. The players on that team were so influential on who Anunoby is today that he wanted to list the entire roster, as many as he could recall while put on the spot, to show appreciation for what that experience meant to him as he sat on the sideline and they went to fight on his behalf. “Jeremy Lin was a great teammate,” Anunoby said. “I had Jodie Meeks, Norm Powell, Fred VanVleet, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Kyle Lowry, Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam and Danny Green. I learned a lot from those guys. I learned so much being out.”

Danny, you won a championship under Pop. You heard De'Aaron Fox. What are those Pop speeches like? How big of a presence does he still have on this franchise and this team?" Danny Green: "A huge presence. It doesn't go away. He's just one of those guys that you're fearful of, regardless of age or health. I'm still scared of him to this day. So when he walks in a room, it's business and it's serious. So he came in, I'm sure he left an imprint on them. He let them know who's messing up, who needs to come to play. That was a big deal for them and for everybody else. Everybody respects him, from the top on down. Timmy, David, Tony. So when they see those guys come in and how much aura that he has, that presence, it leaves an impression."

Dan Weiss: Devin Vassell's 51 minutes last night were the most by any Spurs player since Danny Green played 52 in a triple OT game on Dec. 17, 2014. It also was only the second time in franchise history that 5 players played 44+ minutes in the same game with the other being Dec. 6, 1994.

NBA Courtside: Danny Green says Detroit Pistons need to bench Jalen Duren: “I’m praying for him, I hope nothing going on whatever’s happening with Jalen Duren. Regardless of the fact we can’t play him, we got to win a playoff game if you have something going on you better communicate that we got to sit you regardless your not performing. Only thing else came to mind how do you get him to pick it up, the best translator something that computes to your brain is the bench. Bobby Knight a** on bench, bench tells brain get in fu*king gear and play some fu*king basketball.” (Via @NFGShow )

Players also like the idea of controlling their own narratives. “We are the influencers,” said Paul Pierce, a 48-year-old Hall of Famer. He has three podcasts: “No Fouls Given,” which he records with another former player, Danny Green, for the Playmaker network; “The Truth after Dark”; and “Ticket & the Truth,” which he does with his former teammate Kevin Garnett. Draymond Green, whose podcast is distributed by Audacy, said: “You can talk through different things from an athlete’s perspective and actually have the time to give context that we don’t have in interviews. In a world that’s full of clickbait, a 24-hour news cycle, context is lost often.”

Danny Green says it’s disrespectful what the Memphis Grizzlies did to Ja Morant telling him a hour before not to show up to fan appreciation night: “I think it’s disrespectful to him obviously, but I also think it’s disrespectful to the fans. Like, a fan could have gotten a Ja Morant jersey an interaction. He may not be a fan favorite to you guys, but to the city, to the culture, to the people. His jersey sells. People but it. People want it. People want his signature. Regardless if he’s been successful there as of late or not, he was successful before and he might be successful after. So like somebody would want that jersey. Like that jersey holds value to a lot of fans. And for him individually like an hour before like what do you expect him to do at that point? Go home like you could have notified him hours beforehand. At that point I don’t need to come to the arena if I’m not giving a fan appreciation yall obviously don’t want me here. Do I go home after this? Like all right cool I’ll just go home….. Trying to like take him out of team pictures like you’re trying to banish this man ever existed from this year. Like it’s kind of wild.”
