It must have been an extremely painful decision for Gregg Popovich and the Spurs organization. Letting go of a beloved hero, who most fans thought would wear silver and black until he retired. To cut one of last remaining links to San Antonio’s championship past and pivot in a new direction. Making it worse, the Spurs had to know the player would be blindsided by the location and perhaps even angry he got traded.
Can you even believe how they treated Danny Green?
On a new, admittedly outlandish episode of Fastbreak Breakfast we dig deep into the fallout of the Danny Green/Jakob Poetl trade, and also try to see how it might affect Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan.
Also covered:
- Is it fair to say Popovich threw Leonard out of the country?
- Which player had the best hair at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas?
- How did the Kings get Nemanja Bjelica to turn his back on the Sixers?
- Is getting excited about trading a 2nd round pick for Garrett Temple a sign of being in an abusive relationship with your favorite team?
DISCLAIMER: First 45 minutes or so of this episode are “off the rails” as Zach Lowe is wont to say. The second half is more “lasered in” on the NBA, but still with the customary Eugene Debs and Justice League references. You’ve been warned!
