Lost in all the hullabaloo of tonight’s Spurs vs. Raptors match-up and the return of Kawhi Leonard is the return of another for Spur who is much more widely considered a fan favorite: Danny Green.
In a farewell to the perfect Spur written back when the trade happened, I expressed the wide range of emotions I felt when waking up to see a trade had finally been made — from happiness that that The Summer of Kawhi was finally over, to sadness that Green was included in the trade, to confusion as to why I was sadder to see a glorified role player go than an MVP.
