Danny Green can thank the San Antonio Spurs for the payday awaiting him in free agency.
No matter where his money will come from, it's going to feature a splash of the Spurs' trademark silver and black.
San Antonio's time-tested assembly line helped Green gain his NBA footing. The Spurs grabbed the former second-round pick in 2010, after the Cleveland Cavaliers waived him following a forgettable rookie year. He'd be cut again in San Antonio, grind his way through the NBA Development League and spend some time overseas before fully forcing his way into the Spurs' plans.
