Danny Green: $10 million (three years left)

If Kevin Durant is persuaded by the Spurs pitch over the weekend, creating the cap space to make it work could become tricky for Pop.

With Leonard and Aldridge on max deals, along with Tony Parker making double digits, the Spurs would have to shed some contacts similar to Tiago Splitter last season.

Boris Diaw would be one, but Danny Green is the most intriguing as Durant would likely take his spot in the lineup. At a cap friendly contract, Green would be coveted by many if San Antonio is trying to shed him for nothing.

Green could step into the starting three spot next to Matthews and form one of the best wing defensive units in the NBA.
