That's pretty damn good news for the Spurs. It sounds like Duncan is going to be flexible with his salary. If the Spurs can settle with the Diaw, Green, Lorbek, De Colo, Mills, etc. first before Duncan, they may be able to just give Duncan whatever is left over.Quote:

If tyrus Thomas and Calderon are released I'd bet that would be FAs A and B FO the Spurs.
great news!
for flexibility, if he only wants two years, they can give him 3 with the third partially guaranteed if they need to keep his annual salary down for cap/financial reasons.
what a team player
That is great news. I hope Tim plays another 3 years in the silver and black.
God Bless Tim Duncan
If Duncan takes less so they can bring in guys like De Colo Calderon and such, his jersey should just go up now. Screw waiting till he's retired.
Sounds like some bad juju to meQuote:

Same limitations apply, whether TD signs now or later tbh. It just shows TD is willing to be a team play, but TD has always been that since day 1.
I read this recently:Quote:

Lin, who was previously solely repped by Roger Montgomery, also has a new publicist, Meredith Geisler, who works with Tanner's clients, some of whom are future Hall of Famers. Tanner currently represents Tim Duncan, Ray Allen, Grant Hill, Shane Battier, Hedo Turkolgu, Marvin Williams, Brandan Wright, Zaza Pachulia, Tony Battie, Luke Ridnour, Royal Ivey and draft prospect John Henson.

tbh though, I bet after getting back to the WCF he would like to have another shot with that roster...
Same firm Babby was with.Quote:

What do you mean "give him what's left over?"Quote:

Or do you mean use their cap room to sign free agents, and then use Duncan's Bird Rights to re-sign him?
If it's the latter, is that even allowed under the current CBA?
The Spurs don't have any cap room.Quote:

That number figures to be about 74M. The Spurs have about 48M in current contracts. So "what's left over" is however much of that 26M that isn't used on the MLE, BAE, vet min contracts, and keeping Green and Mills.
Oh, I see. Thanks for explaining. :toastQuote:
