Tim Duncan Finalizing 2 Year Deal Starting at $5 Million

I'd rather the Spurs hold onto the space than the room exception as long as they can. Cap space is more valuable.

But I wonder why Tim took the discount? Cap space is cool, but it's limited. Do they plan on making another trade (only thing cap space can do that exceptions can't [besides claiming guys off waivers])?

Wow...

Agreed.

And I trust PATFO to maximize our chances. Meanwhile, poor Dirk gave away all that cash and the Mavs squandered it...

Spurs will have about 3mil in Cap if they do use the room exception on Manu, sign Duncan to a 5mil year deal and Sign LMA. That is enough to lure another solid contributor for the Spurs bench. Like I said, I hope its Shved. Give Pop a player to talk Russian to.

Holy shit...
:worthy:

These players better win and repeat for Duncan. He sacrificed a ton of money for them all. They better pay off that debt with their play on the hardwood. GO SPURS GO!!!

:flag::wowShit...

What is the maximum according to league rules he could be paid year 2?

More than likely he will opt and sign for a little more if he does decide to play another year as the cap is suppose to go to 90mil next year. This year's deal ensures the Spurs have some extra cap space to get another Solid contributor. So Green or Kawhi won't be resigned until the Spurs decide what to do with it.

You fatsos don't deserve Timmy tbh.

Who cares. When he retires he can be the team's ambassador or whatever for $10 mil per.

This fan base barely deserves him.

What a fucking rock star.

I bow to you Mr. Duncan.

has that ever happened though? i remember we used to discuss this

Tim will be given part ownership when he's done, that's all but guaranteed.

Lets get Durrant next year. :bobo

I'd be hard pressed to name a player who has done more for a single organization than Tim Duncan has for the Spurs.

It's hard to believe players have not lined up over the years to play with tim. He has been the definition of a model team mate. When others mess up he fields the blame (unlike KOME) when they are due for contracts he takes less to keep them(unlike KOME) and he never throws his teammates under the bus. I hope Tim wins 2 more for all his sacrifices, his Jersey will always hang in my mancave as I don't think another spur will replace him.

Amazing. Timmy is the absolute best :toast
