If he retires, he doesn't get his money. So him optin in does nothing except tie up cap space if he retires. If he stays, then it guarantees him the money, but SA likely could have paid him more if he opted out.

:lol Not sure what I can do for you if you think the Spurs have a realistic shot of bringing in KD THIS summer...Quote:

San Antonio Spurs cap situation http://yhoo.it/291CQlF
Exactly. Seems like it would've made more sense for him to opt out either way. It wouldn't count against the team's cap for the time being. If he decided he wanted to come back, Spurs could've offered him a 1-year deal for a similar amount, possibly more if/when they strike out on big name FAs.Quote:

Seems like the Danny is the odd man out if they really want Durant... unless they can get rid of Parker. (Yeah KD and trading Parker are long shots)
Can't the team still pay him this year's salary if he retires? Why wouldn't the Spurs pay him if it was part of the deal last season when Timmy took a below market value contract....Quote:

Not at all. He's not doing the Spurs any favors and we don't know if he's coming back. He may be worth more on the open market if he returns, but I don't know. If he retires, then he definitely hurt the Spurs (but again, it's all good).Quote:

I'm not sure actually. I would imagine SA might be able to pay him, but if he retires I don't think teams usually pay players for nothing.Quote:

Hmmm interesting pointQuote:

Lil dpg needs to explain this betta
If TD decides to play another season, this really does show the Durant courting in the coming days is for the 2017 season. As always with SA FO - chess not checkers.
Interesting thought.Quote:

Trophies.
Tim can suck up all the cap space for the entire year and he would deserve it ten times over.
Do what you want, big guy. I'm bringing my hot rod to your shop no matter what.
What you talking bout Willis?Quote:

Casual Fans. Who gives a shit about casual fans. Anytime I talk to a casual fan about sports I may as well water board myself. Much like a large quantity of posters here. I just don't bother commenting to their takes they are emotionally anger responses of no lifers that live too much through other peopleQuote:
