Who do you think will get their number retired after TP and Manu? LaMarcus Aldridge? Kawhi Leonard? Demar DeRosan? Dejounte Murray? Matt Bonner? It could be awhile...

LDN tbh.

Agree. He deserves itQuote:

Someone not currently on this team. Maybe of DeRozan plays out two full contracts here it's possible. But I'm guessing it'll be a long while.
Walker
Jersey retirements should only be for the elite of the elite imo. That’s why I don’t like guys like Avery and Johnny Moore up there. Should be reserved for the HoFers like the Duncan, Robinson, Gervin, Manu, & Parker tbh.
Would like to see that happen.Quote:

He was at his best wearing 4. I always felt that adding the 1 to his jersey threw him ever so slightly off balance, and ruined his shot.Quote:

One of the very few players with multiple retired jerseys
Spurs won't do it. If he's in Toronto only a year, they won't do it. If he goes to Lakers, he'll be in Lebron shadow so much and plus they only retire HoF numbers so they won't do it. Wow, I don't think any team will do it :rollinQuote:

LMA will get a ring or two with DDR and the young core, so LMA, DDR, Murray, Walker
Nobody, also I find funny how some posters feel that DG should get his jersey retired, what a scrub.
Definitely LMA after signing that big extension. He will be a franchise player for the next 2-4 years and be an important cog to the transition to the younger guys.
LDN ? wut ?
:lol
If he comes back hes got a good chanceQuote:

Probably Mills :lol
I would say Dejonte if this season he could improve to either 9 PPG, 3 APG, or shoot 45% from the field.
Why is he called LDN though lol. I know what it sands for but why him?. I wouldn't be surprised if they retired Danny's number. The 2013 postseason was killer. If they did it with Bowen (meh they un-retired it, but still), why not Danny?
I tend to agree with you. However, since guys like Avery and Moore and Bowen are already up there, my sense of fairness would be offended by raising the bar for a guy like Danny, who I believe is every bit as deserving as those guys. Basically, the Spurs set a few bad precedents.Quote:

Brandon Paul.
LA if he gets a ring for us and finishes his career as a Spurs.

Why is everyone acting like Manu's jersey in the rafters is almost a guarantee? We retiring Matty Bonner's too?
Matt Bonner. 2 championships longest tenured spur after the big 3, Dave, Gervin.
:pop:
If he goes to the Clips and averages 20-10 for 2 years he'll be in the rafters :lolQuote:

Spurs will never retire kahwitters jersey after the shitshow this year.
But now he is, the opposite could be said about nephew.Quote:

He lacks the appeal to ever be a real fan favorite, so he needs to pile up some massive stats for his Spurs career.Quote:

I know LMA had it very difficult to be a fan favorite. But he endured something that if he stays a Spurs, will be remembered, and that is carrying a team when you're Superstar player was trying everything to sink it.
Yes, at the moment, that's the currency he is banking. When all is said and done, however, that was only one season. I'm not sure how long he can draw on that account especially if all of the good fortune you mention doesn't come to pass. In the absence of a chip/chips, LMA would have to perform at last year's levels for quite a few years. I doubt he can.Quote:

I think Patty has a better chance than him.
You mean Matt "Red Mamba" Bonner, the Ibaka Tamer.Quote:

So to that end.
no to Kawhi
yes to Danny and Patty coz they played through injuries
I think #12 will be the next number retired. I believe Bruce will be re-honored and LMA will get a co-retirement celebration with it. Depending on weather or not LMA gets a chip here before it happens makes it a big difference in how the flavor of the celebration goes but it's happening. You don't really unhang a jersey, understood why but didn't like it. I was personally a little surprised that Bruce Bowen got hung up there, because of his being kinda one sided of the court, but as a teammate and community member + a big part of three rings I got it. It also was a nice nod from the Spurs to the workingman's ethos.
:lol wanting a guy who complained about touches and demanded a trade to have his jersey retired here.
Scola tbh
I mean the signs all thereQuote:

So LMA just left a big wet fart on the way out? This clear the way for Patty :lol
