Should have sent him to Denver b4 the deadline. The Nuggets need a big man who will show up on a nightly basis
Letīs trade him to a contender next year and give him a chance to win another le. He deserves and letīs face it, the Spurs need to move on and start to rebuild...

You're an idiot.
Signed.
Duncan deserves to end his career competing for championships, not going through a painful rebuilding process with a lottery team and a bonehead of a coach
Signed.
Come to Bobcats Timmy. We'd get you one last ring!
If Spurs continue to suck this year, the first thing Pop should do this offseason is asking to Tim want he want: retire as a Spurs (with the assumption he will never win #5) or be traded to a true contender.
If Tim decides to stay, Spurs should re-sign Manu, spend their MLE and try to do some trades to improve the team now.
If Tim rather choose to be traded to a contender, Spurs should trade him for expiring contract and prospects/picks and start rebuilding. The rest of the plan would be to let Manu go, trade Parker for expiring contracts and prospects/picks, let RJ contract expire and go with a young coach.
Agree: Timmy should be the one who decides!!! Actually I dont see him leaving the Spurs, or for that matter, wanting to do so no matter what happens. But if he really likes to chase another ship, so be it...After all, it seems to be the best thing for the Spurs, too. At that point we are not going anywhere and we are handcuffed in terms of improving with Timmy on board. A trade, that would give us a nice young player+one or two 1st rounders shouldn't be hard to find, if we really want to.
Hope Timmy will retire as a Spur, even if it means, going trough some though years, in which we are going nowhere...beeing stuck in the middle of the pack. I take that over seeing Timmy in another jersey, but whats more important: I want Timmy to be happy! He deserves it and should be the one who chooses!
And dont forget: Timmy also is a perfect menthor to young biggs, which we might bring in at some point! Which other player would you choose over Timmy in that regard?
yeah, and let's burn the AT&T center to rebuild a new court.
OVERREACTION.
If Tim stays I will trade Parker and let Manu go anyway.We aren't going to win so there is not reason to lose more years.Rebuilt.Next year we will be in the lottery.Tim will end his career as a Spur and if we are lucky in the NBA draft he could be the David Robinson of new franchise player.
Obviously if you're a Spurs fan, you hope Tim retires as a Spur. But after all he's done for the team, whatever he wants to do is OK with me.
Except if he wants to become a Laker, of course.
Spurs won't have the time to tank a year and rebuild a good team before Duncan retire.
I don't know for you but seeing Tim ending his NBA career with a Spurs' team winning 20 games per year is the last thing I want to see.
Tim would never ask to be traded. Tim would never play for another coach. Tim would never bust a Shaq. Tim is the rarest superstar/great the sports world has ever seen.
It's pointless to keep Manu and Parker if Duncan is gone. Neither are going to help this team contend going forwards. It's far better to get picks and young prospects and start over from the bottom.
First thing to do if they continue to suck is get rid of Popovich. Probably Buford right away, too, or we'll wind up with absolute in return for Duncan.
firstly, i do'nt see any reason to trade Tim.
Tim is making a lot of money for the next 2 years and a half, i'm not sure, as great as he is, that there are a lot of teams interested in him at this price. not that he isn't worth it, but obviously his last good years are the few next ones. don't see any team doing this.
the way i see it, the best chance for Tim to win another le the next three years is with SA. after that, if he wants to keep playing for less money, that could be another story.
and anyway, even without Tim, i cant' see why an all star point guard like tony and a great experienced winner like manu wouldn't be useful to rebuild. Of course, it depends on their next contract. but you can't win with only young prospects.
Tim would be somewhat difficult to shop due to his contract/age, but i think the Rockets would have gone after him..pair him up with their current roster and they could contend..pair him with Yao and they could dominate
Could have done a straight up T-Mac for Duncan
Nuggets might have gotten in on it(although a lot of their money is tied up in 3 players, Nene/Melo/Billups and the only tradeable piece would be Nene)
Tony is breaking down at just age 27, I wouldn't count on him to continue being an All Star in the future..
Manu is a good piece if you can get him at a good price
Tim Duncan is great, but Spurs>Tim Duncan. If Tim Duncan wasn't a Spur I would wish him the best, but I only root for the spurs. Tim Duncan should never wear another uniform. For me that would make those 4 les even more special that a lifetime spur lead the way.
Dude chill. David Robinson was a great and the first three quarters of his career he didn't get an NBA le. Timmy's given a lot to San Antonio and the city's given a lot to Tim. Every team has their tough years. This may or may not be one of those, it's still February and we're still on the verge of winning the conference, God knows Dallas has been trying to let us take the #1 spot. If Tim Duncan ever asks to be traded, I'll support him wherever he goes, until that day, which I don't think will ever happen, then he deserves to remain a Spur.
damps expiring contract for timmy?
cuban wouldn't mind his remaining years and numbers of his contract, if he would get him imho.
On the verge of winning the conference? Wtf are you watching? Dumbass.
Anyone that honestly believes in this team still is blind. Athleticism has been a weak point since 2007, and in 3 years since nothing has been done to address the issue. Yeah every team has tough years, but not when their centerpiece is on the declining side of his career. Tim has maybe 2 years left where we can tally double-doubles consistently, let the man go if he chooses. He's earned it
Only if Duncan personally request to leave....
I know loyalty is no longer valued but I do think that Duncan will stick with San Antonio even if he does not win any more le, taking the Steve Nash approach kinda. While it may be hard on him to carry the team for next couple of years, given the crappy play by his teammates this year, I think at the end of the road, we will remember him dearly for the joys he brought to us when he won the 4 rings.
+10000000000000000
Nah, just trade Pop and we would be back in business.
OP's Idea is late, unoriginal, and fails at providing awesome suggestion
