Why not trade Duncan?

[Fabbs]

Complete non-sequitur fail. Wtf are you talking about?

Back up your nuttless claims then.
ducks suggested trading one or more of the Big 3 but preferably keeping Parker as he is the youngest. You said it should be Parker traded and not Duncan or GNob.

My response was to your response.
Bring a better game or STFU.

I said Parker has greater trade value than Duncan or Manu. He does. I didn't suggest that trading him is a good idea or that the Spurs could get equal value back in a trade.

Try to keep up.

Oh, @ you telling anyone to up their game. Stick to photoshopping players in wedding dresses. Those threads are in your wheelhouse.

[Fabbs]

I said Parker has greater trade value than Duncan or Manu.

And that's the extent of it?
Not really sure what's the point of your point then.

Other then you want to keep it all the same.
5-10 for the PollyAnna Poppers. Yah!

No, you do.
The thread is addressing trading (or not) of Duncan (and then others ) and making the team better.
Your little blurb on what you think about Parkers trade value is hardly "keeping up". My pointing out the Spurs playoff record since summer 2008 and the keeping of Popzit and lineups and stratagies are 5 wins and 10 losses. Relevant.

You'll never get that promotion from Village Idiot to Court Jester if you don't raise your game.

The only way the Spurs should even think about trading Duncan is if he requests it.

And then they should nicely ask him where he would like to go and make it happen.

[Mikesatx]

Ditto, even if keeping Duncan means sacrificing future championships. I would never trade championships for Duncan.

Robinson is a Spurs legend who spent his entire career here.
Duncan, Parker, Ginobili can follow suit.

4 of our 5 best players spent their entire career with the Spurs. That is amazing in itself. Gervin is the only exception with 1 NBA year in Chicago.

Even the lovable Sean Ellliot was with the Spurs all but one year.

Our best Spurs will always be known as Spurs.

Not like Shaq, Chamberlain, and Kareem who spent their careers in different cities.

As far as I'm concerned Duncan is our Joe Paterno. Duncan will know when the time is right to hang em up and when he does I hope he gets season tickets next to Big Dave.

[TheSullyMonster]

What kind of player would we get for him, anyway?

Not worth it.

[iManu]

This guy has more posts than me.

The whole "300" rule doesn't really mean much, but I try to respect it.

Though, I've been here longer than Damon Stoudemire.

[iManu]

Actually, Finley and I arrived on about the same day.

Duncan has earned being treated with respect. He deserves to retire on his terms. I'm assuming that will be as a Spur.

[Andy25]

Why is it no one has mentioned the possibility of trading Duncan?

Lets face it, this team needs to be blown up, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to end his career on a team destined for lottery land, so why not offer to trade him to any team he would like to go to? Miami can offer a couple good players and future picks for him. Who knows what we could get from the Lakers, maybe Bynum.

[Waps1980]

It is stupid to say the can't win a le with this team, cos all that is missing is someone like splitter.

Add Splitter and RJ will greatly improve as every Spur does in there second year.
I think that will spell le contender for sure.

[slick'81]

if splitter is half as good as people are saying we draft a good player and get rid of rj for a better fit maybe just maybe we can compete in the 2nd round

I agree 100% but the Spurs need to rebuild, and he is going to have to accept that this team is over. We can continue to just say that the next two years are his fair well tour but that's a pretty long tour. By 2013 this team will be toast and we will be rebuilding for the next 4 or 5 seasons.

Splitter is no silver bullet, he ain't going to be the 2nd coming of D-Rob, at best he might be as good as Gasol, but I see him as more of a soft Euro that can't play defense or board, and those are the things we really need right now.

Splitter is a upgrade on Bonner but he isn't the player that takes us to the next level like some in here want to believe.

[jjvalerieD]

Because he is a legend who deserves to finish his career in SA

YES!

[Chubby_Love]

Didn't I ask this question a couple of weeks ago, and I was accused of being a troll? Well....I got my answer, and it should still be the same. Duncan should and he will retire a Spur.

Why not commit suicide? Cause it's a stupid thing to do.

Ok, lets enjoy your little game...who are you going to trade tim duncan for with his 20+ million dollar contract......

Does it really matter, it will be on his terms so more than likely expiring contracts and draft picks.

Rebuilding is rebuilding, what would happen is the Spurs would get real crappy real fast and they would be getting bad contracts back with the hope of getting cap space to offer free agents that likely won't want to join us until we start landing players in the draft.

So we suck badly for 2 or 3 seasons get a couple top notch players to go with Hill, Blair, and whoever is our 1st this season. In the same time we trade Parker and Manu for whatever we can get for them. And within 4 season we are back in the playoffs with a pretty solid unit.
