Need to sign him to a cheap contract and grab an athletic big man to take up some of the defensive slack
Duncan is stupid

He should stay as the 3rd/4th big...
Getting minutes behind Bonner knowing Pop.
Excellent post.
Could play isn't the same as "my intention is to" or "I'm leaning towards" or "I'm considering", etc. He's just saying, physically he thinks he could hold up that long if he continues to play the minutes he's currently playing or close to it.
Unlike many, I never thought this would be his last season. I always thought he'd play one more, then see how he felt and where the team was at. I think him and Ginobili will retire at the same time. Probably either after next season or the one after that.
has anyone confirmed this yet?
Man those Rocket announcers are obnoxious. I'm sure the other side would say that about our crew, but I almost murdered something during the game.
You wouldn't want to play 3-4 years for $7-$10 million per season? I fully want to rebuild, but Tim is the one player I can't part with on this team no matter what. I'd be pissed if they traded him for LeBron+Wade.
I love Tim but really?
yeah
Not even for Lebron+Wade
Not even if Micky threw in a cruise ship too.
We just gon havta disagree on det one den
I agree with this, want Tim to retire as a Spur, but at this point I would trade him for LBJ and Wade.
It'd be great if he stuck around on a cap-friendly contract. My fear is that the FO pays him too much to play on and it hamstrings the rebuild that is obviously so necessary. We've got some really nice pieces, and Kawhi is undoubtedly a keeper, but somehow wee need to find another good young big.
Pay cut + Starting PF = Championships + Exclamation mark
He's still above average bigman, so its great news. His new contract will likely be around $5M per season, which will allow the Spurs to add an all-star bigman the following season.
The Spurs had bad luck in 10-11 with Manu's injury, and they had match-up problems with the Suns in the 09-10 seasons, but they still can make good runs.
The west looks wide open this season. The elite east teams are favourites, though.
Depends what you mean by cap-friendly contract. He's obviously not going to get $20 million a year, but people who think he is going to re-sign for the MLE or the minimum (lol) are nuts. I'm not worried at all at what they pay Tim, as San Antonio is never going to do much with cap space and even in the best case that they draft a franchise bigman, they don't have to pay him for 4 years anyways.I agree with this, want Tim to retire as a Spur, but at this point I would trade him for LBJ and Wade.

Much respect to Timmy, we all know he deserves it, but please...please Timmy, don't go the way of Hakeem, Parish, Shaq etc.
The wheels arn't off, but I see some lug nuts missing.
The best thing Tim could do to buy some more time is develop a really nice hook shot. Hard to do at this stage... same thing that would have made Dave unstoppable.
They'll offer him a 2yr, $20mil deal I'd think, just like DRob.
I haven't taken a close look at the cap, I just meant something reasonable. It'd be great if he'd sign for $5mil a year, but I doubt he'd do that. How we're going to get ourselves a promising young bigman to play with him is the big question.
I think he'll only sign one year contracts at this point.
Not only do I not think he'd sign for $5 million, I don't think they'd have the audacity to offer him that (I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's relative). Production wise, if he can end up approximating last season's production, then he's worth at least double that. I'm thinking more along the lines of $12 or $14 million. $10 at minimum.
They need to package Blair, Anderson and their 1st for a quality big. That won't get them a star, but it could get them a potential impact defender, like Davis.
Wishful thinking.
it will be interesting to see if he wants to play here 3-4 more years after Manu retires and TP leaves for a chance at another ring. i would think being as uncompe ive as we will be when that happens he will not want to play here. i can see Tim playing for another team (maybe OKC) to get another ring. i don't think he would rule it out.
I'm personally hoping for the MLE but I know thats too generous of a thought. I'm expecting 2 year 20 million dollar deal but hoping for something along the lines of a 3 years full MLE.
Ehhhhhh it is already painful watching him at times, thought this or next would be his last year! I would not want to see him past that for his OWN long term health! I hope he makes the right decision.
good bye duncan o dwight howard
