10 or 11 mil is fair.. Tim would never be greedy anyway...

[ploto]

I agree that TD should get about what KG got. At this point, Tim is not contributing more to his team than KG, especially given that Tim will sit out a number of games.

To those who say that Tim should get whatever he wants, he already got paid. He does not need to get paid now for what he did in the past.

[ploto]

Reports are Raptors will offer Nash 3 years and $36 million.

[therealtruth]

Not disagreeing, but we know that per minute stats with Tim could be a little deceiving. There is a reason Pop feels he has to heavily monitor Tims minutes and KG can play more. You might get diminishing returns from Tim.

I agree per minute stats don't mean you can play big minutes and maintain the same level.

The timing on the announcement of Tim's new deal is interesting to me. If they announce it after the Spurs have used their MLE/BAE and made their decisions on Green and Mills, it would indicate to me that Tim has become part of the decision-making process with Pop and ownership.

Press conference after G7 of 05 finals.
Reporter: "Now looking at the offseason, you are not the GM of the team.."
Duncan interrupting: "No I'm not, not officially." Smiling.

I'd be extremely surprised if Duncan was not involved on a lot of decisions Spurs made in the last decade, already.

This.
I highly doubt Duncan was worth > 20 M for the Dallas, Phoenix and Memphis series of 09, 10 and 11.

Of course, he's been consulted on the team's direction for quite some time. What I suggested in my post, and seems to be confirmed by Stein's tweet, is a seat at the table with input into decisions at a very detailed level.

Yes.
With the amount of money made by Duncan in his career, and assuming he has not thrown some out of the window (not the type of guy, and certainly not for clothing), he could probably buy the franchise.

[Uriel]

Spurs won't have any cap space whether Duncan signs for 6M or 12M. They'll have the same possible use of the MLE, BAE and vet minimum to sign free agents in either case.

Spurs were only going to have meaningful cap space if Duncan retired or signed a contract close to the minimum.

Spurs' fluid plan w/Spur For Life Tim Duncan: I'm told they'll pound out deal specifics & then finalize when timing meshes best w/other biz

Mel_13, does our cap situation change at all in light of this new information provided by Marc Stein?

No.

See my post in the other Duncan thread.

[Horse]

spending money on fa's and draft picks we need to use that money to pay the refs to call it down the middle. That would go farther than anyone we could sign.

Guy said as much himself during the playoffs. I guess it's good to confirm he didn't change his mind.

Give Duncan 1 year 12 million and then start the rebuilding process next summer when Manu and Duncan are coming off the books.Also trade Parker now or next year.

One year run max with this core.

[DesignatedT]

Doubt Duncan would want to sign a one year deal and have to go through this again.

[ducks]

hopefully this duncan guy signs for the vet min

[weebo]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I would've thought 2yrs/$24-26mil would be fair to both parties. Hopes that he'll sign for nothing are in vain - he'll get paid. You don't short-change the guy who brought the franchise 4 rings.

[tuncaboylu]

3 years front loaded 35M is OK for me.
13M this year, 11.5M next year and 10M the third year. It shouldn'e be shorter than 3 years since he can play at least 3 years more.

[007nites]

I say it. Duncan 4 years, 45 mil. This will leave him with a quarter of a billion dollars in Career Salary.

Spurs got off cheap tbh....should already be there with the money he left on the table.
