Duncan for two more years? Iiiiiiinteresting.
Soon.
Duncan for two more years? Iiiiiiinteresting.
That sounds like a good option to me!
How do you embed the twitter message?
He's due 10m next year I believe. So I'm assuming he'd sign a 2 year 14m deal or similar.
I've actually thought he was going to do something similar for a few days now so I'm glad it's looking like a real possibility
This would be great news. Timmy continues to school t.he rest of the NBA on how to win!
I think 10M is fine for him, giving him less than Splitter would be ridiculous imo...
If that's the case then...................
Duncan ting on Kirby and his extension even more tbh.
sending a message to Mills and Boris?
Sending a message to the front office. SIGN THEM!
Great news.
1. Most importantly, we get to see Tim Duncan play basketball for at least one more season.
2. If a new deal lowers his 2014-15 salary, the probability of retaining both Boris and Patty increases significantly, IMO.
3. lol kobe. Duncan clearly values winning more than he does.
1. Indeed. It would also make 2016 the new 2015 in terms of cap space.
2. I don't see that. The only benefit I see in Duncan lowering his salary is if the Spurs finally go under the cap. They provably won't do that if they keep Mills and Diaw. Although I guess it does increase the likelihood that the Spurs give Patty the long-term deal it would take to keep him.
Use the "tweet" tags, with the tweet ID imbetween them (which is found in the URL of the tweet).
For instance, to embed the above tweet, you would do:
[ tweet]481104118497308673[ /tweet]
Without the spaces, mind you.
This is the kind of news I like reading.
The Spurs were willing to go above the cap for Richard ing Jefferson. Maybe...just maybe...Holt loosens the purse strings enough again to try to bring back the championship squad.
God, I love calling them that.
Regardless of the actual impact, if this is true and Tim takes less money (even though it's more guaranteed because of the extra year) he would reach philanthropist status.
awesome news if this happens. if he actually signs up for a 2nd year, it means he won't be plodding through this season as some sort of farewell tour with the finish line in sight. dude is still passionate about winning after everything
In the day of the me first superstar, this would be epic.
Duncan fresh off averaging 16/9 for his 5th championship, still hungry for more
No but seriously, Spurs NEED to find a decent system-subs ution for him. 'Ginobili' his ass by benching him until the playoffs.
Duncan is the real man
Yeah, but I heard that he is going to play summer ball, representing St. Croix in the CIIBA (Caribbean Inter-Island Basketball Association). He loves St. Croix, so why not do it. He's still young, and nothing bad can come of it.
Although thinking of that second year as a reward is sort of concerning. That implied that the team is simply giving Tim some extra money for retirement rather than him possibly playing in 2015. I don't really mind that, obviously. Tim's earned more money than the Spurs can legally give him.
The question really is: Why would the Spurs WANT to lower his cap number? Even if they are just giving Tim send-off money, they could could/should make his 2014 cap number as big as possible to preserve 2015 cap space.
Timmy has pretty much done it all, except for the one thing that has eluded him and the Spurs his entire career...repeating as champions.
We definitely have the squad to do it next season, provided we keep Diaw and Mills, and Ginobili is closer to 2014 form than 2013 form.
A repeat in 2015 and 6 rings for Timmy would make it...
BOILED DOWN:::
1. Jordan
2. Duncan
3. The rest
