Tim Duncan decision coming [UPDATE: Opts in]

[hsxvvd]

Hypothetically what do people think Duncan is worth as a free agent? He's a Spurs for life I know, but what sort of offers do you think other teams would (hypothetically) offer him in free agency this year? It would surely only be interest from contenders at this point or a team wanting his play-off experience perhaps.

he is still one of the better frontcourt players in the league so he could easily get something along the the lines of 15 million or more a year.

Thank you God!

Yessssss.

He can't play that many minutes anymore, which would limit his value to teams without center depth.

Based off this past year? Easily between 13-15 or if a team really wanted him, a bit more.

Miami would take him.

Poll the Miami fans, Duncan or Melo for another run? This would be interesting to see justified responses.
Assuming there really are true Miami fans who know something about basketball above and beyond Arab DJs...

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

Kareem and Russell are still up there, but it does bump Magic down. If you're going only modern-era guys, it makes Duncan top 3 though. It'd be nice if he got another FMVP

[Kidd K]

Yup...that's the difference between actual reporting and mere speculation.

exactly.

How is that something to even make fun of? "lmao, he waits until sources are confirmed and facts are checked to report news. What a LOSER! "

Kobe : 201 WS, earned 280M$
Probably proportional to FG%

It's because of defense.

Kobe Offensive Rating: 111
Duncan Offensive Rating: 110

Kobe Defensive Rating: 105
Duncan Defensive Rating: 95


Duncan completely cruhes Kobe on defense. Whole different solar system in defensive impact. Kobe average, Duncan nearly highest DRating ever (2nd atm, and barely not 1st solely due to playing longer in decline years much longer than #1 guy).
