I don't do that , Mario.
He gave 1 away last June and Leonard made him get in the back seat a fortnight ago.

Dude has officially given up. There are no more big men to piggy back to les for him. 48.5 was the death blow. He not only inherited the bag,,,he ingested it so as to be 1 for all eternity. Sad way to see him go out,,,,
Dude body watchers... I never understood it. Has nothing to do with game.
Loving Media so far this offseasonDuncan made more than $21.1 million in 2011-12. He then signed a three-year extension which paid him $9.6 million in 2012-13 (OK, that’s actually more than a 50 percent cut.) He earned a shade more than $10.3 million this season and will earn the same next season.
He didn’t have to do it. He could have insisted on more, much more, but he realized that (a) he didn’t really, really need the extra money and (b) his team really, really did need the extra money. So what he did after that season was to make a deafening statement about team, roles and sacrifice. He even set a precedent of sorts; Manu Ginobili did the same thing a year later.
The money Duncan left on the table enabled the Spurs to keep going strong, resulting in back-to-back NBA Finals appearances and a le in 2014.
Sure, the word “sacrifice” has to be taken with a grain of salt. Duncan and his kids will do just fine on his current salary (and the fact he has made more than $200 million in his basketball career.) We’d all like to take a 50 percent pay cut and still earn $10 million.
But how many NBA stars do that?
Hint, here’s one who resolutely did not: Kobe Bryant. And Bryant’s numbers for the next two years are so ludicrously high that the Lakers have no hope of doing anything until he is off the books. Kobe take a pay cut to help his team? Fat chance. He made more money last season than Duncan, Parker and Ginobili combined.
^They've always been your bosom buddy, your bag man. You blew out your flip flop last June and besides me nobody said a in' word.
You got it made in the shade.
I literally salivate when I think about my SUNS stealing the 2015 first-round pick away from them Lakers. That will be a top-ten overall pick, GUARANTEED. LMVICTORIOUSAO!
Let them win the battle during the regular season and watch them lose the war during lottery night.
Do you have knowledge as to the picks disposition should we keep it next season (top 5 protected)?
You're kidding, right? They've never looked past their nose.
s been on vaca for a year, what do u expect![]()
I don't think it is protected at all. Sorry, Charlie.
You're wrong. It's top 5 protected.
I would love to see Kirby play on a team which "earns" a top-5 pick. Wouldn't he just quit again, rather than be part of a 25 win team?
You're nary room. How do you think you got Diaw & Jackson? They conspired with Pop to quit on their teams so they could play on your team.
Duncan was the most consistent player for the Spurs throughout all 5 games, you senile old fruit.
For the love of God he was in the ing backseat, wrecker...
Kobe: 5
the tired old bag Duncan: 5
You go with that; I'm going with this:
$30.4 million for 6 games of bag Bryant or $32 million for Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, and Larry O'Brien?

Fine. You take that. Me? I'm dancin' with who brung me:::
Kobe: 5
the tired old bag Duncan: 5
That brought you to 48.5, 48, The Begging, and 7. At least have the decency to cut Kobe down from the Tree of Woe. Meanwhile I'll stick with
$30.4 million for 6 games of bag Bryant or $32 million for Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, and Larry O'Brien?![]()
Fine. You stick with that, Bum.
Me? I'm dancin' with who brung me:::
Kobe: 5

There's no time for dancing. Get to work on your shinebox
