Hurt his goddamn legacy? Wtf no! The only stat that Duncan cares about are wins, son. Being team first is a blessing
His ppg will decrease but Tim will get a lot more rest too so is all good.

You really think that a guy with Duncan's length and touch (not to mention pedigree) will be reduced to a second chance scorer like a Ben Wallace or a Dennis Rodman?
12 ppg
No. Absolutely not. Im just looking at a scenario where he might not be getting the same touches before this season because of the addition of Aldridge.
Well, that's a fair thought. I personally think that Duncan's efficiency may skyrocket now that he isn't the big drawing the main focus of the defense. Thus, his shots could go way down while he still scores a healthy amount and possibly increases assists and/or offensive rebounds (like you mentioned) as well.
Exactly.
I think this may likely happened. Wouldn't be surprised to see his FG% rise along with the offensive rebound rate. That said, while he'll be more efficient, I'd expect his raw numbers to drop as he plays less minutes this year.
Tim Duncan is bulletproof. Nothing is going to hurt his legacy at this point.
Duncan could very well shoot 55 percent or higher this season if he's allowed to only seek the higher percentage shots. In that case, he would set a career high. That would be quite the development to reach a career high at age 40.
His legacy is well-cemented. It can't go down. But it'll help increase his legacy if he ties Jordan with ring number 6.
Playing alongside the 2 best interior scorers he's played with since the admiral in LMA and West, and with danny and kawhi improving, I expect TD's APG/48 to be a career high (3.9 in 2002/03) Possibly not as we swing the ball around so much more than his early days.
I don't think the offense will run through him enough to average anything higher than last season's assist numbers.
1) Take his per-36 minute career average
2) Divide it by the number of minutes he plays
3) *****
4) Profit!
He's the same. Always the same. Mr. Fundamental. His numbers will be based on his minutes.
Yes, really.
14.8 PPG for Timmy and also 9.2 RPG
I don't care who scores what as long as we see the return of THE BEAUTIFUL GAME.
Duncan's legacy will be cemented by his longevity and gong out with B2B les. Who was Kareem scoring all those points on? Dave Cowens?!? Come on man!
The depth will be a huge blessing as we can rest Duncan in B2Bs and still win and match up against the few teams that throw two quality bigs at us.
There will be fewer touches on offense but that should allow everyone to use more energy for defense.
10.9 PPG, 7.9 RPG
