Love em. But we can't have these corpses taking up roster spots and ing up our season again. They need to go.
If they don't retire, ill become an OKC Thunder fan. You've been warned.
At this point it's not like the Spurs should give them an option. RC sits down with them and says, "Look, we gave it a good shot for the last 2 seasons after the championship but it's time to get younger and free up cap space." Then RC calls Pop into his office and tells the lazy to shave his beard and get ready to actually coach players that need it.
Manu and Tim have jobs for life in the front office or on the bench as assistants
Yes because with them off the team we are sure to win it all next year. off you old clowns..
Mah niga. Excellent plan. Yes they can take the spots of loser Becky and Italian scrub easily. bonner should take the spot of African fellow as well.
But we can't have them taking up roster spots.
Teage
Green
Kawhi
Aldridge
Gasol.
...as should OP
With them we wont even win a playoff round. Without them we could possibly win a series.
Nope but you begin to rebuild with players that will need minutes to get better and your coach actually has to... wait for it... coach. The longer we hold onto old relics the more disappointed we are going to be at wasted years for Aldridge and Kawhi. Tim and Manu do not move the needle, they are a net negative now.
All the fans who want them to stay aren't thinking logically but with nostalgia with what they once were. Yeah they gave alot to this team but if they are slowing us down they need to go tbh. It reared its head in this round and ended up getting knocked out of the 2nd as a result. Need to use that salary to move on and rebuild something younger and more athletic to keep up with the new teams who are dominating us. I wish we could get a replacement for Parker too as well but that probably won't happen. If the Spurs are serious about winning and reaching the finals again they need to make some major changes.
Wasting as in it's championship or nothing? I think some Spurs fans needs to get used the idea of a championship drought as Duncan and Manu exit the stage. You have franchises like the Pacers that still have never even won a le. Support your team and don't be so greedy..
Uh they just won a playoff series, and 67 games a franchise record. What exactly are you expectations next season?
Absolutely it's championship or nothing... why else play? That's why they play the game right? to win? If we are not concerned about winning championships why spend 20 mil on a offensive PF, why not continue to just add pieces of a crumbling infrastructure? Nope, the object at this point is to get young to compete and challenge for a le with Kawhi and Aldridge not hang on to relics of the past. Same goes with Parker, he doesn't add anything to the team that they need going forward. Leadership? Poise? You're suppose to have a coach that does that.. and you have players that are supposed to step up into that role that are the new wave, that's what Kawhi has to do not depend on past their prime guys to make a difference off the bench.
Greedy is collecting checks when you don't have anything to offer to the team when you're getting bounced by young athletic teams that run you out of the gym and out rebound you.
Even if you throw respect and nostalgia out of the window, the thing is that it's just not realistic getting better players for less money and it's probably not even close.
They were horrid vs OKC. And its called developing young talent.
Duncan back great mental other bigs off bench does not start play a 12 minutes off bench
Goes against other bench
Manu is done though
Then it's going to suck for you being a fan. 1 team wins the le every year, and our once in a generation player is on the way out. Since Jordan retired the only people that won rings have been pretty much, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan and Lebron. Now Curry is joining the party. look at all the great players in Jordan's era that never won a single le. Malone, Barkley, Ewing, Miller. The Spurs are going to be in a bit of a transition mode here, in the next 2-3 years. Leonard will be the man, if he stays healthy and they will keep trying to build around him. Now do I expect them to win a le in the next 2-3 years? I don't. Why because Tim Duncan is finally leaving, and building around a player that helps you win 5 rings, just doesn't happen. But I will keep cheering and supporting the team even without rings as the next era is ushered in..
Ok. Fine. Duncan off d Bench. Manu is finished thou put a suit on him and tell Becky to get the in the kitchen
I have expressed my belief that this was the last roundup for Tim and Manu since last fall. I would not be completely shocked to see Pop ride off into the sunset with them. He is not exactly known to embrace young players or the challenge of developing them.With or without Pop at the helm, perhaps The Spurs could also package Tony with a pick and move him, too.
Duncan made this team what it is. He goes out on his own terms.
Op is the same who started the thread "Tim Duncan Sucks" several years ago. He has zero respect for what Tim has meant to the Spurs. If you want to troll, do another topic. GTFO
And he did suck in 2010. Tbh. Truth hurts
Why the is people arguing with someone using the username hater?
It is time to get younger; everything has a shelf lifeI love Tim and Manu is my favorite player of all time but it is time to go. Time for the new crop of players to build their legacy as spurs
Besides the fact that thos thread probably means they come back, I agree. They aren't more valuable than the cap space, and the team can't afford to give rotation spots to part-time players. At this point they're hurting the team's depth, and repairing it will take years. The longer they wait, the harder it's going to be.
They earned to do whatever they want, tbh... it's very unlikely we're going to be winning championships in the next 2-3 years anyways, IMO, unless we get some fluke, magical rejuvenation season from either of those two guys...
OP might want to test the OKC waters in the meantime, tbh...
