Legally, no. You can't re-sign with the team that trades you for a year. But since you're talking about one-day ceremonial contracts, I don't think anyone cares about the CBA in regards to those.
Just curious, if that does happen, can Tim still resign with the Spurs and THEN retire shortly after? Kind of like in the NFL
edit: this is with regards to chinook's scenario. I missed the reply with quote button lol

No Pop wouldn't let it happen. Why would you bench the Finals MVP on the crucial defensive possessions you need to close the game? Pop even illegally subs uted to bench him.
Well if Timmy retires try and sign Pau Gasol, you can't replace an all-time great player like Tim, but Pau would help fill the void for sure.
It was the system I tell you, it was always the system.
It's ok my friend
You still have Arsenal

By what date does Tim and many have to inform the Spurs?
Spurs key dates
Wednesday: Deadline for Manu Ginobili ($2.94 million) and David West ($1.55 million) to opt in to the final season of their contracts.
Thursday: NBA draft — Spurs hold one pick, No. 29 overall.
June 29: Deadline for Tim Duncan ($5.64 million) to opt in to the final season of his contract.
June 30: Full value of Boris Diaw’s $7 million becomes guaranteed. The Spurs owe him only $3 million if waived by this date.
July 1: Free agency opens.
July 6: Free agents permitted to formally sign new contracts.
Within 2 weeks we'll know a lot
D west already declined his option I believe.
Jonathon Simmons contract. When does it become guaranteed? June 30 too?
I think D West said he was declining, but not sure it has "officially" happened. Could be wrong. Not sure about Simmons. Given his contract I would be shocked if it isn't pick up. I'm far from convinced he'll ever be a regular contributor, but he is cheap enough and flashed enough potential to stay.
Kawhi's missed free throw in Game 6 says hi.
Kawhi was shooting 63% at the line in the playoffs went 3/4 (75%) from the line.![]()
I didn't bring up Manu splitting FTs in Gm 6 b/c he was splitting FTs the entire postseason.
Turnobili committed 8 turnovers in Gm 6 & topped himself by turning the ball over to seal Gm 7.

I get 2015, but are you being serious with 2014? Half his points were in garbage time. His team lost in one of the most embarrassing fashions in NBA history.
Nobody's winning FMVP on the losing team if they can't win more than 1 game. Idiot.
Kawhi haters are worse than LeBron haters.![]()
Just keep in mind, as Jeff McDonald just tweeted, that even if Manu/Tim decline options that doesn't mean they are retiring. It could mean that, but even if they decline their options they can still re-sign another deal (bigger or smaller) as well.
I see. To be fair though, I haven't really seen your scenario in the NFL, but I did see some ceremonial signings, just not coming off of trades and buyouts. Anyway, thanks for clarifying on that one though.
Can't we just get him a pair of Heelys?
Then he won't have any problems keeping up
Hey man I heard the 22nd was when we'd hear about whether Manu and Tim were opting in to their contracts. I heard the 29th was the deadline for West. Maybe someone got it wrong. I'd have thought the opt in deadline would be the same for all of them.
one more year.....one more year....one more year
I still have no clue in what Pop was thinking at the end of that game when you need one board and the guy has 17 of them already.......
Then maybe you haven't been paying attention the past 20 seasons. Pop is all about his system and about matchups. They go big, we'll go big. They go small, we'll go small. In the 2013 finals, Pop did the same thing he'd done all season: sit Tim in crunch time when defending smaller lineups and/or when needing to defend the 3 point line. He was only one rebound away from ultimate success. Not bad if you ask me.
There is no great person on this team than Tim Duncan... unless you include me in which case.. It's all about the system.
No Duncan was assimilated into the system around 2007. Only Parker and 2015 Boris are truly free.
They had Bosh out there so they were not completely small. Just because he does it doesn't mean it works or makes sense, of course at times some of the things he does is not going to work because that is life and it back fires. I still think if Tim was out there they win, but that is heresay and it happened and they avenged it the next year so all is good. I have watched the past 20 years, Pop is a genius at times and at times rides things too far and it's puzzling, take the good with the bad. I know he did that all season too, that time it back fired though and Bosh got the board off a freakish bounce and the rest is history.
I am glad it worked out the way it did though in the end, the beat down the next year and the story line was unbelievable on that one.
