Ight Tim, hurry the fudge up.
The one part I don't get... and yes I understand the whole "well, it's not your money" argument... but given the uniqueness of the situation, the inherent gravitas of extending Duncan's playing career further (while still fielding a championship contending team) to just say, "the with it" and go into lux tax territory for a season... especially given next season's projected cap boost.
In other words, Duncan's decision should not weigh into the economics for fielding the rest of the team. The FO should manage that separately and if Duncan wants to sign (health permitting) then that contract should be seen as a wholly independent piece... if it takes them over the cap... so be it.

They should give a day. No jokes.
You know during that Clippers series in 2015 it seemed Timmy would never get old. 15 or so months later...
the longer this drags on (official announcement) the more i think Tim is actually still undecided and there is still glimmer of hope he might return (for the minimum in this market? it would be so TD)..If he is indeed set on retiring, it should be made official Monday or Tuesday....
And you know all of his being, but his last knee is willing. It was that last good knee that was his Achilles.You know during that Clippers series in 2015 it seemed Timmy would never get old. 15 or so months later...
Nobody in the NBA could stop Tim Duncan, but his Achilles Knees.
I don't think he can return for the min. He opted into his contract for 6 million.
oh yeah, completely forgot about that..i'm really puzzled now: why would Tim partake in a recruitment meeting of Durant if he is/was "strongly leaning towards retirement"...this Woj report suddenly came out after we lost the Durant sweepstakes..i don't think TD is the type person that would first look at the general landscape of the league before he does to himself.
Tell me about it, that came fast..You know during that Clippers series in 2015 it seemed Timmy would never get old. 15 or so months later...
Tim deserves a better retirement than this. Pau Gasol will be the starting center of the Spurs this year and I hope Tim comes off the bench to play 10-15 minutes. My 2 other idols Ginobili ('77) and a soccer player from Club Bruges, Timmy Simons ('76) continue playing one more year.. . So I hope Tim plays also one more year!
Well if he plays and it's painful for him than it won't be fun he should retire, but if he can play and not be in pain he should play another NBA season. With the Warriors signing Durant, Spurs actually need him on the roster next season.
Was he there? I just thought it was PoP, RC, and LMA.
I'm several thousand miles away from home and suppose it's Sunday mid-afternoon in SA now. i'm thinking we'll hear from Tim in the next 24 hours. Still room for hope...so I will.
Yep. I definitely want him back. I just hope if his knee is still bothering him, that there is still a chance that it can get better in the next few months (he really hasn't had that much time off since the playoffs), I think he should just hold off a bit more and see if he can be ready by January or something. He doesn't have to be ready for opening night IMO.I'm several thousand miles away from home and suppose it's Sunday mid-afternoon in SA now. i'm thinking we'll hear from Tim in the next 24 hours.

Well said!
Manu would have to renegotiate his contract if Tim isn't stretched
At this point I think he's only holding up Bertans and LJC from SL and Pau getting his contract. It's just so strange that he's taken this long.
He can take as long as he got damn well pleases.
He's delaying the retirement announcement out of respect of the fallen Dallas law enforcement. Not sure why folks continue to say otherwise
