Timmy leaning strongly towards retirement - Per Woj

[SPURt]

So these latest signings (Manu at a high salary, Dedmond) only work if Tim is being stretched? And if so, obviously that means he's retiring. It's 100% now, I think.

Some cap person give me a ray of hope.

It depends on what Manu does, we don't know what Manu is taking. I wonder how much Manu wants to play with Tim one more year? Manu's agent said he is taking way less to play this year for the Spurs than a more compe ive offer elsewhere. I think Denver was the team, they had cap room for Wade but I could see Manu turning them down for the same reasons.

Sadly, I too worry the next time we see 21 on a Spurs jersey it's going to be up in the rafters.

[Chinook]

I thought they could go over the salary cap to pay Manu? Why would that affect Tim re-signing?

Tim is still under contract. They don't have the space to keep Tim on if Manu is signed with his Bird rights. The only logic way all the reports fit together is if Tim is leave with the team stretching his contract.

[Nathan89]

Whatever they do with Tim's contract it better not impact targeting a pg next year. Especially now that the expected cap is 6 mil lower.

We're in the darkest timeline.

nah, if this was the darkest timeline, kawhi would have lost an arm, manu would be in an asylum, tony would speaking through a voice box, mills would be a drunk, bonner would have a blue streak in his hair, tim would have faked his own death, and pop would have an evil black goatee.


yes, i know noone else will get this.

td opted in though. so don't you mean we wouldn't have the space to keep manu? unless the spurs stretched td's contract.

Yes, and they likely won't stretch him unless he's retiring. But if they don't, Manu could also take a min deal or something close to it. I have no idea if that's something he'd want to do, though.

If they trade Patty and choose not to bring over LJC, they may be able to pay Timmy 6.3m and keep Manu's cap hold.

Again, that's really not their choice at this point. Anyway, don't forget that the roster charges pretty much mitigate the advantage of cutting them out of the cap work. And I am not trading Patty just to give Manu more money. I like Forbes as much as the next guy, but Mills isn't going anywhere this year, I don't think.

Timmy is gone then.

Best episode of Season 3.

We're in the darkest timeline.

You must be young or a new fan to the Spurs. You obviously don't remember the Pre-Tim years when the Utah Jazz slapped the Spurs around every year. When the team's fortunes rested on a backcourt of Lloyd Daniels and Vinny Del Negro.

Nah, the Spurs will be ok. We are all just going to miss the greatness that was Tim Duncan. The guy stayed true to his word and played till the wheels fell off. -- Plural.

Don't completely discount the Spurstalk community.

It was tongue in cheek, calm down and I've been watching the Spurs since '94. And yes, I remember Del Negro, Lloyd Daniels, Sleepy Floyd, JR Ried, Jack Haley, Negele Knight, Corey Alexander etc.

lol it was a really obscure tv reference

When the team's fortunes rested on a backcourt of Lloyd Daniels and Vinny Del Negro.

i hate to admit this, but that is probably my fave non-championship spurs team. for no real basketball reason....there was just something entertaining about that group. completely miscast and non-cohesive. tarkanian bringing in daniels and making him the starter day 1. a bunch of 1 dimensional guys and fringe players. but for some reason i really enjoyed watching that group.

Dedmon getting the RE most likely means Tim is retiring.

LOL getting hopes up that Vinny of the Black would be awesome and lead the team to a ring. OR even pre-david...

I remember all that unfortunately. The year I thought they had it they blew it with HC (1995).

Just hate Woj broke this news, tbh... this niglet is almost always right
