Through last season, Duncan had made $85M in his NBA career and Garnett $165M. Over the course of the rest of their contracts, that spread will get even bigger.

Yup... he would of gotten a Garnett like contract, but he was 1 or 2 years late

This has the makings of a good conversation.
The question boils down to, would Tim have gone #1 in the 96 Draft, the year Kobe came out of high school? What about 95, when Garnett came out? I don't think the 94 Draft, when Tim was a freshman, would be relevant because noone that young came out that year.
If someone has a list of the draft picks for those years, it would be interesting to see how it would have gone.
Would Tim have supplanted Iverson in 96 as #1? Joe Smith went #1 the year before, if I am not mistaken.
it helped kg because they did not have the same max contract rulesThrough last season, Duncan had made $85M in his NBA career and Garnett $165M. Over the course of the rest of their contracts, that spread will get even bigger.

buy the way have you tried to spend 85 million ?
It's not a matter of spending it on yourself. It's about putting it to good use through charity work, leaving more money for children and grandchildren, etc.
no one now can get a kg like contract
How much bird seed could a duck buy with 85 million?
enough to keep the duck swimming !
You can get bulk bird seed at $6 for 50 pounds. So you could buy over 350,000 tons of bird seed with Duncan's contract.
If my calculations are right thats enough to feed.... alot of birdsYou can get bulk bird seed at $6 for 50 pounds. So you could buy over 350,000 tons of bird seed with Duncan's contract.
If birdseed when ducks go, so does CIA.
If you trade Tony and Manu, you're right back to 2001. We had a year4 Duncan, and a much less broken DRob, and got our asses handed to us because all we had were standstill jumpshooters, and no one that could create or penetrate.
Duncan stayed because he told his mom he would get a degree if I remember correctly.
Trading TWO All-star calibre guards for one frontline player means that guy has to be a Championship maker all on his own for years because it would take a long time to replace two top guards.
Garnett sacrificed personal success at the expense of getting a huge contract. Because of his greediness he will never win anything and hasn't won anything or been even remotely successful on a team level (in a team sport) since he entered the NBA. Right now he stands to be one of the biggest wasted talents of all time. I wonder if the extra money that he doesn't need consoles him at night?Through last season, Duncan had made $85M in his NBA career and Garnett $165M.

If he went to college 4 years, he would have been guaranteed a le or come close?
He's a wasted talent because he hasn't won a le?
I don't follow the logic.
And I don't think he is greedy. He gives an incredible amount of money to charity.
Call me crazy, but I'd take money over championships... taking the money doesn't make him greedy, it makes him smart
I would trade Manu and TP for Lebron and Wade......that's about it.
Duncan blows.
what the is this Oden . It would take years to be contenders with Oden.
Beno, Finley, Bowen, Duncan and Oden = 1st round exits for the next 3 years.
When Ohio State can beat Palo Alto, I'll be impressed.
But it makes us contenders for the next 15 years.. not just the next 5
Yea exactly he stayed in school because he promised his mom, who had passed away, that he would get a college degree.
for duncan it never had to do with getting more money or more refined(although this was a biproduct of him staying) it had to do with keeping promises he had made.
Look at it this way, if he had not stayed he probably would not have ended up with the spurs and therefore may not have won the championships he did. He would have never had Robinson as a mentor etc... so in retrospect maybe it did work out for him.
A smart loser.
