Top 30 NBA Spurs (Updated every Sunday)

It's going to be funny if Duncan tells the Spurs to go themselves next year and leaves to go play for a big market team that has a better chance of winning a le.

Like David threatened to do in 2001 with the Knicks?

No...

More like Duncan almost did...you know, Orlando...

[whottt]

And BTW, if the Spurs ask Duncan to take that kind of paycut when he's still the second best player on the team...

Guranteed he'll be gone.



Meanwhile...you were probably one of the ones wishing we'd signed Webber or kept DA. Winnah.

They won't ask Tim to do a paycut. Unlike DRob in 2001, he's still in his prime years. If he opts out next summer, it will be to either voluntarily put more $$$ in the '08 FA pot, or to extend his deal to the end of his career.

Webber was probably SA's first choice, and at the time, he was still quite healthy and a prize. Hindsight is 20/20. DA was a putz who signed his own ticket out of town. There were other players available, had SA some caproom. Saint David made sure that was not the case.

Duncan didn't threaten anything. He was simply examining his options. He picked his best one. It's still his best one, even today, in terms of compe iveness and total compensation package.
