Duncan is signed through 2012. His salary:
08-09: $20,598,703
09-10: $22,183,218
10-11: $18,700,000
11-12: $21,300,000
I think Duncan will be here past 2010, if only for a couple of years. The order of departure will be Manu/Duncan/Parker.

He better be, his contract goes until 2012
See? I was right!
I was saying that we will have two events that are large unknowns that will determine things:
2010: who will we see as free agents, what money will we have and what to do with Manu?
2012: Duncan's contract expires, based on 2010, who can we target that is available if we assume Duncan will retire and his 21-22 million dollars is available to spend.
You make it too easy.

The voting panel consisted of the NBA’s 30 head coaches, who were asked to select NBA All-Defensive First and Second Teams by position.
Sure it will. But the bottom doesn't totally have to completely fall out. I agree with Benefactor on this. I just don't think it's a smart strategy to keep forfeiting the future by casting your lot with "ring-chasing veterans", whose skills have diminished and are willing to play for the minimum.
A strategy of filling those voids via the draft and carefully selected mid-career free agents would be more appropriate. There never is any harm in "growing your own talent".
I wonder which superstar wants to go after the most. I personally hope he as his eyes on Dirk, then he'll have a shooting big even ST will agree with.
And it's wishful thinking I know.
That was last year. Got damn spurs lost last year.. Bowen didn't do in the playoffs.
Frickin Homer....
Congrats to Farmer. I was rooting for him but I'd like to keep Malik and waive Tolliver
I hope now Malik can go to Toros and improve there
Without Bowen, we woulda lost to the Hornets. His defense on Peja was solid.
, he raped Peja on that court. When Bowen outscores you consistently, you know he owns you. Such is the case with Peja.
Chris Paul lost last year too.
Bowen's jersey will hang in the rafters one day.
Anyways, Farmer is #13.
What the man? I can like more than one team if I want to.
Farmer should be more readily able to step in NOW if called upon than Malik. Malik was going to ride the pine all year not developing unless sent to the D league where as Farmer has been around a bit. Farmer is going to ride the pine too but as I stated would be more ready to step in and provide. Malik could possibly be on the Toros sometime this season or back in a Spurs uni if next season calls for it.
This may be short-sighted, but any rook that has the skills and cahones to block a Tayshaun Prince shot, is a guy I want on my team.
Welcome Desmon Farmer! Hopefully this isnt a bonehead move.
Assuming some team doesn't pick him up.
Just had a CIA conspirarcy theory. Perhaps the Spurs waited until the last minute to allow other teams to set their rosters. This way whoever they cut would be less likely to sign with another team. Long shot theory, but what the ? I'm bored waiting on the start of the regular season.
Exactly so many former members are ranting and raving over end of the bench guys (Farmer,Hairston). You'd think by ST, that the Spurs FO just waived a future hall of famer.
yeah we don't actually know if any team has tried to lure him away from us still... and if he turns it up at the Toros and we could move a player or if Tolliver doesn't pan out we could call him up...
FIXED

Who's to say the Spurs didn't ask Malik if he were willing to play overseas for one season and he said yes?
Don't you want the best possible player in every spot on our team? The way the compe ion is these days even the 15th spot might make some difference.
Putting that aside though. These players that are at the end of our bench today can be moved up later. Be it this season or the next few. OR Maybe that wont happen but many can argue that there is allot of potintual in our camp foder this year.
So why McDonald didn't report if after the game????To the surprise of nobody who watched the Spurs' preseason finale against Miami on Friday, Malik Hairston was not with the team when they returned to practice Sunday morning.
