what is the least he can take if he stays
He clearly didn't have another year left in him after the clippers series, in his head he wanted it to be his final season, but losing in first round and so underachiever season thanks to pop and Kawhi letting him down he felt he want other ending and it make him do that mistake to comeback that only made more damage to his legasy...

I hope he comes back, but its his and only his choice.
I can't see him coming back unless he has some miraculous rehab in the offseason. He didn't look happy in any interview I saw him in over the last half of the season and the playoffs. For a guy who could dominate any other big in the game it has to be frustrating to only be able to go half speed.
Player Coach? That'd be a sweet le for Tim in his final season. Hasn't been done for decades but it can be done.
Wiki "Today, the collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the players' union prohibits the use of player-coaches, in order to avoid cir venting the league's salary cap, as coaches' salaries are not counted under the cap. Therefore, if a player is to serve as a coach, he would have to receive commission from his contract as a player. The player, then, is not technically an official coach of his team but instead simply a coach in name."
Timmy Player Coach. Sounds like a fitting le to TD's last season. Get it done. Exactly the opposite of Kobe's final year where he hindered the young Lakers. Tim can help everyone on the team from the bench, especially the newbies and play when he is up to it or in favourable matchups for him. Player Coach. Get it done. Imagine Timmy pioneering the player/coach position. It could come back big with vets who are smart and nearly retired but wanna keep playing and who are maybe not ready for a full on assistant job just yet.

I think he wants to come back too.
TD to LMA: "It is time to complete your training."
You are a buffoon! TD had a great game!Played 34 minutes, scored 19 points and was a +13. Do us a favor and check the facts. Butthole!
I think if he comes back it will be in this capacity. It all depends how his body/knees feel with time to recover come training camp.
That injury on his knee this season was the gut punch that slowed him down terribly. Just depends if it is 100% after a couple months of rehab and rest.
Can he repair the good knee? That's the question cause before he got hurt he was playing very well.
Same here don't want him to go out against the hated Thunderefs...
I'd love to see him play again. The Spurs aren't the Spurs without him. But it's going to happen eventually anyway. If it's 2017 so be it.
Legit question.
Can his knees come back to where they were at the start of the season??
If he comes back, I want it to be in the KG role where he plays once a week but would ACTUALLY have the opportunity to collect a ring.
Big rotation next year
Aldridge/ Diaw? West? Bonner? Young athletic PF?
Gasol/ Duncan
This 100xIf he comes back, I want it to be in the KG role where he plays once a week but would ACTUALLY have the opportunity to collect a ring.
If he plays a full season again his career PPG will drop to 16. that, I don't want the millennials remembering this version of Tim.
Unpopular opinion: but i think part of Timmy falloff has been extreme low usage..he actually looked good in games of +30 minutes..these early hooks on him by Pop have hurt his rhythm on both ends ..i think he could have given us more on D and there is a reason he had the best +/- for the series..If he comes back, I want it to be in the KG role where he plays once a week but would ACTUALLY have the opportunity to collect a ring.
Cruel and unusual punishment to bring him back, imo
He couldn't make POINT BLANK layups, that when you know it's over.
I want Timmy and Manu back! I want them to remember this travesty and come back with the fire go for Trophy #6! Hope Pop shows them this video in pre-season ala 2014! GOAT Timmy and Manu! Go Spurs Go!
People forget Timmy posted the best defensive rating in the league. He'd be fine starting next year after rehabbing his knee. If the Spurs manage to land a big like Gasol in the offseason, then bring him off the bench. Either way I'm 100% for him coming back.
The spurs kind of NEED Tim to come back next year if you think about it. That or they role with LMA and Leonad as the 4 and 5. Boban is simply not the answer.
Leave Timmy alone and let him retire. He has had a hall of fame career as a Spur and brought 5 les to The City of San Antonio plus numerous personal accolades. He is the best power forward of all time.
Timmy simply can not go through another season of 82 plus games. He knows this and so does Pop. Timmy most likely would have retired last year but he made a promise to LA that he would play another season.
Majority of the posters during this playoff series game thread acknowledges the wheels have fallen off. His defensive play will be missed.
Thank you Tim Duncan for everything you did for this great city of San Antonio. You are truly the best of all time.
Since when is 8 PPG, almost 8 RPG, almost 3 APG, 1 BPG and stellar team defense at 39 years old an "embassment," clown? Go yourself and run into traffic, head.
I selfishly want Timmy to return too, but if it means jeopardizing the health of his one functional knee then I understand him leaving the game. He's given the NBA, the Spurs and his fans all across the globe more than enough.
