Timmy leaning strongly towards retirement - Per Woj

[dabom]

What a ty ing day.

Damn it. He threw in the towel once Durant pulled that weak move. Gotta get some youth now

Tim is such an ultra compe or I don't believe that was the reason why he retired. This is the same guy who said back during the '01-'02 season he believed the Lakers were not invincible despite getting swept by them a year earlier. I think it came down to both of his knees being messed up that forced his retirement.

[soxxx]

Just one more year please. Beat these punks.

Damn it. He threw in the towel once Durant pulled that weak move. Gotta get some youth now

If he was considering putting his body through for one more season, if there was a chance to ring, it just shows that he's still a warrior.

We've always said that we wouldn't fully appreciate what we've had until he's gone. Looks like it's time to fully appreciate what we've had. We could start listing all the great memories, and still be posting when the season starts. As much as anything, I'm going to miss watching him hug the basketball before games, and waiting outside the tunnel for all his teammates after every game.

I hope he just takes some time totally away from basketball to enjoy his kids. He's earned it.

playing porker these last 2 years.

Maxing out a role player with braids that can't lead a team in scoring past the first round

[dbestpro]

I have been expecting him to retire. He will take a look at the team during the all star break, and if it makes sense, he will return to close it out. Makes for great NBA drama.

sad day....

You know what...this isn't directed at YOU at all so don't think this is an attack fam, but I've been long at a point where I feel like that's the media's way of disrespecting Duncan. I mean let's be real, the guy was the best PF ever after 2003. Rookie of the year, ring in his second, two repeat MVPs (top 5 finish in each year), all defense/all nba each year, 2-time finals MVP, and his 2003 magnus opus. It was hammered home in 2007 with no one in the discussion. That was TEN YEARS ago and that's all people jump to is the GOAT PF. No one says Jordan is the GOAT SG or Lebron the GOAT SF at this point. Its best ever or top 5. The media and casual dumb fans have always reserved top GOAT talk for perimeter players and hype machines.

Duncan's beyond a point of top 5 inclusion...he's at a point where one needs to argue how he ISN'T a Top 5 player. I just feel that the media and casuals of more popular players jump on the "GOAT PF" as a level of feigned respect so that it acknowledges someone who most respect but all while not ever having to consider he's in Mount Rushmore territory officially but they can reserve that for their favorite over-hyped star (Kobe, Lebron, Bird etc). Again its not a knock on you at all but i just cringe when I hear it now because it has described the BASEMENT of his legacy for over ten years now and not his ceiling and I think its by design from many including the media.

Agree 100%. Playing in SA and not having a "brand"like an AI for example kind of hurts his legacy. I think he'll be somewhat of a fish tale and his legend will grow over time...

1 more season Tim.

Don't waste your time, Tim. You won't be getting a sixth ...oh, and thanks for holding that $5mil hostage. Maybe the Spurs can get Westbrook next FA period.

[coachmac87]

I saw Tims kids with Amy on Pei Wei 1604/281 yesterday..

I've never got to see Tim in the normal world so it was weird for me to see them and be like damn...

[ducks]

atleast trade him and then have him retire some team will need the capspace

[Pelezinho]

Tim doesn't give a about attention

[CaptainLate]

Thank you for making this city relevant, Timmy. Sorry that the front office wasted your prime with mediocre talent

LOL, as if the city wouldn't be relevant w/o the Spurs.
See? THAT'S what I'm talking about. Sheep who have no clue what the is going on around their pathetic, insignificant lives. See "Landholt for Congress" on Facebook and don't permit your children to be ashamed that you did nothing. #Landholt2016 supports #Texit

[cd98]

I kind of thought he looked done in the playoffs. Not that he couldn't play anymore, but that he couldn't play to the level he wanted.

The anti-Christian, racist Media hates humility. They are the Enemy of the People. For details, see "Landholt for Congress" on Facebook.

[SilverSpur]

Make him a player/coach , rest him first half of season, play second half and playoffs.

[lefty]

Just ing retire already, you slow ass piece of

[Sean Cagney]

If this is it for Timmy, thanks for everything. Best PF to ever play the game.

^^^^^ This.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Tim will come back if we whiff on Gasol, otherwise, he is out

[Robz4000]

What a ty ing day.

[Robz4000]

Thank you GOAT, may your retirement be joyful and plentiful.

[NASpurs]

Now he has all the time in the world to make Vanessa walk funny.

[Capt Bringdown]

Probably what's best for him and for the team.

[John B]

Timmy is thinking about the team on this decision. He knows the money will be better spent on a young athletic big.
