Ludden: Spurs hope to net nice return on remodeling job

[TIMMYD!]

Wow, his lost weight makes his head look bigger.

This is going to be an interesting season for the Spurs. Duncan at 240? Wow!

With Selena Gomez hot

[tp2021]

Here is a funny thought though. Wade, LeBron and Bosh's contracts have player options, so if RJ does not opt out and the same goes for Wade and Bosh it will certainly be interesting. The Spura have not chance at LeBron, but the other two is another story. Still that is a long time from now.

I'm not exactly understanding this. Do you mean if RJ, Wade, and Bosh all DO opt out, we could have a chance at Wade or Bosh?

a new revitalized timmy in great shape i like it

fck it if hes lost all that dead weight he probably needs to at his age

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ehhhhhh duncan is going to get pushed around like a basketball baby on NBA jam.

Obviously we are going to depend ALOT on Dice....this season has so much risk attached to it, it's incredible. Such a precarious situation. We are going to annihilate all teams in our way if we stay healthy....but just one injury, ONE--and I see the house tumbling down.

[Buddy Holly]

Why is Duncan taking pictures with Disney actors?

[jag]

this is the best Spurs team ever assembled, anything less then an EASY le win would a major failure

Stupid and uninformed comment.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's not the best Spurs team assembled, because our franchise player is past his prime, and so is Manu..this is a superstar/star's league..

Stupid and uninformed comment.

Hmm, same avatar as SD21, posts as stupidly as he does...

[lefty]

I've officially created the MPA


Mean Paint Association


TD Blair Dice Ratliff

[Spursox]

("Even with their new additions, the Spurs are nothing but first-round fodder if Ginobili isn’t on the court.")

Who cares what TD's weight is now or TP's injury.....according to Pop, our whole season is up Manu....That sucks!

why ? Dice is listed at 245, basically the same weight as Tim right now.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

To me Timmy's new build reminds me of the 1999-2003 Duncan physique. He didn't get pushed around much then.

If he spent the summer strengthening his legs and losing 15 pounds of fat he's going to be a force!

I'm soooo excited for the season to start!

[Demo Dick Marcinko]

At 240, I bet he lost a lot of fat weight and gained a lot of muscle weight so he's probably much stronger than in years past. Timmy's got great footwork so no I don't think he'll get pushed around as easily as one might think.

[ohmwrecker]

Where are you getting that Jefferson is a better defender? This is a common theme I keep seeing, and thanks to people actually starting to keep track of more defensive stats... I can prove it to be wrong. Last season the Bucks gave up 5 more points per game when Jefferson was on the floor as opposed to off of it.

True enough, but Milwaukee was a poor defensive team all around and more of an offensive team anyway, whereas, Frank is a big on D and it's a big part of the Nets system.

Remember, when Jefferson played on the Nets he was a pretty damn good defender.

he looks GOOD! Yum-Yum!!!

[spursfan #20]

Timmy is going to be way more agile in the post, theres no way he going to be pushed around he got Stronger. And what the is that photo shoot for?

[Popo>Phil]

I guess this does belong here. I didn't want to hijack the thread with it, but there's a lot of conversation about his weight.

This was taken last week.

I'd believe it's photoshoped...

[TDomination]

I'd believe it's photoshoped...

lol, I actually thought it was photoshopped.

Dang, he is thin.

[duncan228]

What I've found from the Selena Gomez side of that pic is it's not photoshopped. She's a long time big fan of Duncan and had the opportunity to meet him.

I'm not positive yet, but it sounds legit so far.

I wasn't going to post the pic until I had more detail, but it was the most current I had for the weight loss conversation. I'm still gathering info about it. I'll update it in the Duncan Forum when I have more.
