Should Tim Duncan Ask for Big Money?

[DMC]

Yall don't think Tim will be a hanger on like David and George? You won't see them at the end of any winning home game out there on the floor acting like they ushered in the winning era of the Spurs (David has a point, George, not so much but still).

Tim is hard to read. He might go back to the islands and wax other men's surfboards all summer.

He wants another le so I doubt he goes for the big greenbacks, realistically him and the FO will meet somewhere in the middle which suits both parties. Tim doesn't get enough credit for being a solid and noble individual. "Til the wheels fall off"

He'll seek a balance. He should get more than the veteran min, but he won't get paid what he is worth.

I like that strategy.


Old School, where did you get those photos in your sig? Those are great.

Thanks...they were taken at a Spurs banquet. I can't even remember where it was, it was so long ago. My dad worked for this couple who were part of the original investors in the Spurs. It was great because they gave my dad their box seats (Hemisfair Arena) all the time and invited him to numerous Spurs events. Of course, he had to take his son.

I believe it was after the 82-83 season. (cheated and looked at the roster) James Silas (2nd photo) was already retired, but all the others were on the active roster.

I don't see Tim hanging around for consultant chump change after he retires. He will be banging Vanessa Macias on a beach somewhere.

On his consulting or scouting vacations or location

no

Tim has taken less but it's not like he's played for peanuts. He has received max money most of his career. Tims salary can absolutely directly impact the Spurs chances of being a contender.

But he can make whatever he wants & no one should expect him to take less. That doesn't change the reality though that his contract directly impacts the Spurs chances.

Does this same standard apply for a certain unnamed Laker? Be honest.

Yes. Just don't pretend you're about winning if you take the money.

The last thing Tim Duncan needs is advice from anyone on spurstalk.com.

with parker's contract, no way should he take a pay cut
