In his defense, nobody else has had any luck, either.
I'd absolutely go with Durant. He's in his prime of his career at 26 years old. The guy can do anything you want except tell Westbrook to shop shooting the ball.

Antetokounmpo sucks. It's hilarious seeing Bucks fans trying to polish that turd constantly.
Don't forget that with Duncan you get a guaranteed 50+ season wins and a deep playoff run. Can Davis say the same? Nope.
Down with ESPN!
. He's young Duncan. Not as great, but really close.
If they offered Davis for Duncan straight up? You don't think the Spurs would do it?
You beat me to it!
I would pick Durant because he has found a way to exploit the soft NBA rules/star treatment. Just jump into the defender and then shoot FTs. Hard to beat that tbh.
Even if we ignore Duncans no trade clause, I don't think this would be an obvious yes. In basketball terms it's a no brainer of course, but loyalty is everything to Pop and I'm not sure he could ever trade Timmy. Holt would have to step in and make the deal himself.
This has to be a joke, right? You'd take a totally unproven player over Davis, Durant, and LeBron.
Donnie Nelson is still the Mav's GM.
The correct answer to this question is Davis. How often do healthy dominant TRUE bigmen come along? His game is already looking polished and well-rounded, and he's a defensive monster. Going to lead the league in blocks this year most likely.
Definitely need to find out who they are see what assets they have and send Ayres and DAye.
I would take Lebron and win atleast 2 championships in the next 5 years.
Picking Timmy over Lebron/KD/AD at his age is just stupid tbh, in the Spurs point of view of course it's hard to say because TD is and has always been the cornerstone but starting a franchise anew I don't know how you come up with Duncan over those three.
I wouldn't pick Lebron tbh
Davis or Durant would be my choice we're talking about a player from now on. But if we're talking about a player considering his career/prime, I would take Duncan quite comfortably.
I like the case Bill Simmons made for the two best career players in NBA history. He said if you were starting a fantasy draft tomorrow of all players at the beginning of their career and you wanted to make the biggest, longest impact on your team, you would take Kareem at #1 and Duncan at #2. That's pretty ing insane praise from a Celtic homer like Simmons.
I wouldnt build my team around a gotty beta who cant palm the balm
lol at anyone who wouldnt pick Duncan. Lebron is just gonna leave your team. Durant is a second banana at best. Davis I can understand tho.
lol at not reading the actual survey question
key word today bruh
Still holds true. No one better than TD to control your locker room much less teach professionalism and a winning culture to your organization. A no nonsense player who won't complain, or be in the media making your team look bad. All he does is win....and oh yeah not to mention 5
I'm sorry but how the can you justify picking a 38 year-old who will likely be out of the league in 2 years max? You can't seriously think you'd get more utility out of 2 years of way-past-his-prime Duncan than you would out of a 26 year-old Durant or someone younger.
If we're assuming everyone is the same age, then of course I'd take Duncan. But at 38 years old? No way in . Duncan's leadership is valuable, but c'mon now.
edit: talking from an objective standpoint btw...so "keeping your franchise player happy" isn't relevant

Is he? He's the President, but their GM quit the night before the season started a couple of years ago, and they didn't replace him. It's probably splitting hairs, as Donnie obviously has that responsibility, even if he doesn't carry the le. I'm sure he filled out the survey if Cuban didn't snake it from his inbox.
I'm positive they would never do it. That would be a slap in the face of everything the Spurs stand for. Trading the guy who made the franchise at the twilight of his career? Not on my Spurs!
did RC not see keyword "today"?
