San Antonio has been blessed with Tim Duncan, he has brought leadership, wisdom and defense to the spurs for years. He gave his fans championships and a reason to be proud. He showed a Mavs fan like me what happens when a team plays with HEART and TALENT. This guy is awesome, but what happens when he retires? I have heard something about you guys bringing in some guy named Ian Mahinmi, Spurs fans should start thinking about this. As sad as it is for me to see your Dynasty end its inevitable. But what happens after the dynasty? I just hope you guys don't suck cuz i have really enjoyed my Mavs rivalry with the spurs. Good luck to you guys next time they meet my Mavs it should be a fun game as usual.
09/10 off season is when the class of 03 makes there scene on the FM
spurs should either target, wade, lebron, bosh.....
I smell an ES driveby...
you must be mad the cowboys lost and very bored.
He's 32, and his retirement is 3-5 years away. No need to think about it right now.
Duncan is 31. He'll be 32 in April.
ian mahinmi a franchise player?! wow. this mavs fan is dumb.
Sorry, I knew he turned 32 this season but was too lazy to look up when...
Just tank and draft the next Duncan...
I hope u guys will stay here and continue to root for the spurs after it becomes a lottery team. I am a rockets fan ever since the championship years and i have never hop off the Rocketwagon. I stayed with the rockets after the Stockton shot, after the Francis-lottery era, and after the 04-05 debacle season. I hope you guys will do the same. Bandwagoners are bad!
I never said he was going to be a franchise player, maybe you should read my post over cuz it doesn't say anything about ian mahinmi becoming a franchise player. I guess your the one who's dumb for trying to put words in my mouth.......

When Tim retires, Pop retires and then we tank the next season.
F**k You!
Depression.
The bandwagoners will leave, and good riddance. The SFFL (Spurs fans for life), which describes most of the regulars around here I think, will stay.
I certainly am a SFFL. I rode out the disappointment of the 90s, now I'm lapping up the Golden Era, but I'm well aware that we're unlikely to get hit by lightning a THIRD time and that doesn't phase me at all. The Spurs will always be a big part of my life.
That's interesting. do you guys think Pop goes when Tim goes? I think he probably will but i would like to see how Pop does with a Duncan-less team. Also if Pop leaves when Tim does that would make his coaching career a lot shorter than other "great" coaches (Sloan, Nelson,Jackson, Riley). I highly doubt Pop ever coming back to coaching when he decides to leave and if that happens to be when Tim goes it's gonna look like he just rode the Duncan era into the Hall of Fame which honestly would seem kinda cheap IMO so i hope he sticks around after Duncan.
trade for d12 or greg oden
then why single him out? you, like your thread, are dumb.
bring on the hardship
im a spur for life
Pop retires, Parker will have to be begged to stay, the development of guys like Splitter and Mahinmi will be huge. Finding a shooting guard to replace some of the production of Manu, who IMO has 3 to 4 years left will be imperitive.
Personally I try not to think about it. Too depressing
True..It might very well be that he and TD retire on the same day, considering Pop is in his late 50s...He will be in early 60s when Tim retires. Just can not fault Pop..May be 1 or 2 years after Tim's retirement...Pop became head coach very late..
As far as HOF is concerned, I am not sure if Pop would be eligible to apply as Coach as he has to be in Coaching ranks (assistant or head) for 25 years..If he is eligible, he would definitely enter HOF, for not screwing the dynasty.
POP's playoff winning percentage, wins in the playoffs, and overall record will get him in. Also numbers of championships as well.
Knowing him, he would show up for the ceremony, lament how he had zilch to do with anything, and have Budenholzer read the acceptance speach.
I really didn't have the "worst" time during the 90's era. Sure I WONDERED why they couldn't get over the hump, but actually I enjoyed seeing even 'Nique in a Spurs uni. The losing didn't bother me...I took it in stride and knew it wouldn't continue. I do however know that it made the winning all the better.
