Comments on: Tim Duncan not going to opt out, Spurs not offering extension http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/28/tim-duncan-not-going-to-opt-out-spurs-not-offering-extension/ Basketball - NBC Sports Thu, 23 May 2013 08:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: goforthanddie http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/28/tim-duncan-not-going-to-opt-out-spurs-not-offering-extension/comment-page-1/#comment-48666 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 02:04:23 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=27120#comment-48666 If you’re suggesting the Spurs are looking to trade Duncan…no, they’re not. No one’s untradeable, but considering what he means/has meant to them, he’s not going anywhere. Plus he’s still serviceable, and you’re not getting 21mil worth back for him.

He is 35, has 4 rings and the Spurs are getting old.

What does he have to prove?
He does not need to chase a ring out of desperation and I can’t see him playing for another team.

They are an older team, and I think the Spurs are looking to get younger and lessen the money on their payroll in order to sign 2 or 3 players of decent skill rather than keep paying top dollar for an “old dog.”

He will resign next season. I thought he deserved Jason Kidd type contract under the current CBA. $9 million a year.
