Spurs housekeeping: working toward finaliIng two year deal for Tim Duncan ($5M first year, player option for second year).

Incredible.

TRISTAN is a RFA so he has no leverage at all...

 

[pjdabullsfan]

He said homesexuality is a sin and in "open rebellion against God." I'd say those are pretty anti-gay statements. And I maintain that if someone else made those statements, the consequences likely would have been greater than they were for Broussard.

Not really he's speaking his religion, America has became too politically correct tbh.

Yah, but Lebron said he wasnt gonna sign until they got Tristan's done. Lebron also told Tristan to turn down the extension earlier in the year so he can get more. I guess he threw in the towel lol.

Are you guys really surprised? I've been saying for months that this was the kind of deal he was going to get. Even pre LMA stuff I was saying this. This is not a shock to me at all.

I'm bewildered.

Duncan's about the rings, Kobe's about his ego.

Kobe about that lifetime achievement award contract

The Albino sauce king didn't back down

@mcuban you didn't fly to Houston to text all night, did you?

 

[a-friend]

They should have just left First Take on break until SAS and Skip are back.

Show is def. crap without those 2 acting a fool.

 

[jinkazama]

TRISTAN is a RFA so he has no leverage at all...

Plus they have Verajao and Love...Tristan's good but I think both of those guys are better players if healthy; No need to over pay Tristan.

 

[ill steelo]

Of course not surprised that's the only way they get LMA or any other max free agent

I'm just remarking on how it's still incredible that he's still signing team friendly deals when he can still play at a very high level.

Wade still wants 20+ annually, the Lakers reportedly didn't even consider offering Kobe any less than the 25 mil/year.

Dirk took less but he's fallen off offensively and his defense has fallen from ok to abysmal, so it's not the quite the same as Duncan who can still go on both ends.

 

[shoeking2102]

5 million is silly man.

 

[addict4sneakers]

When the cap jumps up, does Dirk and Duncan sign crazy 1 year Jordan deals?

Of course BET

Will definitely watch though.

Let Duncan take what he wants.

He's about the franchise and winning rings.

Mean while Kobe getting his 30 Millie and you about to see him struggle to win 35 games.

wht about dirk tho?
He did the DUncan but gettin Kobe results

Those Jordan deals were one of the reasons why there was a lockout in 99'

So if you take a deal far below your value that means you care about winning and if you take a deal that's relatively accurate of your value that means you're not?

A bigger disaster waiting to happen than the 2015-16 Sacramento Kings.

It means you're taking below market rate in order to let your team have the best opportunity to sign players who'll help you win. So, yes--Taking less is a function of winning.

How hard is this concept for you idiots to understand? Or is this some typical NT contrarian non-sense?
