EL_PY Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Pau Gasol is great pickup kasi mahina sila sa ilalim. Duncan can sub for Adridge or Gasol.Team still okay. Danny Green should learn to shoot more threes to free kawhi and aldridgeWest retain pa rin nila. Boban will go since walang improvement pag eala syaThey need 1 more shooter sa labas.

Guiness Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Sources: Tim Duncan 'leaning strongly' toward retiringBy Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical July 4, 2016 1:15 PM Yahoo Sports One of the NBA's all-time icons – San Antonio Spurs center Tim Duncan – is leaning strongly toward retirement, a decision that would end an illustrious 19-season NBA career, league sources told The Vertical. Duncan has left team officials, close associates and friends with a strong belief he's preparing to make an announcement in the near future on his departure, sources said. The Spurs reached agreement on a two-year, $30 million-plus deal to sign Pau Gasol, league sources said.Duncan recently elected to exercise the $5.6 million player option on his 2016-17 contract – a payment the Spurs could still make to Duncan regardless of whether he plays or retires. Duncan – a five-time NBA champion, three-time NBA Finals MVP and two-time regular-season MVP – would be remembered as one of the great winners and leaders in NBA history.For his career, Duncan has averaged 19 points and 10.8 rebounds. In 61 games last season, he averaged 8.6 points and 7.3 rebounds in a little more than 25 minutes a night. The Spurs lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in six games in the Western Conference semifinals.Duncan, who has long had trouble with his left knee, was slowed during the season with soreness in his right knee.

Guiness Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Tim Duncan announces his retirement after a 19-year careerBy Yaron Weitzman @YaronWeitzman on Jul 11, 2016, 10:03a One of the greatest careers in basketball history has come to an end. Tim Duncan, a five-time champion, two-time MVP, three-time Finals MVP and 15-time All-Star announced he's retiring on Monday. Duncan's career will be remembered for many things, but his ability to consistently be great is what separates him from nearly every other player who's ever stepped foot on an NBA floor. During the 1997-1998 season, as a 22-year-old rookie, Duncan averaged 19.4 points, 11 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.3 blocks per 36 minutes. His PER was 22.6. As a 39-year-old during the 2014-2015 season he averaged 17.3 points, 11.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.4 blocks per 36 minutes. His PER was 22.6. Duncan never played fewer than 61 games in a season (excluding the 50-game lockout season in 1999) and his team won at least 50 games every year of his career (again, excluding the lockout-shortened '99 season). He, along with Gregg Popovich, transformed the small-market San Antonio Spurs into a powerhouse of a franchise, a team and organization, that every other one in world of professional sports has looked to emulate for years. And it all started with the man known as the Big Fundamental.His game was never flashy, though to true basketball enthusiasts it was more beautiful than anyone else's. The impeccable footwork from the low block. The genius-level understanding of defensive angles and positioning. The automatic bank shot off the glass. And, perhaps most important of all, the ability to lead by example and desire to empower the revered man now commonly referred to as Pop."The truth is we all work for Timmy," Spurs general manager R.C. Buford is fond of saying.That right there tells you all you need to know. Quote Link to comment

bughaw1 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 One more run pa sana. Anyway good luck tim duncan Quote Link to comment
Labuyo Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Timmy's done! *exhales* We did just sign Pau Gasol. Though no longer young by any stretch, the potential of him and LMA sharing time on the same team is pretty fcuking attractive. And now's the time for Kawhi to grow further to hopefully provide a good example for all the new signings and complementary pieces which we've added (looking at you Bertrans). And we've still got Tony AND Manu is back (for probably his last year)! Plus Pop hasn't followed Timmy into the sunset just yet. But yeah, Timmy's gone. Thanks Timmy! Quote Link to comment
