I think Tim has every intention of finishing his career with the
Spurs, unless they do decide to trade him. Because Tim is a world
class player I bet he and Pop had a talk a long time ago about how
far he wanted to go with the team. Tim knows that the Spurs have done
ALOT for him, just as he has done for the team. Tim has NEVER won a
championship on his own. No one does (just look at Kobe). SO I think
Tim is a LOYAL team leader and will stay with his team through thick
and thin. Pop, and every other team member, knows that it's about
time they went through some restructuring. The Spurs have been a
contender for a long time and if you have any doubts about Pop's
ability to pick out raw talent and develop it then I ask where you
have been for his entire tenure with the Spurs. No matter what
happens I will support this team. I would not be surprised if they
scrape their way into the finals in the end. If they don't, then
there is always next year.

team needs to spend money to win, especially if they are drawing
blanks on draft day. Drafting guys who are 17 or forgien player who
are never going to be NBA players is not good busniess. Yes they got
Parker and Manu that way, but Manu was a veteran and Parker finally
grew up, though he is still prone to huge mistakes. I do not see the
sense in allowing the whole NBA to beat the hell out of Timmie. He is
a great player who is the greatest player the Spurs have and will
ever have. Top 10 NBA all time.  If they do keep him, he will suffer
the same fate as David. he will get pounded until he no longer can
take it. As far as I am concerned, that is a waste. He deserves
better. And so do we as fans.

great run for the last 10 seasons.  Manu was hurt most of last year
and had to have surgery.  They all knew that coming in to the
season.  Parker has never missed significant time like he is now.

talent, but is making the rookie mistakes we all should expect. 
Mason and Tolliver also need time to learn and adjust to the team. 
The injuries can be a blessing in disguise come the end of the
season.  The rest of the guys are getting quality minutes and
learning.  They are competing in almost every game, but they just
don't have the drive to the basket guys to set up the Bowens and
Bonners.  I honestly think that Mason and Hill will get comfortable
real quick and begin to drive the lane and the offense will improve.

he realizes that this happens sometimes, teams get banged up.  The
Spurs are currently the most banged up team and it is glaring because
you have two all stars sitting on the bench not playing.

the records of some of the other teams like Dallas and LA Clips. 
Those teams are 100% healthy and are sturggling.  They still have a
chance to get back in it.  They can go on a run.  Don't stress, enjoy
the watching the young guns, and stop thinking we have to be like the
Lakers.  Have a little faith.

as Shaq. Problem is Pop has surrounded TD with scrubs and they are
feeling it. Finley should of retired three years ago and also the
Spurs refusal to pay market money for free agents has come full
circle. Duncan, in all his greatness cannot save them. Maybe out of
respect to Tim, they should trade him to a contender if they are not
going to surround him with good, healthy players. If the Spurs are
going to stay cheap, then trade him. Duncan is all class. He doesn't
deserve this.
