Spurs repeating?

:roll:

[Meticode]

Spurs repeating?

:roll:
Yes, it's so out of the question considering they were 30 seconds from winning two titles in a row. :oldlol:

Spurs repeating?

:roll:
They have a chance. I mean, they're good every year :confusedshrug:

They pulled a Spurs. What did you expect? :confusedshrug:

Spurs repeating?

:roll:

Honestly I said it for the humor based on the fact they have never done it. This team looks to good though.

[Macho Grande]

They pulled a Spurs. What did you expect? :confusedshrug:

That was the first time they had ever lost a finals series, so that really doesn't make any sense.

I meant they failed at repeating. In any case I was just kidding. The Spurs have a good chance of repeating assuming Mills and Diaw return.


But I wouldnt count on it. 3 straight western conference wins seems unlikely.

So, are we supposed to be outraged that he didn't sign for the minimum to help his team? Or what?

Could have been a THREE-PEAT!

The terms of his contract were already set years ago, and in that contract he did ultimately take less.

Spurs about to repeat

Awesome news, but I doubt anyone is surprised :cheers:

Well, its a bit of stretched premise about paycut. In reality its expected salary drop for 38-39 years old. Even in this context, Duncan is earning way more than a lot of other superstars at the end of their careers.

In comparison, 39 yrs old:

Jordan - 1 mln.
Shaq (38) - 1,3 mln.
Duncan - 10 mln.

Not much of a paycut, isnt? MJ took 30x less than his previous contract, Shaq 15x, Duncan - 2x.

Paycut implies a player could be earning much more (lets say Heat trio), but not when 38-39 yrs old is getting market value at this stage. Duncan is worth it 10 mln, so no complains here, just find it amusing about "paycut" and "sacrifice for the team", since it has nothing to do with reality.

[SCdac]

Ehh , Shaq at Duncan's age was a worse, much fatter player and became a desperate ring chaser.

Duncan in the last 2 years has been the opposite

[Smook A.]

I'd probably take current Duncan over Roy Hibbert 100/10 times.

Fixed it for you :cheers:

[T_L_P]

Shaq still made $20 million in his second-to-last season...

I bet the $1 million the Celtics gave him was his best offer.

Yeah but Shaq was a shell of his former self and that was the real market value for him. If you talk about production, then clearly Shaq was a min level player. Duncan was averaging 19/11/3/2.3/50% in the last year of his previous deal. For his production, it was a paycut. MJ really is not a comparable situation given he had not played in years and was just playing to play.

Good. At least one more year of Duncan and KG in the league.
