How has san antonio held on to tim duncan for so long?

Tim Duncan isn't a prima donna like a lot of other NBA players.

I have been praying to god all day it does.

He is the exception to the rule. If you remember he stayed in school for all 4 years even when he would have gone number 1 after his junior year. I heard on Monday that he wasn't going to seek free agency and wanted to retire a Spur. How many guys aspire to play for 1 franchise their whole career and retire for them even if they could make more money elsewhere??

He won't make more money anywhere else, so that point isn't valid. True, he's a rare player, but he can't make more money elsewhere.

I'll definitely be tuning in and hoping the B'cats get the #1 pick. The NBA is retarded for having a draft lottery. It serves no purpose except to keep the worst teams on the bottom.

Lebron could have left sooner than he did. He stayed in Cleveland from 2003 to 2010.

Why did he leave?? Because they didn't build a championship caliber team around him. Why not?? Didn't have the money to lure top players to surround him. Why?? Small market team.

The Bobcats are just a couple of lottery picks away from becoming a good team. Jordan just has to draft well like young teams like OKC and others did. I heard from a lot of people that they feel Brady Beal SG from Flordia will become the best player in this draft.

How would you know given he has never tested the waters??

[TruCatzFan]

Better pray hard. The #1 pick hasn't gone to the worst team in 8 years! Orlando Magic were the last to "win the lottery"

It would be a sick duo to build around... Davis and Kemba... Eeeewwwww!!!!

[La Pantera]

Doesn't matter if you're a small market or not...its about,wins and competing for championships. The biggest thing will be changing the coaching and managment atmosphere.

I'm not disagreeing with that point, I'm disagreeing with your comment that he left as soon as he could. He gave the Cav's front office a fair chance to surround him with a championship team.

Sure he can. If he left for New York years ago, he would be making millions more. Maybe not in his NBA contract but in endorsements alone. But he's satisfied where he is and in the organization, he doesn't need all of that.

Agree. it should be like the NFL. The worst team gets top pick and so forth down the line. The idea that the team that just missed the playoffs could get the top pick in the draft is stupid.....

Because the NBA is set up so that the player's current team can make him the best offer. Seriously try to make just one valid comment. You look silly.
