    Better hope the Lakers don't grab him throwing Sessions and Gasol their way.....

    I highly doubt Popovich wants anything to do with Gasol.

    Duncan has already said he's going to re-sign with the Spurs.

    Actually he said he was "a Spur for life". Which is totally consistent with him retiring.

    I disagree. Gasol is EXACTLY the kind of player Pop would like. People act like Gasol is a big wuss but he's not. He's the best post player in basketball and his defense is pretty damn solid. He was just totally frozen out of that "offense" in LA. I think Pop would LOVE to get Gasol. It would be no downgrade from Duncan (as he is now).

    Well he's a serviceable 7 footer too and Timmy is getting old. 7 footers with skill don't grow off trees as Blazers fans know with Oden. Further if they trade Parker they'll need a PG.

    I heard in an interview that he's not going to even look at other teams for offers this off season, he'll only negotiate with the Spurs because he's a Spur for life.

    Bet you a beer he doesn't retire.

    If they brought in Gasol and had Timmy it would extend Timmy's life another two years in the NBA.....

    living down here Duncan is expected to sign another deal for 2-3 more years, then most likely retire. as SPD said, he's not interested in even talking to other teams. Doubt they blow this team up by trading #5 vote getter in the race for MVP this season.

    He may be expected to sign it but would it really be that surprising if he retired at the end of the year? Retiring quietly before a big decline kind of like the franchise player before him kind of fits.

    Of course they are looking for a high pick.

    The Spurs management are top-notch.

    However...

    Parker is 30 but he's an old 30. A LOT of milage on that body. Like Kobe, he has played heavy minutes since the age of 19.

    An easy pass IMO.
