When he signs the deal in a few days, the opt-out clause will disappear, and he will be under contact through the 2011-12 season.</p> </p> Duncan will make $22.183 million in the final year of his current contract, but his pay will drop to $18.7 million for the 2010-11 season. The additional money the Spurs will have under the league salary cap in the summer of 2010 will help the club position for a critical free agent summer, when some high-profile players, led by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, will be available on the open market. -- <font color="#000000">San Antonio Express-News</font></p></div></div>
