[HARLEM AL]

I hate the spurs but I can't do nothing but respect that man.

Tim da Gawd

an tx got no taxes nikkas will slurp off tim but get mad at bron

If I were Tim, I would ask to get that 80% clause like Kobe got, so most of his money would be state tax free. Otherwise, he'd have to pay the jock tax in cities that have it, which sucks. Only Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Washington and the District of Columbia don't have the tax

I totally forgot about the income tax in Texas

Wasn't he was considering retirement at the end of this season? Act like a 38yo players doesn't only have like 1-2 years of basketball left brehs.
Compare a plyer in his 17th season in the lague taking a paycut to help his team continue forward to prime all stars taking paycuts to leave their teams and join forces brehs
Be a hypocrite brehs

Media speculation. He shot it down. He's repeated that he'd keep playing for as long as he's healthy and effective.

Pat Riley has compared Duncan to Kareem in how they both aged and Kareem played nto his 40s

You must be referring to Kobe..... I dont think Duncan is going to retire until he gets ring number 7

 

[Piff Perkins]

I'd imagine Tim will also get a job in the organization after retiring, further increasing his cash. He'll be fine.

But this is the type of selfless move that endears players to a city, state, fanbase, etc. And think about the example he's setting for Leonard.

if timmy wasn't married and dating the woman he with now, i'll label him the derek jeter of the NBA

meanwhile in LA....

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

Tobe

And 5 rings.

Learn, Melo.

He made $21 million in salary alone in 2012

its easier to build when a player like Duncan is making 10 mill or less . Imagine who the lakers would have gotten if kobe would have only taken 10 mil

@FAH1223 Check your facts breh.

@MsBigHead That's the whole point. Kobe's greedy ass doesn't give two shyts about building a team around him. Dude could have easily signed for ~$10 mil a year as Duncan has done for the past few seasons (and will continue to do). He already has more money than he could spend in 3 lifetimes even excluding his NBA earnings, and yet he insists on taking up 40% of his squad's salary cap on an annual basis. It's absurd.

Kobe and Melo will never go down this road.

 

[RugbyCardigan]

Not like he opted out to take a paycut and hop on the OKC Thunder to play with Durant & Sabo.

This is the house he built

Alright chill with that shyt. He has always had an elite coach and good talent around him.

 

[I.V.]

just pointing out the coli hypocrites before i leave

Take this neg with you on your way out.

 

[RugbyCardigan]

Imagine if the lebron decided to take only 10 mil.

I bet this thread would have a different tone

 

[Primetime21]

bu but the the GM is supposed to make it work

Like I was the one dragging Bron into this thread, you "HEAT stans" did, but that's none of my business :frogg:

 

[RugbyCardigan]

Take this neg with you on your way out.

You negging him just proves him right and that you're a bytch nikka.

So while he's taking the neg....take this L.
