Re: What if Duncan were to retire after this season?
If Duncan retired after this season that would start a huge chain reaction that would knock the Spurs down pretty hard out West. So many of their roleplayers are older vets chasing rings at the end of their careers, and if Duncan left you can be for damn sure they would get out as fast as they can. Robert Horry, Michael Finley, Brent Barry, and probably Kurt Thomas too, they'd all be looking for another contender to latch onto. That would leave them without any depth really, they'd have to hope to cash in on a lot of those international picks like Splitter and others right away. I'd say they'd be lucky to be a 40 win team out West.
EDIT: And that doesn't even take into account how crippled they would be salary cap wise, Duncan just inked an extension and is owed over 80 million dollars over the next 4 seasons.
