I am not sure the Spurs are a lock for his future services (playing, you are 100% correct). My sincere hope would be TD would return to WFU to coach with his college mates (Larue, Childress). He has seemed to remain somewhat close to the University since graduating. I believe the Psych Dept is still hoping he goes pro in that field as well.
Tim Duncan is all fundamentals. He's like the exact opposite of Howard. Dwight should just be himself and he can dominate by being active and explosive. The only "new skill" he needs is free throws.
IB4: We need LeBron to teach Parson, or we need Bruce Bowen to teach Harden, or Jason Kidd to teach Lin, wait, that one actually almost happened!
I am not going to the tell you Duncan is still playing. I am going to tell you that the ocean that exists between Hakeem and DH in the footwork department exist between TD and DH in the mental toughness & being a leader/team player departments. Hakeem and Duncan are competitors of a different order. Dwight is just a wide,strong, athletic player with little in way of actual basketball skill. He is not the behemoth Shaq was so he cannot really dominate in the same fashion. Shaq with no jumpshot or free throws was such a monster that for roughly 10 years who could rise and dunk the ball on the opponent's entire front line. Dwight can't do that. And at his size he should have had much more offensive game.
Some people don't understand that players can't just transfer their abilities to other players. OMG why doesn't dwight just learn how to shoot free throws from Harden so he can shoot 85% like hiM??
Forget HOF big men -- Dwight needs someone like a Calvin Murphy to teach him how to make free throws in games.
