Will retire from NBA
Duncan announced Monday that he would retire from professional basketball.
ANALYSIS
As was widely expected, Duncan will call it quits after a 19-year NBA career that will certainly end with a spot in the Hall of Fame. He averaged 19.0 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 blocks per game for his career, earning 15 All-NBA nods, 15 All-Defensive team honors -- the most in league history -- and 15 All-Star appearances. The two-time NBA MVP and three-time NBA Finals MVP also joined Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only player in NBA history to record at least 26,000 points, 15,000 rebounds and 3,000 blocks in a career, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest big men to ever play the game. With Duncan leaving the Spurs, free-agent signee Pau Gasol is set to step in as the team's starting center. The Spurs are still obligated to pay $6.39 million to Duncan after he exercised his player option for the 2016-17 season prior to the beginning of free agency, but he'll be officially waived off the roster following the retirement announcement.

Every offseason, it seems like Duncan is on the verge of retiring, but then he decides to return and keeps producing at an All-NBA level for another season. The 39-year-old averaged 13.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 0.8 steals in 29 minutes per game through 77 games in 2014-15. While almost averaging a double-double at 39 is astounding, Duncan backs his production up with an efficient 51 percent from the field and a respectable 74 percent from the free-throw line. Now that the Spurs have acquired some high-level talent to add depth in the frontcourt with David West and LaMarcus Aldridge, it's likely that Duncan's minutes will be tactfully distributed to help the Big Fundamental ease into a role that may be even further reduced, not of neccesscity, but out of wealth. The Spurs have so much depth in the frontcourt that they could essentially put Duncan in stasis for half the season and thaw him out to bring the ruckus in the playoffs. Duncan will most likely play no more than 30 minutes per game under coach Gregg Popovich this season, and with the added depth, it's possible that Duncan will play much less this season, but we seem to think that he'll fall off a cliff every season, and Duncan finds a way to soar. Fantasy managers love the idea of drafting sleepers and fresh-to-deaf rookies with tantilizing production, but if Duncan is sitting there in the middle rounds, and you find yourself saying, "Man, I could use some blocks," then draft him. He's like a fine wine. Don't be afraid to open the bottle.
