08:11 AM ET 05.02 | It is now, officially, the offseason for the Spurs. With a potential lockout looming in July, it could be a long time before the team reconvenes to start the 2011-12 campaign. ... Will Tim Duncan be back? Spurs coach Gregg Popovich fielded this question at Saturday's year-end meeting with the media. "I don't see why he wouldn't," Popovich said. Duncan, 35, is still under contract next season, and so long as the lockout doesn't obliterate all 82 games in 2011-12, he can be expected to put off the Hall of Fame for at least one more year. It's a longshot, but Duncan could trigger an early-termination option in his contract and renegotiate a longer-term deal starting at a smaller price tag. That would give the Spurs better payroll flexibility to upgrade the supporting cast.

Hell at 35 and seeing him get his ass kicked that bad this playoffs he might not want to stick around much longer....Not good but Im sure its Pops fault for him aging and not being the player he once was.....

Spurs are over the cap, if they sign Prince they must execute a s&t with Detroit. Who would they give up?

They need to get rid of Jefferson. I thought he was already fishing some bass when the other Spurs were still playing Memphis

It's Prince's decision, ultimately. Why should he choose the Spurs over Dallas, LA, Portland, etc?

S.A. is a solid NBA organization.

Two thoughts:
1.) Some team will likely offer Prince a little more than the MLE
2.) the MLE may not exist any longer
