Tim Duncan has been playing for the San Antonio Spurs sincde 1997. Some believe that this may be his last season with the team. Duncan has became the third highest paid player in the NBA behind Kobe Bryant last season. But now, according to Yahoo! Sports, he will be fourth in the new season with a massive pay cut “from $21.16 million in 2011-12 to $9.65 million in 2012-13.”
