IF SPURS BUILD IT, WILL DUNCAN STAY IN SAN ANTONIO?

          ESPN.com's David Aldridge wrote that the Spurs "get the
     message" that F/C Tim Duncan, who will be a free agent after
     next season, "would like a new arena."  Spurs Chair Peter
     Holt: "If it was up to me, I'd sign Tim tomorrow.  I
     understand Tim's issue.  It's our issue. ... It's hard for
     the voters in San Antonio to understand why we need a new
     facility.  Why build this for a bunch of basketball
     millionaires?  We've got quite an education ahead of us.  We
     need leadership" (ESPN.com, 6/26).  Duncan, on his future:
     "I love San Antonio.  It's a great place. ... We just have
     to get it [arena deal] done.  I think we will get it done"
     (SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, 6/26).  In Toronto, Frank
     Zicarelli: "The Spurs play out of the Alamodome, a football
     stadium that barely passes as a basketball venue."  Duncan,
     on the city's need for a new arena: "We've given them a good
     reason to keep us there" (TORONTO SUN, 6/27).
