The San Antonio Spurs may have a secret weapon on their hands if they manage to reach the Finals for the third time in five seasons.

After watching him take part in Monday's shootaround, Danny Green joked that San Antonio could sign Tim Duncan to a one-day deal if the 40-year-old has interest in chasing a sixth ring.

"He’s trying to stay in shape," Green told Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News. "He’s still looking like we could sign him. He could come back for Game 6 in the Finals or something like that and collect a ring, if we make it. If we are up in Game 6, three (games) to two, sign him to a Romo deal."

"It’s always good to see Timmy here," he added. "You could say he lightened the mood."

Duncan officially announced his retirement last July following 19 seasons with San Antonio. The five-time champion sits as the most decorated player in Spurs history, collecting two MVPs, three Finals MVPs, and 15 All-NBA Team honors over his career.
