    Not even worth half of that.

    Thanks for taking one for the team Manu....just hit up Men's Wearhouse as you'll need a few suits to be an assistant coach in the NBA.

    $5 million is what, just under 6% of the cap? Manu is definitely worth half of $10 million

    I mean yeah, $10 million might be slightly overpaying him considering he likely won't be as good as he was last year, but it's still not a terrible contract given the current market. Besides, they're using his bird rights to go over the cap to sign him.

    He deserves that like Timmy deserves 6 millions even if he won'T play
    They gave up so much money when they were in their prime for the better of the team, and that's how the Spurs work

    Agreed 100% - both Tim and Manu have given so much and sacrificed more than most players. Now, ask Parker to give up something - "fat" chance.

    6.7ppg, 2.7rpg, 2.5apg, 42.6FG%

    Oh, man.... If Manu won't be as good as THAT.....

    Yep, or a few rookies who want to break into the NBA. Just because this salary cap jumped doesn't mean everyone should be paid more...that's a moronic excuse.

    You want to reward Manu? "Give" him 1% ownership of the team.

    Yeah, Manure sacrificed so much....

    Spurs were paying him $14,000,000 in 2013 when he blew the finals for the team. Some say he's still turning the ball over in Miami.

    Manu carried a 17.9 Player Efficiency last season. He can still play and lead a team that needs additional leadership with Timmy retired.

    Parker took a very team-friendly contract before this one so that the team could keep the Big 3 together. The team took care of him with this contract just like they are taking Manu and just like they waived Tim so that he could be paid the $6 million. Just the Spurs taking care of their players.

    Good for Manu. He's always been a great teammate and player for us.

    I'm good with this. Welcome to the new cap and he has sacrificed in the past. He will be a great guy to have around and can still be effective

    I seem to remember Bruce Bowen getting a nice farewell contract after he was well past his prime as well.

    Slightly overpaid but it's a lockeroom leader/mentor value contract. I think 8M would have been the balanced to keep some of the haters hush in here. But because it got into 7 digits they'll go ape ...

    lol, new cap. Just because the cap is increased doesn't mean player's contracts automatically increase. Absolute stupidity.

    It's quite pathetic that this has to even be explained to people. If he is slightly overpaid this year, who cares. Glad he came back so that we don't have a brain drain all in one season.

    Does it even matter what Manu gets paid because we are over the cap ?

    Again, I'd love this a lot more if it were a $20M/2 deal with that second season being non-guaranteed.

    Too much but since it didn't affect other FA signings I really don't care. Manu deserved every penny he got from San Antonio.

    Congrats Nono btw
