Ginobili out Tonight, Possibly Longer

[anakha]

No I can't do anything right with you guys, so why bother anymore.

Hey, I got no problem with your opinions, even if I disagree with some of them. That's part of this forum, after all.

I just don't see the need to pass off speculation as fact.

[DPG21920]

Yeah, I wish it was that.

Why do you and Timvp keep posting things like this? Do you know something?

[DPG21920]

?

[xtremesteven33]

If Manu were to get traded it would have to be an offer that Pop COULD NOT refuse.

I was listening to the Chris Duel radio show and i overheard some speculation that Manu and some other Spurs players could be traded to the Suns for O'Neal and J-Rich....


these rumors are getting out of hand.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Manu on the Suns? ST would have a meltdown :lmao

[Kori Ellis]

I have heard a lot of things today. Some things more believable than others. If I could tell you something concrete, I would. Everyone is just going to have to wait this one out and hope for the best.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

That's CIA for 'Manu is gone'

I don't know if you can say but hope for the best about the injury or hope for the best he won't be traded

[DPG21920]

worst case scenario would be nice...

[Kori Ellis]

I don't know if you can say but hope for the best about the injury or hope for the best he won't be traded

Injury.

[stéphane]

They just can't trade Manu in the middle of the season...
You think Tim, Tony and Pop would let him go like that? There's so much chemistry and experience and what can you get for the same price?
That's BS and I don't even want to consider or think about him being traded.
Manu has to retire as a spur.

[Spurs Brazil]

Injury.

Thanks. Great news it's not a trade.


As you said before let's hope for the best

[DPG21920]

He is not going to be traded. I have outlined why it would be hard for him to be traded. This has to be about injury, which is absolutely terrible. But the Spurs knew, the NBA knew and we knew that this season hinged on Manu's health.

It was a gamble. Hopefully he gets well soon.

[Kori Ellis]

Thanks. Great news it's not a trade.


As you said before let's hope for the best

Regarding trades, there's lots and lots of rumors. But let's get real, it would take a lot for the Spurs to give up Manu.

[Capt Bringdown]

If all our hopes ride on the increasing fragility of Manu...

WTF is he seriously hurt?

I hope Manu is alright.

[Spurs Brazil]

I was worried about a trade because this injury came out of nowhere

[DAF86]

I can't fucking bealive this!

If he's seriously injured the Spurs should trade him for Camby, Sheed, Kaman, Brand, Miller or any above average big and go for Carter and/or Salmons.

But it would never be the same.

[igruex]

/me praying

:depressed

[urunobili]

Thanks Kori... GWS Manu!

[stéphane]

If he's seriously injured the Spurs should trade him for Camby, Sheed, Kaman, Brand, Miller or any above average big and go for Carter and/or Salmons.

Hum NO.

[Russ]

This "injury" sounds like balony --just an excuse to give Ginobili an extended All Star break rest. :)

[Slinkyman]

Why would anyone trade for an injured player? why do people keep thinking this might happen?

[DAF86]

Hum NO.

Bealive me the thought of it hurts me more than it hurts you but if he's seriusly injured, ONLY if he's seriously injured, that would be the smartest thing to do.

[crc21209]

I hope to god Manu is not seriously injured...he cant be...he'll be fine. We need him for the stretch run and to grab number 5.

[xtremesteven33]

I know someone who works for the Spurs media and he tells me that Manus sore ankle is legit.

[raspsa]

Surprising news.. whay I read was Manu was looking forward to the all-star brek to get some rest then get some training done like lifting weights and stuff. Do we even know w/c foot it is?

[DPG21920]

Right foot.

[Slinkyman]

I can't fucking bealive this!

You want to trade for elton brand? really? REALLY? you realize he's out for the season right? BTW we could get Brad Miller without giving up Manu, expiring contracts gets you Brad Miller.

[Slinkyman]

[DAF86]

Why would anyone trade for an injured player? why do people keep thinking this might happen?

'Cause the Spurs could win a championship now. For teams that have a good roster but aren't elite team yet and are missing just one or two quality pieces to become one next year Manu would be a great adittion.

[DPG21920]

Well if Manu is really hurt, than you can probably put an end to any trades involving Mason, which rules out a lot of trading partners.

[TMTTRIO]

well what worries me is that it said he was going to get treatment on it during AS Break. If the treatment hasn't worked at all there's got to be something going on :(.

[urunobili]

If he's seriously injured the Spurs should trade him for Camby, Sheed, Kaman, Brand, Miller or any above average big and go for Carter and/or Salmons.

you should change your nick to LSD86...

[raspsa]

Right foot

At least it's not the foot that got operated on in the off-season. Not much of a consolation because he still can't play. Ihope the Spurs rest him aslong as necessary and even longer if possible. Mason, Hill, Hairston and co. could benefit from the PT..

[DAF86]

You want to trade for elton brand? really? REALLY? you realize he's out for the season right? BTW we could get Brad Miller without giving up Manu, expiring contracts gets you Brad Miller.

No, I didn't know Brand was out for the season. I knew he was injured but not so bad. Expiring contracts can get you Miller but not if you use them in Carter. Anyway I would first try to land Rasheed, Camby, Kaman or maybe David Lee.

But let me clarify again, ONLY if Manu is seriously injured= Out for the season or just back for the playoffs 'cause he wouldn't be 100% for them.

[wisnub]

I wonder if he has the same problem in that ankle that he had in his left ankle? If so, the Spurs can say goodbye to any playoff aspirations.

Honestly without Manu, Spurs definitely is still on playoff, but I just dont know if Spurs can get to the Final without Manu. Its not like Blazers which even with full lineup still questionable on playoffs,it they can make it or not...

[Russ]

Honestly without Manu, Spurs definitely is still on playoff, but I just dont know if Spurs can get to the Final without Manu. ...

[duncan228]

From Joe Alexander's game blog (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/2009/02/spurs-vs-knicks-game-chat.html). "Reportedly"?


Manu Ginobili did not play and was not with the team, reportedly due to a sore ankle.

[TDMVPDPOY]

ginoboli trying to pull a duncan playing on 2 bumb ankles, sit the fuck down and take ur rest.....

[phyzik]

Well, I didnt read the whole thread but it seems its already been discussed that this could be an indication of a trade. Up front, let me just say I doubt it, but the timing of this is highly questionable.

Reports say the injury was before the all-star break, chances are they just figured it was a non-issue and it would be healed up after a week but ended up being wrong,. That begs the question though of if they knew about it why not take every precaution and have it checked out at the begining of the break? It's puzzling to me that they would wait until now to check it out.

On top of that, I heard on ESPN radio that the Spurs where questioned at the airport on why Manu wasnt boarding the plane and the response at the time was "he will be flying out on a later flight to meet us in NY." No mention of injury. Again, maybe they thought it was nothing but after the check-up the doctor advised against playing and he stayed back.

Still, it just sounds wierd.

I dont want to trade Manu, not even for Kobe, but thats my heart speaking and not my head (either of them). Truth is Manu is eventually going to break down, the cold business fact is you get what you can while the value is high.

Still. I hope its a non-issue and was just a bad communication and bad timing by the Spurs to the media. shit happens.

Anyway, rest up that ankle Manu.

[Ice009]

I'd say Manu has a legit injury. I hope he is OK.

[SequSpur]

Manu can't play again? WTF? Come on.... The Spurs lost to the Knicks? Come on... Dude, this team isn't very good... Come on????!!!!!

It would really take a fantastic offer from another team for Pop to trade Manu.

They kind of talked about it on ESPN radio with Jay Howard. Im in the boat with Jay that this is probably a non-issue as far as a trade but what they talked about WAS intruiging. Manu plus a few others for Rasheed and Prince. THAT I could deal with.

I honestly dont see how either team loses in that trade. We get our big plus an excelent defender.

Detroit gets to play Manu and AI together, they get a servicable big man in KT and an expiring contract in Finley for 2010.

[phyzik]

Wow these trade proposals are getting crazy.

Yeah, they are. :lol

Again, like I said, I seriously doubt we get rid of manu, its just fun to talk about. :downspin:

It's been said before, its a good thing fans aren't running the teams. Hell, just look what happened to Dallas with a fan owning them.

Fuck that, even getting rid of Fin doesn't make that a worthwhile trade, but damn, Hairston getting more minutes, plus a TP, Mason, Prince, Timmy, and Rasheed starting line sounds fantastic.

[HarlemHeat37]

if we got Prince and Rasheed for Manu, I wouldn't even think twice..I love Manu, but I'm for the logo on the front, not the name on the back of the jersey..

Prince
Wallace
Duncan

would be an absolutely disgusting frontcourt on both sides of the floor, especially defensively..

[NRHector]

The Spurs can not trade Manu, he is the spark of the bench fuck he is the heart and soul of the team. Manu is been to hell and back with this team, I just can not imagine this team without Manu or Manu wearing another jersey
:flag:

[phyzik]

Fuck that, even getting rid of Fin doesn't make that a worthwhile trade, but damn, Hairston getting more minutes, plus a TP, Mason, Prince, Timmy, and Rasheed starting line sounds fantastic.

As far as a business stand point, it makes sense.

As a fan, I dont like the prospect of getting rid of Manu.

If my hypothetical trade did occur, the Spurs only add about 3mil to their Cap room. We are currently around 10mil under so its not that big of a hit cap wise, leaving us with room to pick up a servicable guy in 2010. Nevermind the fact that we are trading to the Eastern conference and not a western conference rival. Add to that fact that we are getting some good guys and business wise it does make a ton of sense.

Look at it objectively or from the view point of other teams in the West. They would shit out their rectum if it happened. Hell, even the East would throw their hands up in disgust and defeat. Lets face it, The spurs are NOT going to get a D.Wade or Lebron type player in 2010. With a trade like that, we would put some MAJOR fear in the rest of the league.

Still, Manu is a big part of this team, I dont know how well it would go over with us Spurs fans here in S.A. Timmy is the man but San Antonio has a hard-on for Manu. I dont think it would go over too well with the fan base we got.

Then again, I think Im kind of wasting my time discussing this with a guy who obviously is a huge fan of Manu. I dont want to see him go either, but if it betters the team.... Thanks for the great years Manu. I'm positive he would always get a warm welcome in San Antonio for which ever team he plays for... except maybe the Lakers.

[Austin_Toros]

but if we had Vince Carter...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Then we'd substitute the word "knee" for "ankle".

[Slippy]

All that's been reported is that it's soreness that's taking longer to go away and not his repaired one. That to me suggests it's out of pre-caution, allowing him some extra rest. Manu's been playing all out lately so it makes sense to take that approach for the rest of the season. The attention Pop got for resting guys earlier would explain the details we getting or the lack of. Maybe im hoping for the best. Just can't see a mid-season trade happening for a big piece such as Manu.. Maybe role players.

Either way IF Manu's out, Vince Carter on the Spurs does not make them contenders this season just keeps them competitive.

The trade works, but unless Memphis want to show they are not biased by helping the Lakers out I don't see why they would do it.

Just for kicks they can do this trade and then buyout Manu and we resign him. Then we can sign Rasheed too next off season.

Come on Grizz kids do the trade.

[Ice009]

yeh it would certainly produce a team that could win now and in the future

Parker/Mayo/Gay/Duncan/Gasol :wow

plus those three are on rookie contracts so you can sign Rasheed too.

we would still have mason,hariston,gist,splitter.....still a young team. it would be starting over

[Chomag]

Man, I know I'm going to be flamed for this but...

It might be better for the spurs to trade Manu now while he has value. Like everyone else I would really hate to see him go but because of the type of game he plays, he most likely doesn't have much left. He may still have the gas in the tank, but his parts are breaking down. If not next season or earlier. I think you will start to see him as a jump shooter like Finley. Remember that finely used to be a high flying slasher at one point. If his game doesn't change to that he might have to have very limited minutes to keep his body from breaking down.

Just a thought of mine, I know the heart might say "NO" But trading is the business side of the game and if it could better the Team then it might be the right decision.

[Bartleby]

The problem with trading Manu is the difficulty of getting anything close to equal value in return because other teams also know about his injuries and will try to lowball the Spurs. His value is to teams who want to win it all right now, not teams in the middle of rebuilding projects, like the Grizzlies.

So, if Manu is too injured to play, the Spurs won't really get anything for him, and if he is healthy it makes no sense to trade him b/c it would be nearly impossible to get a player who brings to the Spurs (or another contender) what Manu can bring during the playoffs.

[2Cleva]

Why all this trade talk instead of waiting for more insight from Kori?

[stxspurs]

cuz i dont like waiting!!!!!!!.

[Bruno]

Whatever is Manu's injury and the time he will be off, I hope Spurs will communicate on it quickly.
Not knowing what exactly happens really sucks for fans. I remembered the waiting last year when Duncan sprained his knee.

Exactly! Do we really want to base the success of our seasons off of Manu's health for the rest of his career? Thats a very fine thread to live or die by IMO.

Honestly, I'm hoping that I'm completely wrong and Manu stays healthy untill he is ready to call it quits, but it's just how I'm seeing it at this point.

The San Antonio Spurs’ delay to release any specific information about Manu Ginobili’s right ankle injury has led some opposing GMs to speculate that the injury could be serious. Delaying the announcement until after the Thursday trade deadline would help keep the Spurs from losing any leverage in their ongoing talks.

Spurs officials announced only that Ginobili won’t join them on their road trip and their medical staff continues to study test results on Ginobili’s ankle.

In addition to pursuing Sacramento King’s swingman John Salmons and the New Jersey Nets’ Vince Carter, the Spurs expressed interest in Milwaukee Bucks forward Richard Jefferson while acknowledging there’s little chance of landing Jefferson.

Bruce Bowen has offered in nearly every trade discussion because he’s guaranteed only $2 million next season. Center Fabricio Oberto also has a partial guarantee of $1.9 million next season.

The Spurs didn’t announce Ginobili wasn’t accompanying them on their trip until Monday when they were already in New York. Though Ginobili scored 32 points in a loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Spurs’ final game before the All-Star break, team officials say he had been experiencing pain in his right ankle for a while.

:bang

That's why I asked in the other thread why the Spurs even announced the injury in the first place. They could tell a little white lie that he was attending personal matters or would join the team in Detroit or whatever.

Instead they're being secretive about the injury and if GM's find out that he could be out for a while they'll know the Spurs will be desperate for help.

[manufor3]

manu needs to stay. he is very valuable. remember how bad we did without him in the first 4 games? we need him.

[crc21209]

Don Harris on 1250 The Zone with Chris Duel and Don is saying he spoke to Spurs representatives and that Manu WILL NOT join the Spurs on the rest of the rodeo road trip and Don said "Wow that must not be good" and whoever he was talking to responded "Nope."

[crc21209]

Don is saying....what if the Spurs are not announcing how hurt Manu is so they dont lose their trade leverage....or....that the Spurs are letting out that Manu is injured more than he is to ease the San Antonio public and media into an idea for VC.

[Chomag]

Man, this dosn't look good. I have been wondering why deals such as VC, salmons, and RJ were even being considered knowing it was a big that we needed to be complete. This is looking more like the spurs front office allready knew something that we didn't.

I so hope that this isn't turning out the way it is looking like it's going to.

[crc21209]

Don also said that the Spurs HAVE had talks with the Bucks about RJ, and the Spurs are letting the league know they are in the market for a perimeter player.

That's the weird thing. He had a couple of 30 point games right before the AS Break and he looked pretty good. I don't see how all of a sudden it's gotten this serious unless it's the same thing that happened with his left ankle and he's been hiding it.

[Bruno]

Playoffs start in two months, so the situation is quite simple.
If Manu is out 2 months of less, this injury isn't a big deal.
If Manu is out more than 2 months, Spurs are finished for this year.

[SpursPreacher]

I think manu just needs rest let him recover while were on the road.

[spursfan09]

ok just been reading from afar, but wtf? This makes no sense. What freaken play did Manu get hurt on?

[Brazil]

All the threads are full of jinx... :(

[crc21209]

But if it was the same thing as his other ankle he wouldve looked like he did in the LA series, like complete crap! But he hasnt looked like that, Hes been producing! Hes been slashing to the basket, knocking down 3 pt shots, hustling, everything, so I do not think this damn "injury" is that serious, it cant be.

shit my sources telling me Manu MIGHT be out for the season :(

That's been the rumor since yesterday afternoon. I'm not sure what to think of it because everyone is saying MIGHT.

This cant be fucking true! I mean he looked incredible in the games prior to the all-star game! How can he be so hurt that hes out for the year?

That means your part of the ungrateful forum.

Hey, I'm greatful and really appreciate all Manu has done for us, but this is a business and I want the Spurs to continue to win a few more Championships before Duncan's game deteriorates.

Ginobili is a shell of his former selft and I'm more about the team than I am about Manu, unlike a lot of people on this forum.

Another NBA team though may not have the info the Spurs Front Office have, only the Spurs FO and anyone WITHIN the Spurs organization knows whats up with Manu, other NBA GM's are only speculating at this point. At this point the Spurs could be pulling a fast one on us.

Might be out for the season with what? It's the other ankle. That much we know right? It can't be a sprain because that wouldn't put him out more than 6-8 weeks. Same for a break, unless he just shattered it (which I think we would've noticed). So he must have tore something and not noticed it. Could he have a partially torn achilles?

I suppose the current mortal must wait till tomorrow.. it's so unfair:lol

[loveforthegame]

It's possible his ankle injury (unless it's something else we don't know about) will not get better with treatment and rest. So they do surgery now which will end his season.

How and the fuck can Manu be hurt he looked good last week and he had like 4 days off during the allstar break this doesnt make no sense, This shit is getting really weird. :bang
