Spurs press conference scheduled for later today???

[degenerate_gambler]

did anyone else catch ksat's sports on their noon news today?

i could've sworn he said that they're having one this afternoon presumably about ginobili's status...

was hard to hear over my kid.....did i hear it wrong?

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, that's probably about Ginobili.

[timvp]

If it's about Manu, I can't imagine that's good news. When do the Spurs ever have a press conference about an injury? I can only remember one and I'm not going to even mention that occurrence.

It's most likely about Ginobili, which kinda scares me because it could be serious. If anything happens as far as trades go, they could possibly discuss that in the press conference, too.

[DBMethos]

Can't be good...

[ManuTP9]

If it's about Manu, I can't imagine that's good news. When do the Spurs ever have a press conference about an injury?







:depressed

please no

[DPG21920]

What time and channel?

[024]

last minute smokescreen?

[1Parker1]

:depressed They NEVER do press conferences for an injury update, it has to be serious.

[degenerate_gambler]

If it's about Manu, I can't imagine that's good news. When do the Spurs ever have a press conference about an injury?:depressed


exactly what the talking heads were saying...

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

nothing to see here, they are just welcoming Carter i bet :lol

[xellos88330]

what time???????

[WalterBenitez]

Do not test my heart health, Manu is trading??:wow

[ducks]

manu is not going to get traded
he is done forever

[Spurs Brazil]

:depressed They NEVER do press conferences for an injury update, it has to be serious.

True,

That's a terrible news

[xtremesteven33]

New Spurs player....







Rasheed Wallace.






:(

[xellos88330]

ok, i am seriously worried now....

[degenerate_gambler]

what time???????


that's another thing....there was no specific time given by the spurs according to larry ramirez, ksat's sports guy.

[loveforthegame]

I don't see why they would need a press conference even if the injury is serious. Just come out and say what's going on.

All this drama seems silly to me.

[ducks]

ok, i am seriously worried now....

why
did you bet your health,job, money on the spurs this year?

[FromWayDowntown]

Maybe it's to announce that they've signed Karl Malone -- or are retiring Sean Elliott's jersey . . . . :)

[timvp]

last minute smokescreen?Hopefully this is the case. Otherwise, I can't imagine a press conference to say Manu is returning after the RRT.

[LockBeard]

The Spurs would like to introduce Manu Ginobili's twin 7' brother who has been hiding in the forests of Brazil training under an ancient big man mentor.

[1Parker1]

^It's Ginobili...if it's a serious season ending injury, they're going to call a Press Conference about it. Wasn't that just what the Rockets staff was complaining about with Tmac? That he came out and made the anouncement himself, instead of going through the proper channels and people learning about it through the media/newspapers.

[024]

I don't see why they would need a press conference even if the injury is serious. Just come out and say what's going on.

All this drama seems silly to me.

or ginobili can be like tmac and just leak it through ESPN. then popovich gets to find out through reading the newspaper.

[timvp]

Maybe it's to announce that they've signed Karl Malone -- or are retiring Sean Elliott's jersey . . . . :):lol

I think that is still one of the longest threads in ST history.

[AA2120]

ok wtf is goin on....

[ducks]

ok wtf is goin on....
a press conference is going on soon

[timvp]

The thing that has me most worried of all is that Manu hasn't said anything to the Arg press or written an article for his site. That's totally out of character.

[ATRAIN]

If they made a big trade I can see a press conf. We arent used to big trades around here hahaha.

[Marcus Bryant]

Perhaps it is to announce a trade. It does take a while for the league to officially stamp deals.

[024]

press conference will be about welcoming back JAMES GIST.

[xellos88330]

why
did you bet your health,job, money on the spurs this year?

I love the Spurs. I don't bet much... only in blackjack.

[xtremesteven33]

A Manu trade?


Damn i hope not.

[Jayem2]

manu, mason, hill, bowen, orberto for VC and LOPEZ!!

[ducks]

press conference will be about welcoming back JAMES GIST.
yes because dunking is the most important thing missing with the spurs

[bigdog]

Perhaps it is to announce a trade. It does take a while for the league to officially stamp deals.

Possibly. The only reason I would see them holding a press conference would be to announce some sort of trade/acquisition, or a serious Manu injury update.

[DPG21920]

Up is now down, Good is now bad and injured is now healthy.

[Marcus Bryant]

A Manu trade?


Damn i hope not.

I strongly doubt the Spurs deal Ginobili.

[degenerate_gambler]

so no one else watched their sportscast at noon and heard it?


fuckers...

[Bruno]

Weird.

I'm tired af speculating so I hope/fear nothing and we will see what will happen today.

[ATRAIN]

press conference will be about welcoming back JAMES WHITE.

Fixed

[Baseline]

It has to be a trade. And most likely it is a bigger trade, because if it's an end-of-the-bench thing, they wouldn't need a press conference.

Hopefully they made a deal with either Detroit (for Sheed), or OK City (for Joe Smith). Both of those GMs know how to keep things on the downlow.

[xtremesteven33]

I strongly doubt the Spurs deal Ginobili.


me too.


Its just that i dont buy the whole "Manu injury" storyline.


It doesnt make sense.

[Galileo]

If it's about Manu, I can't imagine that's good news. When do the Spurs ever have a press conference about an injury? I can only remember one and I'm not going to even mention that occurrence.

How about a press conference about a trade? Or to address trade rumors?

[bigdog]

so no one else watched their sportscast at noon and heard it?


fuckers...

I'd rather not watch the idiots on KSAT. Most of the people on this forum know just about as much as those guys.

[ATRAIN]

FUCK when is this going on I dont live in SA............THIS SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!

[xtremesteven33]

are they going to air it on TV?

what channel?

what time????

[xellos88330]

Pop and RC are holding the press conference to announce this important message...

FUCK THE LAKERS!!! WE BRINGIN IN THE SHEED!!!

[completely deck]

I don't live in SA, will KTKR-AM go live there?

[xellos88330]

Pop and RC are holding the press conference to announce this important message...

FUCK THE LAKERS!!! WE BRINGIN IN THE SHEED!!!

just hoping :D

[loveforthegame]

It has to be about a trade.

There has already been speculation both ways on whether the injury to Ginobli is season ending or not. The Spurs have already commented a little bit about it to the press so why would they need a press conference to announce more on the injury?

[degenerate_gambler]

I'd rather not watch the idiots on KSAT. Most of the people on this forum know just about as much as those guys.


no arguement from me regarding their sports reporting abilities...

i'm just trying to make sure i heard what i thought i heard...otherwise, it's abort thread-time..

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

crap, i know it will end up being something that makes the Spurs better and thus further ruining any chance the Nuggets have :lol

[timvp]

Or to address trade rumors?Spurs never discuss rumors. And the deadline will have passed.

[AA2120]

[ATRAIN]

It has to be a trade!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

I can only remember one and I'm not going to even mention that occurrence.

I remember that one, too.

Would prefer that there be no repeat, for a lot of different reasons.

[timvp]

I remember that one, too.

Would prefer that there be no repeat, for a lot of different reasons.Yeah we just have to pray it's not anywhere close to that level.

[DPG21920]

Well just odd timing with Pop's comments about Manu and the articles "confirming" no season ending injury to Manu...

[xellos88330]

anyone know what time the conference will be?

[ATRAIN]

just hoping :D

SHEED OR VC either way ill have a boner all day.

Is there any way to tune into something for those who don't live in SA?

[TMTTRIO]

The thing that has me most worried of all is that Manu hasn't said anything to the Arg press or written an article for his site. That's totally out of character.

To be fair though he hasn't been as active as he has in the past about writing those articles or even being active on his site like he used to. Although he did break the news that he was having surgery on the ankle after days of no news. Right after he did that the Spurs decided they needed to say it.

[EricB]

Yeah we just have to pray it's not anywhere close to that level.

I believe you still have a picture from that press conference....

[xellos88330]

Maybe it is about the George Hill naked picture thing. A public apology? :lol

Watch that be it.

[dbestpro]

This one is easy. Manu is done for the year anns will require surgery. Now maybe someone would care to try and play some perimeter defense. Parker?

Yeah we just have to pray it's not anywhere close to that level.

im lost.

this has to be the longest day I've ever had as a Spurs fan....wtf!

[xellos88330]

quick question about the trade deadline. when exactly are the trades announced? do they have to be announced at the end of the trade deadline or just be approved by the deadline?

[ATRAIN]

this has to be the longest day i've ever had as a spurs fan....wtf!

no shit!!

[MoSpur]

The last press conference that FWDT and Timvp are talking about was very sad for me. He was my favorite and that hurt a lot. I sure hope its not even close to that. I hope it has to do with trade, but I think if it was a trade, that someone somewhere would have leaked it.

[completely deck]

Pop will be announcing his plans to open "Pop's Wine Shack".

"The San Antonio Spurs are proud to now offer Gregg Popovich's own vino at the AT&T Center" :toast

[DPG21920]

I think they are referring to the Duncan injury.

[crc21209]

I have this feeling it might be for a trade....because the Spurs have never held a conference about a serious injury have they?

[Spursfan092120]

quick question about the trade deadline. when exactly are the trades announced? do they have to be announced at the end of the trade deadline or just be approved by the deadline?
approved

[timvp]

quick question about the trade deadline. when exactly are the trades announced? do they have to be announced at the end of the trade deadline or just be approved by the deadline?
In about one hour we'll know all the trades that were made. You just have to get the paperwork in to the league in ten more minutes ... but it takes a while for the news to trickle out if there are last minute deals.

[bigdog]

quick question about the trade deadline. when exactly are the trades announced? do they have to be announced at the end of the trade deadline or just be approved by the deadline?

They have to be submitted by the deadline, I believe, and as Bruno said earlier, if the teams are working on finalizing a deal, they can ask for extra time for complete the deal. We probably won't hear about some trades will later in the day.

[Death In June]

Did I miss it, or has anybody mentioned the time of the press conference?

[DPG21920]

Or Elliott being traded?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Yeah this is not good news :(

[2Cleva]

quick question about the trade deadline. when exactly are the trades announced? do they have to be announced at the end of the trade deadline or just be approved by the deadline?

The league has to know the deal is in progress by the deadline. Often times deals aren't released until hours later.

[holcs50]

nothing is going to go down. And i doubt manu is out for that long. Back to the norm

[honestfool84]

In about one hour we'll know all the trades that were made. You just have to get the paperwork in to the league in ten more minutes ... but it takes a while for the news to trickle out if there are last minute deals.

this has honestly been the slowest 10 minutes...in the last hour.

[1Parker1]

I can't remember, did they have a Press Conference earlier this summer to announce Ginobili would be needing surgery after his Olympics injury?

[xtremesteven33]

My spurs media source told me that the conference is about Manus health.


:(

[degenerate_gambler]

but I think if it was a trade, that someone somewhere would have leaked it.


+1

i think they roll with what they have and see what happens

[EricB]

Hopefully its not because Ginobili is toast.

I just don't think they got anyone, usually its been leaked by now.

[Malice]

Fuck. Thats just fucking great. Mother fuck. Last thing I wanted hear.

[Dex]

:smchode:

Trade Deadline day usually sucks, but not in this capacity.

[rayray2k8]

Damn, i got a bad feeling about this..
and I get the feeling its about Manu..

[AA2120]

"were gonna tank the rest of the year"

haha

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I don't care if we make a trade as long as manu is alright. When is the Spurs conference scheduled?

By the way did they have a conference after aquiring Kurt Thomas?

[xellos88330]

Thanks for all the answers to my question! You guys are awesome!

[ElNono]

Could it be about Pop shaving his beard?

[DPG21920]

Damn, Manu done for the year?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

My spurs media source told me that the conference is about Manus health.


:(


Damnit, I'm a sad man right now...... :depressed

[DPG21920]

Yeah Ginobili is toast for the year, and they probobly didn't get anyone to replace him.

Duel just text you or what?

[MoSpur]

I don't remember them having a press conference when it came to Manu having to have surgery on that left ankle this past summer. I could be wrong though 1Parker1

[bigdog]

I have a feeling that it's about Manu. :depressed

[EricB]

Duel just text you or what?

I reworded it.

I'm at work and have 10 different things going and didn't type that out right.

[LockBeard]

The San Antonio Spurs just acquired the rights to Robinson's, Duncan's, Manu's, TP's, and Bowen's current & future offspring.

[FromWayDowntown]

In about one hour we'll know all the trades that were made. You just have to get the paperwork in to the league in ten more minutes ... but it takes a while for the news to trickle out if there are last minute deals.


IIRC, we didn't know about the later-aborted Barry-for-Smith swap until a while after the deadline passed.

[DPG21920]

Well if Manu is done for the year, at least we have Mason to help out some. Last year when Manu got hurt, no one was there. Still terrible, terrible news.

[urunobili]

:depressed not good

[Marcus Bryant]

IIRC, we didn't know about the later-aborted Barry-for-Smith swap until a while after the deadline passed.

Something to consider is that the Spurs may already have an agreement in place, contingent on if another team doesn't find a better deal elsewhere.

[TMTTRIO]

I can't remember, did they have a Press Conference earlier this summer to announce Ginobili would be needing surgery after his Olympics injury?

No Manu leaked it in his article and then a day later the Spurs announced it.

[xtremesteven33]

Spurs PR is saying its not good news.

[jcrod]

Does anyone know time, what channel or if it will be on the web?

[MoSpur]

I know several people have asked, but anyone know the exact time the Spurs press conference is gonna happen?

[timvp]

When is the last time the Spurs even had a press conference that didn't have to do with free agency, the draft or a jersey retirement? Can't think of one . . .

[Thompson]

My spurs media source told me that the conference is about Manus health.


:(

Did he tell you what time it was going to be on? I'm on my lunch break, and I can stretch it out if it's soon. CIA Pop, please.

[LockBeard]

Tiago Splitter will be joining the Spurs in 2015.

[Marcus Bryant]

Maybe they're holding a press conference to diffuse the rumor that George Hill exposed his schlong to an unmarried female?

[bigdog]

Does anyone know time, what channel or if it will be on the web?

I doubt it would be on tv or even the web. Usually the local news stations will have some clips from any press conference.

[Malice]

Man just fucking spit it out already. Good news, bad news, some news would be great!

When is the last time the Spurs even had a press conference that didn't have to do with free agency, the draft or a jersey retirement? Can't think of one . . .

That would be the day leading up to Game 7 of the 2005 NBA Finals.

[pad300]

What time is the PC? Does anybody know?

Usually, yeah. This is one thing that makes me kind of hopeful; the only reason I can see for not specifiying the time is if a trade is in the works, and they think they might need an extension on the deadline to carry it through. (Yes, this can happen provided the NBA is notified that a deal is in progress prior to the deadline...). The Spurs would then be waiting until the details had been ironed out. If the press conference was solely about an injury/other issue, I can't see the time being unspecified.

In other news:

Marc Stein: Looks like we have a fairly significant three-way deal that has been submitted to the league just before the trade deadline.

NBA front-office sources tell ESPN.com that Orlando is acquiring Rafer Alston from Houston to fill the void created at point guard by Jameer Nelson's shoulder injury.

The Rockets will receive Memphis guard Kyle Lowry, Orlando forward Brian Cook and perhaps two other minimum-salaried players to make the finances work.

The Grizzlies will receive a first-round pick from Orlando.

Is it sure that there will have a press conference ?

Could it be that the Spurs thought they had something done and told the media to be ready in the event they finalized it?

I'm trying to stay optimistic.

[Dingle Barry]

Usually, yeah. This is one thing that makes me kind of hopeful; the only reason I can see for not specifiying the time is if a trade is in the works, and they think they might need an extension on the deadline to carry it through. (Yes, this can happen provided the NBA is notified that a deal is in progress prior to the deadline...). The Spurs would then be waiting until the details had been ironed out. If the press conference was solely about an injury/other issue, I can't see the time being unspecified.

me too:wakeup

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I have sources.



going to lunch guys.


see yall in 40 minutes.


I'm sure if you knew more you would tell us right? You wouldn't leave us hanging like that would you?

[xellos88330]

If Manu is out for the season and the Spurs didn't trade for anyone, I'm drinking copious amounts of alcohol.

Copious.

I have already started. Waiting is really wrecking my nerves. :drunk

[crc21209]

Lol whats up Chris. Having fun being a Spurs fan today? Lol :lol


HELL NO man. This is the weirdest/most frustrating trading deadline ever. Not only because of the need for a trade, but because of the Manu mystery.

[DBMethos]

Trade deadline day = EPIC FAIL

[timvp]

Wait. A press conference with the Spurs on the road? So a press conference in Detroit? Or is RC/Manu going to handle it?

:smchode:

[EricB]

Yeah if there was a trade, one of the NBA beat writers or columnists would've reported it

[rayray2k8]

There should be a Drown Your Sorrows GTG if that comes to pass.
Screw that!
How about a get together for tonight's game?
Or how about a celebration to Barkley's return and an
end to Payton's broadcasting career. :lol

[MarHill]

In other news:

Marc Stein: Looks like we have a fairly significant three-way deal that has been submitted to the league just before the trade deadline.

NBA front-office sources tell ESPN.com that Orlando is acquiring Rafer Alston from Houston to fill the void created at point guard by Jameer Nelson's shoulder injury.

The Rockets will receive Memphis guard Kyle Lowry, Orlando forward Brian Cook and perhaps two other minimum-salaried players to make the finances work.

The Grizzlies will receive a first-round pick from Orlando.

They are talking about this trade right now on the ESPN Trade Deadline Special!

[TheProfessor]

I'm sure if you knew more you would tell us right? You wouldn't leave us hanging like that would you?
Apparently he would :lol

[jdiggy0424]

just an fyi

the magic got rafer alston

[jman3000]

I think this has more to do with a trade and not a serious Manu injury. If it was Manu related, I don't think that would come until a bit later. They'd want to look at the injury THOROUGHLY and make sure 100% before releasing anything.

Unless of course it's something extremely serious like a fracture... but think that would have gotten out already.

[LockBeard]

Today is either Christmas eve or December 31, 2011.

[crc21209]

Maybe the Spurs didnt want anything out until the Press Conference.

[FromWayDowntown]

:smchode:

Given the rarity of a Spurs presser and the fact that the Spurs are in Detroit, I had remained hopeful that the p.c. was intended to be one to announce the acquisition of a player who would have no travel issues to stop him from attending.

Optimism isn't always realistic.

[porscha]

I just hope manu is healthy.....that's all I want!

[romain.star]

so basically, today news are:
1. no help for TD in the paint
2. a looming "manu is out for the rest of the season" press conference

waouh, that's quite powerfull...

[Shastafarian]

Optimism isn't always realistic.

But it's usually much more fun

[Dingle Barry]

Maybe they're going to announce that Manu has hairloss

[LockBeard]

Feeeeeed the sheeeeeed

[FromWayDowntown]

Read this in a new light. :(

Yeah, that could go a lot of different ways.

One would think. What would be the rush in announcing that Manu is out for the year? Couldn't that wait until the team returns home?

That helps take the edge off a BIT, but still...ugh.

I like your optimism though.

[timvp]

If the Spurs have a press conference regarding a trade, it's always after the player has arrived in town and passed the physical. The Spurs, IIRC, have never done it differently.

[MarHill]

i just hope manu is healthy.....that's all i want!

+1

Unless it's more than just an injury.

[Mr. Peabody]

Other than the OP, has anyone else heard about a press conference?

[Death In June]

The people (person?) reporting a press conference wasn't even sure there was going to be one...

[Ice009]

A lot of people are jumping the gun and straight off the cliff.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

No Carter, so this has to be about Manu :( Damnit this is depressing....

[Streakyshooter08]

Other than the OP, has anyone else heard about a press conference?

Thats what I was wondering about as well...

[Fpoonsie]

But to echo another poster's query, we are CERTAIN that there's even goin to BE a presser, correct? Right, timvp?

[Marcus Bryant]

Unless it's more than just an injury.

A couple of things come to mind, of the serious disease variety.

What if it's Sheed and the physical was given in Detroit? :downspin::hat:toast

[CIA_Pop]

Sorry, RC and I were out playing golf today. Did I miss anything?

[Fpoonsie]

Lol! jinx...jinx...JINX.

[tonylongoriafan]

it's got to be SOMETHING about manu

[jcrod]

So i haven't seen anything official on the press conference, we sure there is one??

[George Gervin's Afro]

I only hope it is not much more than an injury. This is a game after all.

[LockBeard]

We need positive Sheed vibes.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

carter has stayed put........very surprising

[Dr. Gonzo]

A couple of things come to mind, of the serious disease variety.

Same here. But it's a terrible thing to think about. Hopefully he is ok. Basketball is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

[hater]

this is really, really bad...

this reminds me of the time Magic Johnson called a press conference :wow

[ElNono]

it's got to be SOMETHING about manu

Maybe his bald spot is getting out of control?

[LockBeard]

Maybe his bald spot is getting out of control?

Turn it into a solar panel.

[MaNu4Tres]

So when is this press conference exactly?

[manustarting2gd]

ur a bitch cool hand. vagina monologue.

[timvp]

But to echo another poster's query, we are CERTAIN that there's even goin to BE a presser, correct? Right, timvp?

I haven't seen anything about a press conference. But the Spurs don't always send out much warning. Especially if they don't want to answer a lot of questions.

[Muser]

Did the nuggets do something like this when Nene had those problems?

[DesignatedT]

so when is this happening?

[Death In June]

The organization sort of fucked themselves by being stupid over Artest in free agency. I find it hard to believe they couldn't have offered him better than his current 1 year, 7 million dollar contract. But it's awesome they expected different results with an improved lakers squad without adding significantly to the lineup.

[ManuTP9]

Turn it into a solar panel.

:lol
