Trade Ginobili!

[SequSpur]

Dude hasn't done shit this year. He had one flash and now he's out. Dude is not an allstar. He belongs on the Grant Hill poster child list.

When are you all going to quit wacking off to this guy and see the light?

Dude is the reason why the Spurs lose and the exact reason why they didn't win last year.

Begone!

That's a decent idea.

[Medvedenko]

Shit...I though Manu was better than Kobe...and the best SG in the NBA. Oh, how times have changed. My earlier comment was purely to talk trash, and guess what, no one defends Manu. Honestly, I think Manu is the X Factor on the spurs that can win you games more than TP or TD, however he also can lose you games to the same effect.

[polandprzem]

We are fucked !!1

Big time. Nobody wants Ginobili so we stucked with him.

[Mr. Body]

This thread is all kinds of suck.

[SequSpur]

I agree...the money they are paying him far exceeds his return. Now, he's an incredible player yes...


Another example of the Spurs overpaying a player for the past instead of the future of the franchise.

They paid Avery 8 million for one year. They aren't that bright.

[SequSpur]

True.

Ginobili!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is the most overrated player in the NBA. Just because Barkley yells his name.

[2centsworth]

Dude is the reason why the Spurs lose and the exact reason why they didn't win last year.
Spurs lost last year because they couldn't hit last second shots to finish off games..cough Tim Duncan.

Is it a coincidence the spurs are losing with Ginobillio hurt? I think not. Nevertheless, I can't believe the incredible amount of hate Manu gets from hardcore spurs fans so I wish they would trade him. I guarantee the team they trade him to will be instant contenders and the spurs will go back to the weak '01 type of team.

[polandprzem]

True.

Yeah even that fat TNT jurnalist is playing better I think.

[SequSpur]

BS. They will dream and wack off just like most of you here. Dude plays in about 50% of the games and 30% of those games he doesn't do jack.

So basically he is good about 6 games a season, 2 games in the playoffs. Yeah, that's a contender isn't it....

Before Manu and Tony the Spurs sucked, but like I said you're in the majority on this board so I hope Manu is traded to see the majority cry. Wouldn't this board be great with 100% more Dallas Trolls.

[Texas_Ranger]

Rumor has it Gasol is available. Gino +Elson



Manu & Elson for Gasol.:lol

OK, Pau can play on PF position and Tim on center, but who will be our bench center. Butler perhaps? He sucks. Only if Timmy or Pau will play 48 min. per game then everything is OK.
One more question. Who will play on SG. Finley? He sucks this season to. And who will replace Finley?

For me that team would not be good.

If he would not do that, then Manu would be the best, but now he is the worst, that is what some of you think.

[The Truth #6]

A giant contract? Hardly. If anything it was under market value when he signed it. He was the main reason the Spurs got through the 2005 playoffs and won a title. Sure, it would be great if wasn't as injured but that goes with the way he plays. He's sandbagging until the playoffs so he'll have some energy. Deal with it.

People who want to trade him for Gasol are basically retarded. Yeah, that's our big weakness - Power Forward.

[Texas_Ranger]

People who want to trade him for Gasol are basically retarded.

Funny but true.

[texas84]

No way the Grizz trade Gasol for Elson, Ginobili, and spare change. You don't trade big for small, especially young big for older small. If it did happen tho, you'd have an extremely dominant frontline on the boards and low post but a huge speed and defensive liability on the court with him and Duncan.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Manu is a winner. period. Everybody says it. He has won wherever he has gone. Take him away from the Spurs and you are :

a. dealing a major blow to the team's collective killer instict and ability to execute down the strech (intangible)
b. eliminating a lot of the allure that the Spurs have now for FAs (a whole country is behind this guy. this makes good players want to come here more, despite the fact that we are a small market team)
c. getting rid of a bona fide clutch shooter
d. ripping part of the heart and soul from the team (a la malik rose trade).

Trading Manu = Pistons letting Ben Wallace go. He may not be our best stats guy at this point, but he is the Spurs. :fro

I agree with most of this post. The only thing I don't agree with is comparing Manu to Rose. We traded the "heart and sould" and went on to win the championship? I would say that would be evidence that he was not the heart and sould of this team.

Ginobli would be a much larger blow to the moral of the team if he was traded than Malik was.

[LEONARD]

we dont need thugs on our team. don't want one.

LOL...Spurs fans would welcome JHo with open arms if he went to the Spurs... :lol

[Shaolin-Style]

I was thinking about this after he got injured yet again.

Seeing games without him though...forget it, he's too valuable to this team, even if he gets injured every other month.

[phxspurfan]

Without Manu, we would not have one in 2005. If he is half of that player, we will win our 4th ring. The only player I would trade for Manu is someone like Ray Allen or Michael Redd.


Michael Redd is money. I'll give you that. Ray Allen is a cancer.

[Kori Ellis]

This thread sucks.

:lol

[SequSpur]

This thread sucks.

Yeah, reality sucks... Manu is overrated and overpayed and should be traded.

[midgetonadonkey]

I agree. They should trade him now that he would still have some value on the market. In 3 years his game will gone and we will be stuck with his contract.

[SequSpur]

I agree. They should trade him now that he would still have some value on the market. In 3 years his game will gone and we will be stuck with his contract.

Another note... on a team without a dominant player, he would be Derrick Anderson.

I say trade him for Ray Ray's used underwear. After he's gone, we should torch his house and kill his family.
He's been since the beginning a disgrace for the silver & black. :rolleyes

Come to think about it, if Sequ, that brilliant baskertball mind, says we should trade Manu, Manu should be gone.

Outside of San Antonio, who would want this inconsistency with a possible upside which is doubtful?

[tim_duncan_fan]

No one is going to trade us anyone of any real value for ginobili so this thread is pointless.

It would probably be better for all parties concerned if Ginobili returned to the Euroleague and the Spurs spent their cap space on a free agent like Vince Carter.

Even if Spurs shouldn't trade him and Manu is far from being overpaid, I had to admit that I quite agree with Sequ about that.

Since his great year in 04-05, manu has been quite a disapointment.He has had few good/great games but a lot of very average/bad ones.

- Sometimes he was injured and didn't play. Some injuries weren't just bad luck, as an example the last one is due to his flopping style.
- Sometimes he wasn't in the rythm because he came back from an injury or because he played with a little injury.
- Sometimes he was tired and lack some energy like during b2b last year;
- Sometimes his defender was in his head like Artest and to a lesser extent Bell.
- Sometimes he wasn't in the game because he thought at some previous mistakes.
- Sometimes his shot was off ....

I still like manu, he is great player but the truth is that he is for the moment far from being a consistent player who help Spurs for each games.

I'm really worried about Manu. I wonder if he is still able to be good/great during 25 games (the length of the playoffs) or if he is can only be great during some random games and be average during the others.

[phxspurfan]

the only thing that can stop Manu from being great is himself. He will bounce back because he has the will to bounce back.

[MmP]

This thread is more like: "I want to convince everyone that Manu isn't that great player". The guy just bashes everyone who defend Manu.

bruno, i respect your bball knowledge, but its not like your boy parker is a model of consistency. aside from the injuries, you could say the same things about duncan (shot being off, defenders/mistakes in his head, tired on b2bs/ even the past 2 seasons duncan has been injured as well). want to trade him too?

and do you really think he got injured because of his "flopping style"? because i saw a determined player trying to recover a ball that was going to the other 2 mavs who had position on him.

manu was underpaid, as his production tails off with his health it wont continue to be like that but really the only way the spurs get another above average shooting guard under market price is by drafting him.

anyways this is obviously bait for the manu groupies, so please carry on feeding sequ- he needs all the stimulation he can get if hes ever to grow tall enough to lick tony's balls without a stool.

[dg7md]

He'll get his act together in the playoffs I'm sure, he's a really smart player and that's what a team like the Spurs need on their roster, experience and poise. Although Gasol would be a great, great choice I doubt he goes anywhere.

The difference between Duncan and Ginobili is that Duncan was clear : sprained ankle and a PF. Now it's finished and he is back at his previous level. My concern about manu is that it's a lot of different little things and I wonder if his troubles will finish one day.



and do you really think he got injured because of his "flopping style"? because i saw a determined player trying to recover a ball that was going to the other 2 mavs who had position on him.

The injury against Mavs was clearly a result of his crazy/flopping style.

[PM5K]

It really has been far to long since Manu has played consistently well....

Interestingly his numbers aren't that far off from when he was an All-Star, I guess the problem for me is that I actually expected more, not less...

There are few NBA players that play with passion and MANU is one of them. You just don’t trade that up because he has been hurt a couple of Games. The passion he brings to the court is priceless.

Parker, Ginobili, Duncan. the big three, with the ball and in Holt's wallet. the things you said about manu you could have said about all of them. only duncan has proven to be more reliable and effective. so parker was consistent, last season, too bad he couldnt keep it up in the playoffs. We still dont know if tony can dribble this season, although his shot looks nicer. Parker is younger and has more upside, that i wont argue. but he still has a lot to improve. I dont think the spurs could do better than manu at SG without spending more. and thats what the discussion is about, business. all of the better options make way more than manu. you prefer finley to start? the FO is forced to find another diamond in the rough, all we can do is pray manu gives them time to find someone

[wildbill2u]

The new defensive rules seem hand made for Manu's style. No hand-checking out on the perimiter?

With his unorthodox moves, he's gonna be extremely hard to stop on his drives to the basket. That's what we haven't seen a whole lot of this year because he's been shooting the pull-up jumper.

I expect to see him among the leaders in FTs made this year.

Since his great year in 04-05, manu has been quite a disapointment. give me a fucking break! a disappointment?? how was Manu a disappointment last season?? He played his heart out, and truth be told that last foul of his was disappointing but we wouldn't have been in a position to win that game if it wasn't for him either.


He has had few good/great games but a lot of very average/bad ones.Please! Last season his good games most definately outnumbered his bad ones, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. You make it seem as though Manu fucked around all last season and came up with just a few good games and thats it. That's bullshit and you know it.



- Sometimes he was injured and didn't play. Some injuries weren't just bad luck, as an example the last one is due to his flopping style.I agree the dude injures himself more than the average player because of the way he plays, but this last injury clearly wasn't because of his flopping


- Sometimes he was tired and lack some energy like during b2b last year;Are you serious?? which Spurs player doesn't?? well... maybe Bowen, but the rest suck at back to backs.


- Sometimes his defender was in his head like Artest and to a lesser extent Bell.aah, yes, because Artest has never shut anyone else down, this is a Manu thing right? Give me a break! Artest is one of the premier defenders in this league, and although I agree to some extent that Manu seemed completely shut down by him during some games, I think we can cut him some slack for that, don't you?


- Sometimes his shot was off ....
I'm not even going to bother with that one :lol


I still like manu, he is great player but the truth is that he is for the moment far from being a consistent player who help Spurs for each games.dude may not score like he used to, but "far from being a consistant player who helps Spurs for each games"?? WTF have you been smoking son?? I dare you to find another spur that can do more for the spurs when having an off night on shooting.


I'm really worried about Manu. I wonder if he is still able to be good/great during 25 games (the length of the playoffs) or if he is can only be great during some random games and be average during the others.Let me ask you something, was Tony great during the entire playoffs last season? was Tim? now I admit Manu is definately not the player he was during the 2004-2005 season, but again you're talking as if Manu is more of a hindrance to our championship aspirations than he is an asset.
This post clears a few things up http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smirolleyes.gif Sequ was just being his old trolling self, and I'm sure he'll be back hanging from Manu's balls during this years playoffs, you on the other hand...

Now this should be the Spurs slogan this year.... I mean this is the Manunobili fan's motto.

Well wtf is a hero in a basketball game?

This is all about the W. That's right, fucking winning. You can't help the W, if you are hurt or you're making stupid decisions.

And yes, that was typical Manu flopping.

Again, keep on wacking Manu fans. That is what you do best. Wacking off to hope.

I ain't hoping for shit. I am ready for this management team to wake the fuck up and do something with this roster before they become the Twolves.

Please, look at last season more closely and you will see what I say.



Are you serious?? which Spurs player doesn't?? well... maybe Bowen, but the rest suck at back to backs

Duncan had a specific injury that haven't allowed him to play well during b2b.
Don't forget that Pop wanted to sit down Manu for b2b because of his lack of energy.



aah, yes, because Artest has never shut anyone else down, this is a Manu thing right? Give me a break! Artest is one of the premier defenders in this league, and although I agree to some extent that Manu seemed completely shut down by him during some games, I think we can cut him some slack for that, don't you?

Give me a break!
RIF : Being shut down isn't the same thing than being in the head of someone.
I have no problem with a player shut down, but a player who doubt and lost his confidence because he is shut down is more problematic.




dude may not score like he used to, but "far from being a consistant player who helps Spurs for each games"?? WTF have you been smoking son?? I dare you to find another spur that can do more for the spurs when having an off night on shooting.

WTF have you been smoking son??
Manu off nights aren't all related with off shooting nights.



Let me ask you something, was Tony great during the entire playoffs last season? was Tim?

Spurs haven't only played the playoffs after the 05 title, they have too played one regular season and one month this year.
To answere at your question, Duncan was better than manu during the playoffs. Parker was slighty better too even if he was injured during the Mavs serie.



you're talking as if Manu is more of a hindrance to our championship aspirations than he is an asset.

Don't put words in my mouth, I say what I say and I've never say that.



you on the other hand...

:lol
I've critzed Manu, I will go to hell.



P.S. Just FYI sugar coating bashing doesn't mean it isn't still just that bro

Just FYI, before saying things like that, you should have a strong argument and not a weak one that have just been destroyed. :lol

I wouldn't trade Ginobili though. Even though he may have an off shooting night, he recognizes it and tries to do as many things to help the team as possible.

MANU is Awsome and should retire a SPUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ronaldo McDonald]

Manu is the single source of passion for the spurs', and although there are more players than I can think of that share a passion for the game, few showcase it with the ammount of class that he does. It's like every time he plays you know he gives it his all, this is an important quality because remember, before the spurs had anyone like him, their lack of heart was at the core of every persons problem with the team. I personally think that when he brings his A game, you got to look at the whole package, and it's more than numbers and stats, it's about his determination and will to win, which, especialy in the playoff, tends to spread throughout the team like a rash.

Dudes' been way to valuable for the team (2 rings and the leader of and olympic team that won gold medal) to just lose confidence in.

[phxspurfan]

no me importa

[upTD]

Shit...I though Manu was better than Kobe...and the best SG in the NBA. Oh, how times have changed. My earlier comment was purely to talk trash, and guess what, no one defends Manu. Honestly, I think Manu is the X Factor on the spurs that can win you games more than TP or TD, however he also can lose you games to the same effect.

shit, you and MANU, better than Kobe? IT'S A DREAM NEVER COME TRUE

[upTD]

he's good in crunch time so that's why he has the ball 90% of the times down the stretch.

Before Manu and Tony the Spurs sucked, but like I said you're in the majority on this board so I hope Manu is traded to see the majority cry. Wouldn't this board be great with 100% more Dallas Trolls.


he's BAD in crunch time last playoff, you manu fan are blind.

[upTD]

Parker haters too huh? Some of you guys are spoiled. Could you imagine this team without Manu and Tony?


Could you imagine this team spend how much money on them? a champion team's start player should not do so little for the team as the shit manu did.

[upTD]

If Ginobili hadn't fouled Dirk in Game 7 and his 3 pointer had ended up being the shot that saved the Spurs season, would this thread exist right now??

before manu's 3 pointer there was fin's 3 pointer, and other player did so mach for spurs to catch mavs, are you think a spurs's start player should do nothing for spurs?

:rolleyes :rolleyes Please you will be shitting your pants if we were to somehow get him! Webber in the low post and dirk on the perimeter=A NIGHTMARE for the Spurs somewhat physical defense. You might want to get off of Manu's dick thinking he is going to revert to the 2005 player he was once. Or thinking the spurs physical defense it will be as great as it once was. Either way please keep Manu. As a Mavs fan I will join the "keep Manu in SA" protest. It is comforting to know that you have a player who will give a foul to a 90% free throw shooter! :clap :clap :spin

[SpurYank]

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Why, it's better if we move the team to Austin. Let them worry about whom to trade and whom to keep.

You guys have too much time on your hands. Pop,Tony,Timmy, and Manu are the reason the Spurs are the winningest franchise in ANY major sport in America. You may not know it, but the rest of the country does.

You better get ready to cry again, too. We will lose 18 to 20 more games before it's over.

As our departed Rummy says, "Stuff happens."

hey at least if we traded him we would stop having these Manu versus Tony threads that pop up all the time:p: . If you want to trade him, trade him to Phoenix. I'd like to see him play with Steve Nash :) or the Chicago Bulls . Seriously this is stupid. Interesting that the three games he has missed are the ones that the Spurs have lost because they played without any energy. Yes even with him healthy and playing those games we might not have won but he would've hustled to make plays that led to a win. He doesn't always have to score. And for those dwelling on the mistake he did last season get over it. It's done and we're in a new season.

you know, without him spurs minus a start-player, that's the difference, if wo replace him with ather top teams's sg, wo could have win the games.

[ginobili fan]

Manu is a winner. period. Everybody says it. He has won wherever he has gone. Take him away from the Spurs and you are :

a. dealing a major blow to the team's collective killer instict and ability to execute down the strech (intangible)
b. eliminating a lot of the allure that the Spurs have now for FAs (a whole country is behind this guy. this makes good players want to come here more, despite the fact that we are a small market team)
c. getting rid of a bona fide clutch shooter
d. ripping part of the heart and soul from the team (a la malik rose trade).

Trading Manu = Pistons letting Ben Wallace go. He may not be our best stats guy at this point, but he is the Spurs. :fro

[spurschick]

I'll say this much... for someone the haters want to get rid of so badly, they sure give Manu a lot of attention. This forum is full of threads focused solely on him.

[rasho8]

Manu is the freakin man.
You people have issues, he gets hurt because he goes out there and gives 100% every night. Not everyone can be Kobe and hit a million shots a night.
When hes on, hes on like crazy, when hes off... hes way off.
But hes good and it gives our team more fire with Manu on the court distracting players and stealing balls like crazy.
Go Manu... all you haters need to go.

[Emanuel20]

It seems to me that we all expect to much of Manu...(but who's to blame after what we saw he can do)

Get well manu:)

[Mavs<Spurs]

I have a better idea, let's trade Sequ.

Manu gives us so much more than just points:

he gives us hustle, he gives us steals, he draws charges against his opponents when they are on offense, he gets a key rebound, he gets opponents in foul trouble, he is one of the best playmakers in the entire NBA, he is a great passer.

These are things that Manu does even when he is not shooting well.

Someone might say that Manu doesn't do any good things when he is injured on the bench. However, the fact is that he plays 80 % or higher of the Spurs games since being on the team (probably closer to 90%). So that allegation does not make much sense.

[Axl Van Dam]

Dude hasn't done shit this year. He had one flash and now he's out. Dude is not an allstar. He belongs on the Grant Hill poster child list.

Begone!

:ihit HORSESHIT!!!!!!!!

[MmP]

he is one of the best playmakers in the entire NBA, he is a great passer.
That's primarly why Pop keeps giving him the ball in clutch time. Manu may not score in the last posetions but he creates a lot for the Spurs.

[RC's Boss]

I wouldn't trade him THIS year, but lets be honest... That contract is going to look a lot bigger when he's 32 and broken. Who knows... A.I. is one I thought would be broken by now, but he seems as sharp as ever. Maybe Manu can do the same. With that said, Manu would be VERY attractive trade bait a year or two from now if he can play an avg. of at least 70-75 games for the next year.

[spurschick]

[spurtime]

The thing that is amusing about this thread is that Sequ ignores a fundamental inconsistency with his line of thinking. If it is true that Manu is incapable of playing at the level that he has in the past, and will continue to be injury prone, why will any team in their right minds trade us anything of value for him? If Sequ's "brilliance" is in line with NBA GMs then they will see the same thing about Manu and not offer us anything other than the expiring deals of poor players or the bloated contracts of bad players. Is that what we're looking for in return for Manu?

If Sequ thinks that his opinion really carries any weight then he is directly responsible for lowering Manu's perceived worth and making it more difficult for the Spurs to get anything of value for Manu.

The other possibilities are that Sequ simply wants to throw chum in the water to get the board riled up OR that he's borderline retarded.

With that said, Manu would be VERY attractive trade bait a year or two from now if he can play an avg. of at least 70-75 games for the next year.
Let's look at the game plan of Pop and the Front Office. This team will become geriatric in a couple of years.

However, it's clear they want to keep the big three together until Duncan's run at more championships is over. However, Manu is probably the only one of the three they would consider trading and that's because of his age.

But who or what draft pick can they get in return that will be equal or better? 2nd round picks are usually useless as starters although there are some notable exceptions.

Our problem is not so much trading Manu as it is replacing a lot of players due to age WHEN WE CANT DO MUCH VIA THE DRAFT if we continue to be contenders.

We will have to revamp all the guard positions except for Parker and our Euros (or White) don't look like the answer right now for the SF slot when Bowen slows down.

We will have to go through a few years of being in the wilderness, probably dead last in the league, to get some favorable draft picks. The chances of getting another Timmy with a lottery pick while still hanging on to him (a la Robinson) is infinitely small.

This thread is funny. I love how easily people get stirred up, and you gotta love how the bandwagon fans of a championshipless franchise who lucked out in squeaking by the Spurs only to get their asses handed to them in Finals love piling on. Pretty funny.

Rumors of Manu's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Manu incresed his value now, so...



























































TRADE HIM !!!!

[xamila rey]

his value never went down. :spin .....

:wakeup ----------"TRADE GINOBILI"---------:lmao

The idea, on principle, isn't so crazy. Manu is great when he's healthy and aggressive, but those two qualities are at odds most of the time (meaning that if he's aggressive, he won't be healthy and that if he wants to stay healthy he'll be more timid).

The problem with the whole idea is that Manu is a "superstar" in SA, but JUST a "star" everywhere else. That means SA will be less inclined to get rid of him because of his intangible to the ballclub and they just wouldn't get "equal" value (Lebron James?) in a trade.

Bottom Line: Manu Ginobili retires as a Spur. It's really not a question of "if", but "when"

I wouldn't bet on it. If Spurs don't get a championship in the next 2 years, they might make a big move. Either Parker or Manu or both would go.

I don't think the Spurs would blow the team up if they didn't win it all over the next couple years. That's a bit of an overreaction.

I'd be inclined to agree with you if the Spurs were not contending (i.e. bottom-four seed or lottery), but to me that would mean a major, season-ending injury had occured.

My guess is that the Spurs continue to contend for the title, and tweak their line up with role players while they've still got the big three under contract...so no big moves.

Oh, and I know it seems like young, talented point guards are falling of trees right now (Paul, Williams, etc.), but that shouldn't affect how Tony is viewed. He has grown into a legit perennial all-star and if he continues to develop he could be the best PG in the league.

He's someone you can build a franchise around, and in a few years...the Spurs will.

[TMTTRIO]

I would hate to see Manu gone because he's my favorite players but unless your Tim or now even Tony, there's always a chance to get traded. Manu has even admitted that eventually he might be traded. He may be a fan favorite but Malik was one too and he got traded. The question is which team would the Spurs trade him to and for whom? If they traded him I would hate to see him on a Western Conference team and comes back to tear us apart.

he certainly has to improve his fourth quarter performance, the guy is turning like ball crazy in the last 2-4 minutes of the 4th... (don't get me wrong I like parker but if he want to be seen as an ALL-Star..he has to improve that..and less of hogging the ball)

Compare: Manu in the 4th quarter against Portland
:Tony.......

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Rumor has it Gasol is available. Gino +Elson +fillers might work.

/Just throwing it out there.

Uh, no.

I wouldn't even do Manu straight up for Gasol. Now give me a Kirilenko and I'd consider it. Or maybe a J'Oneal. Not Pau 'the choker' Gausol.

[Emanuel20]

man are y'all given up on Manu already
Only trade talks about gino in this forum

I don't think any real Spurs fan has given up on him.

But I wouldn't say he's "untradeable". I would put Tony in that class (just because of how young he is) and obviously Duncan is in that class. Manu is in the 'we PROBABLY wont trade him...unless we just get a really sweet deal' type of class.

but did you see the energy he brought yesterday...and the energy he usually brings....i don't know if they will find more passionate guy than him


Do you think that if the SPurs win it this year? (with playoff manu) Do you think they will resign him after his contract expires...

I don't know his contract situation...

But if what you say is correct, and he's a free agent after this year....whether we win or not he will be resigned. The value he brings to this team is undeniable. But when you look at his age, and look at his style of play...I would say his number of quality years left in the league are 3-5. Now look at a Kirilenko. You can get a guy who will be solid for 10+ years.

[Emanuel20]

no i think his contract does not expire in the next 2 years i am not sure

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Well, I'm sure we won't be signing him to a 10 year deal or anything.

It'll probably be a 2-4 year deal for like 5-7 mill per year.

[Emanuel20]

true....
you know i read an article that he might actually make the hall of fame
because of his all around the world basketball achievments

[wildbill2u]

We're in a hell of a dilemma for the future. Unless Duncan goes down with an injury for a year and puts us in the lottery, we're going to continue as high level contenders with terrible draft position.

Drafting at the 25-30 position every year eventually erodes and ruins your roster--unless you can keep finding unknown jewels like Parker and Manu to draft. We've been able to exploit the overseas player market, but that's becoming less likely as other teams extensively scout the world for players.

Our only hope is that Isaiah Thomas remains in charge of the lowly Knicks and makes some more stupid trades.

I think CIA Pop has compromising pics of Isaiah or something.

Doubt it...

I was kind of young at the time, but didn't that guy Drazen Petrovic (sp?) have a similar impact? I don't think he's in the hall of fame. I could be wrong though.

Not true, look at the Patriots.

I think it comes down to a good GM and good coaching. We have both.

yeah i've heard that name he's from croatia, played basketball during 80's

if manu made the shot against spain and won the gold medal may be yeah but.....

I still doubt it.

Sabonis get's in the hall before Manu.

[Emanuel20]

u think tony will

[Please_dont_ban_me]

u think tony will


It's hard to say.

But he's pretty young and already has 2 rings along with good stats. If he picks up at least 2-3 more rings and his stats keep improving like they have been...why not?

so finley's starting today right
