This is so pointless. Manu had his extension and he left it on the table, yes or no?
Why would he be?Quote:

Shit like this happens. Players get banged up and injured. I'm not going to hold it against them because they left it all out there for the team.
I dunno. I don't keep up with the Manu situation. You guys know better than me.Quote:

No, the Spurs took it off the table when he didn't reject playing for the NT in Beijing.Quote:

It's sure that Duncan was damn bad against Mavs in 06. :rolleyesQuote:

Spurs have paid a lot of money a player who wasn't able to help them when they needed him. It's quite unreal that this player whines because he didn't get an extension.
No doubt. And Duncan played with planar fasciitis pretty much almost all season. He was a warrior, always been. Even last season with the knees banged up, he still showed up to play hard every night.Quote:

No, you said he was paid a lot to suck against Vujacic, when you know damn well he has been injured since the Suns series.Quote:

They stopped negotiations when he left for Argentina to start the rehab. Obviously it was a way to pressure him.Quote:

with manus past history of injuries i dont see any other logical thing to do then to wait this season out and see if he can stay healthy... the spurs are doing this the right way. manu on the other hand... isn't. and i dont see any reason for manu to be upset by this decision by the spurs especially with his past injuries.
Why would they? So you are saying there was definitely no official offer?Quote:

Where's the whining exactly?
