If Ginobili starts hitting his shots, Mimi (or Indiana) is screwed. It would be really hard for those teams, as they are now playing, to match.
If he opts out we'd pretty much have the cap room to make a max offer to DwightQuote:

Depending on what cap number is and/or if Spurs wants to go after a major FA, Spurs could very well be in a situation where he doesn't really matter if Ginobili makes $6M, $8M, $10M or $12M in 2013/2014. In that scenario, what would make sense for Spurs would be to give Manu a 1 year contract with a high salary like $10M.
Those who are calling for Manu to retire:
1. Haven't watched the Spurs the last few years
2. Don't understand Pop's system
3. Very likely don't understand BB
4. Ignore facts
5. Underestimate the heart of a champion
6. Don't understand how the Spurs have built what they have
Manu is no longer clutch. He can hit a big shot with the game on the line. For every one he makes he misses three. There is a difference. Clutch players dont come up empty as often as he does now.
If the Spurs don't go after any major free agents and simply are trying to sign Ginobili, Splitter and their draft and stash players there will be plenty of room under the tax. It would be best if Manu signs a two year contract with a big year 1 number and low year two number....ie. 9M year 1, 3M year 2.
If there is a shot to win the Finals, I want Manu taking it.Quote:

D12 to LAT: I couldn't watch the playoffs I was so ticked. Everywhere I went I saw a Tim Duncan jersey, and you know how much I hated that.
Manu just said even though he can see the road ending he can't imagine being retired....no way he doesnt sign for 2 years
Mark Jackson and the whole Warriors crew, going down 1-2 instead of 3-0 because of Emaunel Ginobili's play,Quote:

Thatīs assuming he wonīt improve next season.Quote:

You can't compare Duncan's impact on the franchise/city to Ginobili's. Spurs could've handed him a blank check and he woulda deserved every penny for his contributions to the Spurs.Quote:
