I would agree he should retire except for one thing...despite his turnovers, frequent injuries, and questionable decision making he's the only one who can handle the ball outside of TP. If we brought in someone else or somehow developed CoJo or De Colo by next season then yes I'd be all for Ginobili's retirement. Then we could get a real starting SG and move Green to the bench where he belongs.
no news at this time...
my bad if this is a repost. I was gone to another dimension the last 24 hours :lolQuote:

I will never forgive him and Pop though for costing Tim Duncan his 5th ring.Quote:

come on. Spurs have 1 year to find TP's backup. and if Manu retires they'll also have plenty of money. A fucking backup PG cannot be that fucking hard to find. Shit try TMAC
All the people piling shit on Manu right now had too high of expectations for him. It's like everyone expected for him to turn into 2005 Manu again just because the Spurs were back in the Finals. Hell, even Pop probably tried to lump too much responsibility on those aging shoulders. Sure, I wanted to believe the Manu of old would rise, but Spurs fans need to face it: those days are gone for him.Quote:

Yes, I understand that his play was not on par with his gigantic salary, but that's what happens when you sign a contract in your semi-prime and then quickly decline, and we all knew Manu was going to be in for a quick decline when it happens. However, in the right capacity, Manu could still be extremely useful to the team. If he comes back for a reasonable contract and is properly utilized as a role-player, he could easily have another good two seasons. Give his keys to Kawhi, and let him settle into a backseat role.

that's BS. nobody expected 05 Manu. We did expect a lot less than 8 TOs in game 6 and 2 crucial TOs late in game 7. thou.Quote:

Why retire? Leave the Spurs, maybe... But why retire? Scared he might prove you wrong on another team? Don't be such a chicken, hater boy.
I wonder when is jersey will be retired? Gotta be in the first few months of the season right?
Manu won't retire. He can't go out like that and this lost opportunity is gonna eat him alive alllllll summer. He'll be back just with a different role

hater, you make me lol a lot, but Manu still has some good game left in the tank. Dude played all summer last year. He just needs some rest and re-focus imo.
I hope Manu is in the gym right now working on his fucking jump shot. What the fuck happened to his jump shot this season? It's been broken all year.

you don't seriously believe that. Manu had 10 days of rest before the finals. He still managed to turn it over 10+ times in only the 2 most important games. 6, and 7Quote:

Well I posted this is my "the official Manu is done thread" thread which failed miserably at a measly 14 post...thanks Obama! I thought you were for the little guys like us GNSFs!

thread is premature. a more realistic thread would be "We Just Overpaid Manu Again?"
He has enough in the tank easily for another 3-5 seasons.... or about 44 games, IMO

true, it's just his turnovers at the end ruined the whole thing, so it was like he had one final turd or two from game 6 to shit out.Quote:

Manu won't be retiring. He'll sign for 2 years for about 7-10 mil/year with a player option for the second year.

I want him to return, I want him to respond and make up for his performance. If Tony could promise to Timmy, why not Manu? Don't you think it'll be just like that? Manu had his worst performance in the Playoffs and he'll just leave? I think not.
I saw this post a while ago, I dunno if it means much but:
Via Danny Green twitter:
My goal is to try to get Timmy and Manu to come back for one more...either way we will come back stronger/better...we won't let you down.
Its sad when a notorious Parker homer creates this kind of post. Its good to know that TP (who's actually playing out there) doesn't think the same way.
I hope this sad post gets closed soon by the Admin unless, of course, that this behavior is condoned in some way
