2 years is fine but for how much?
Lets start guessing...
I say....$5M / year
:hang
Well then.
We're all going to be waiting in anticipation for those contract details. Do the Spurs remain players or not?
Reminds me of the boxer who keeps boxing past his prime and keeps getting knocked out by guys who use to be his sparring partner.
Good stuff. I couldn't handle seeing this guy in some other jersey.
Great news, we will now be able to enjoy two more years of the Big 3 playing together.
Oh and good. Guy can still be effective, it's just up to him, his ego, and Pop to make sure he's in the right position to be so.
Manu coming back wasn't the question. Terms of the deal are what matter here.
Agreed I'm kinda scared, 2 more years pretty much guarantees he goes out like Kidd.Quote:

Good news. Manu Ginobili is one of my favorite players, and I'm glad he's back.
No big money, no big money, no whammy's STOP!
Ray Allen makes $3m per year, Manu should take the same
Glad Ginoboli is staying. I'm not sure how much they are paying him. That's what'll determine if it was a good signing or not. Knowing the Spurs front office, though, they aren't going to overpay tremendously on a free agent, so I'd bet they got relatively good deal.
I don't like his 8 turnovers in Game 6, but like it or not, he can still be an elite level playmaker. It took one of the NBA's best defenses to make him a turnover machine. Not many teams are good enough to do that. Basically the Heat. He did reasonably well against most other teams in the playoffs. He certainly picked his moments, but he showed that he could step up when needed. He struggled against Miami, though.
Hope he gets his 3 point shot back. Or maybe better, hope he learns what is a good three point shot and a bad one.
lol Houston.
Two more years?
How much will he earn?

He has to make more than Bonner...
If Manu took 5M or less per year that would be so huge for the Spurs and would be pretty selfless of Manu.
GREAT GREAT news.
Now, let's wait to see for how much money to project what Spurs will be able to do for the rest of their off-season.
Manu is back.. and he will retire with the Spurs. #Legend.
Who are the other Spurs only players who played for more than 10 years? DRob, Timmy, Parker are the only ones that come to my mind immediately. Others?
They went from asking about AK47 and Ellis to asking about Billups and Barnes, don't think they're gonna have any significant cap space left.
And Pop won't amnesty his son, that's not happening.
2 years, both fully guaranteed.
We can only hope that Manu took a modest contract to give us the highest cap space for the last piece or pieces.
That being said, welcome back Manu!
Is he purposesly keeping the money secret to prevent another Manu Should Retire thread?
I wonder if he can self-discipline himself to stop those foolish turnovers. If he can find a way to minimize them, he will still be an effective player.
This pretty much will force the Spurs to sign some scrub that didn't get signed by another team. Great offseason Stay pat is the way to go. J/K.
My guess is 8.5 mil for two years if the Spurs want another shot. Anything over that is just to sell tickets and ride the coattails of past glory days.
Great news
Glad to have Manu back
My guess: 2 years/14M
Team would have been better off throwing 11mil at Tyreke to play backup pg/sg. Then signing a lesser backup sf. We better have money left to add something decent.
old dog needs to learn a new trick.Quote:

While it hurts the cap space, it's still a fair contract. Spurs could still use the MLE as well.
lol meltdowns per par
How about his 24/10 in Game 5? How'd you feel about that? Obviously Game 6 was an abomination - but don't discount his game 7, because he was the only reason we were even within striking distance in the 4th of game 7.Quote:

Woohoo live by the Manu die by the Manu!
Like I said they went for asking about Ellis and AK to asking about Oden, Billups and Barnes.Quote:

Manu Ginóbili will continue in San Antonio for two more seasons
After letting us know he was a free agent, the man from Bahia announced in his Twitter account that he will continue on the Texas team for two seasons
[DEVELOPING] Despite speculations, and just a day after remembering he was a free agent after nine years, Manu Ginóbili announced he'll continue playing for San Antonio Spurs for two more seasons. He'll be 37 at the end of this deal.

Well, that's not a lot... if I spot contract details, I'll chime in
I think it will be 2 years 5-6 milions per year. Let's hope it's not more than that, Duncan's earning 10 and he's two or three times better player than manu's right now

In fact, the whole situation is eerily similar.
Doubt this. Spurs are loyal, but they aren't paying 37-year old Ginoboli ten million for a season.Quote:

LMAO at the second tweet. :lmaoQuote:

10 million a year? Crazy! Maybe his contract should include a $10,000 fine per turnover he causes. Then maybe he might be a bit more careful with the fucken ball.
Great news! :) Welcome back manu, glad you'll be starting and finishing your career in silver and black :) Hopefully it's a reasonable contract
I am glad. I love Manu. I just didn't love the end result of the season. But there is blame to go around. He just had the more obvious let down I think with turnovers; not making game winning plays.
Some were questioning whether he wanted to even play the game, so this proves he still has passion.
I just hope the money is fair, and if he took less knowing that the Spurs could have more money for more FA's well then it shows he's about the team as well.
I won't have a problem with what ever the number is.
I don't even think the Spurs have $10m to throw at him without amnestying Bonner and letting Neal walk?
Also, if it is indeed $10m, isn't that below his cap hold, and does that mean the Spurs renounced him to go under the cap? dammit, where's Chinook? :lol
Welcome back, Manu.
2yr/13-14mil is fine with me.
Anything else is too much but I'm still glad that he'll be back.
:lol here's hoping most of the GNSFs meltdown and kill themselves tbh.

Exactly, lolQuote:

Great news.
Finalizing deals w/Tiago and Manu fairly quickly leads me to believe that the Spurs have other moves in mind and wanted to wrap up the loose ends to know exactly what they're working with.
Hope that's the case and their next big move isn't announcing the return of Matty and Neal tbh. :lol
My only slight surprise is that Tiago got done first (because Manu's contract was the one I felt as more critical to making other moves). But they both got wrapped up with plenty of time to target FA's which is great if they choose to take that route.
When a FA leaves the country during FA, it's a pretty good sign that they know things are handled :lol
Why would rumors circulate around the Spurs' office?Quote:

If Splitter's contract starts above his cap hold, the Spurs can just sign him last. The only way the Spurs would sign Splitter first is if the first year is under his cap hold, and it can't get that low on a 4/36 deal.Quote:
Originally Posted by DPG21920

Ginobili showed he can still compete at a high level. Don't know why some people are mad that one of the best Spurs to don the jersey is going to retire here tbh. And if the Spurs are able to add another ball-handler, then that makes Ginobili all the more effective.
OK, should be a good move if Manu calls something less 5/year. I can seen enough space to bring AK here
Now we wait for the damage, I have a feeling this is gonna be bad http://i.imgur.com/nzg7vEU.gifQuote:

Don, did you think to ask how much the contract was going to pay him?Quote:

LMAO at people believing some GNSF's claim of 2/20. Said GNSF will soon be pinked.
There's no way he's getting 10mil/year unless RC fell off the wagon again tbh.
