-Less than $5 million would be a steal and Manu will have been generous to give up money.
-$5-7 million per season would be fine and well deserved.
-$8-10 million would be a bit greedy on Manu's part but I'd rather pay him that than try to find a replacement.
-$10 million plus and I'd be mad.

Manu is great for 1 in 3 games. That seems to be all he has. So, about 1/3 of 14 million. Let's say 5 million a year. NBA salaries are bloated by default, so I'm figuring around 7-8 Million. Any more than that, and I would say bad move. Any less...pretty good deal.

For sentimental reasons, I'm glad Manu is sticking around but tbh, he sucks ass now. I really hope he took $5m or less.

To me, a fair contract for Manu would be $6M per year.

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

The Spurs have his Bird Rights, to they can just re-sign him. And they don't have to go under the cap, since Bonner keeps them over. Even if they amnesty him (and I'm just saying they probably won't under this scenario), they can stay over if they want to with their other free agent holds, including Horry still.

Manu and Tim are happy they are not all-stars anymore :lol

Yeah I agree. If he took anything north of that, even something like $6.1M, I'd be upset.

You should care about the amount because it has potentially significant impact on their overall flexibility this summer (and next?). His last contract was the "fill in the blank" one and he repaid the Spurs handsomely. This time around, he needs to get Ray Allen dollars and nothing more.

Obviously, Spurs fans should hope he decided to take as small a paycheck as possible so that other pieces could be added .... but since he's obviously not going to ask more than $10 million per season, I can't be mad at the number he selected.

Agree

only shot at ak47 is convincing him to take MLE

:lmao

back to back championships baby here we come!!!!

go out in style :flag:

$4.8m would be nice and keeping him getting more than all but TP/TD and now Tiago.

Weird how many are cool with Manu getting overpaid again.

im glad he's returning but like Bruno said, hopefully 6 million is tops, if this team wants to win.

At this point it doesnt matter what his salary is. Spurs will only have the MLE to work with

Wrong

At this point, Bonner's contract, how tradeable is it, or if the Spurs amnesty him are a bigger pivot as far as what the Spurs want to do...
