I hope he complies without a fight tbh. I know he wants a last tourney as farewell but if it's not fully healed he should just go to a beach with the family and relax. Even though NT Gino is one of my favorite versions I do want the Spurs to go all in to try to repeat.
IIRC, the only thing he can do is appeal to the Spurs to reverse course... not even sure the NBPA can do anything about it.
FIBA won't let him play as long as the franchise says he's injured.
No, if Manu retires from the Spurs, can play the WC.Quote:

Many people aren't giving much credence to the idea that this is actually a mutual decision by Manu and the Spurs, because it allows Manu to show his desire to play and lets the Spurs be the scapegoat, instead of Manu feeling the backlash of letting down his country.
Does the injury play a factor? Yes. Could Manu probably play through it? Yes.
But at this point, Manu knows the risks of further injury and fatigue as well as anybody in the league. He's broken a bone playing FIBA basketball, and spent many a season injury-riddled following national play. I'm sure Manu doesn't want to let down his country...but I'm sure he also appreciates the Spurs decision regarding his overall health and NBA career. And I have no doubt he bleeds silver and black, so I'm sure he understands that aspect as well.
Do you even Spur?Quote:

To all the ones who are thinking this is CIA Pop covering up Manuīs ass, I say: after all these years, you donīt know Manu at all if you think he is not brave enough to speak out loud about what he thinks and what he wants or doesnīt want to do with his life.Quote:

In my book Manu have nothing to prove to argentinian fans, but he is a grown man, he just did an amazing job to help the Spurs to get another championship, and he wants to play with his brothers, you can be pretty sure he is not happy with the spurs decision, and has nothing to do with him dissaponting fans in Argentina.

Manu's desire to play for NT with an injury is very similar to how he wants to go crazy on a drive to the basket without any jump or athleticism left in his body..That's always been his personality..That's Manu..
SMH at all these conspiracies..
Manu doesnīt owe a nickel to anyone, nor to Argentina, nor to SA.
He is trying to say goodbye to all the things he cared the most during his basketball career. If he wanted to play for Argentina, I am just sad he canīt make it, Period.
So many ugly fans around here...
He signed a contract with the Spurs, he owes them something.Quote:

Just because a letter was sent doesn't mean a phone call wasn't also made.
