Nice. Spurs sign Ginobili for $2.8 million while Belinielli costs $6.3 million. :lol
Manu!!!!!!!:flag:
Great to see the 3rd best Spur of all-time back for another season.
Awesome, final piece to the offseason puzzle that included signing:
Tim Duncan, LaMarcus Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, David West, Boban Marjanovic, Jonathon Simmons + trading for McCallum.
oh and Coach B

Second only to DRob. So happy that Manu is back.Quote:

I think he plays 2 if spurs win it all
one if not

Hopefully.
Interesting that there is no sign of Kobe or Wade on this list.Quote:

Damn glad to see that picture of him signing. The team is just in better hands with him on the team. Break some more records before you go, btw.
I thought that was a full-body cast at first glance...Quote:

Not surprisingly, it looks like Manu took the room exception.
So is Manu paid more than Tim this year?
Nah,5.75 for two years,so 2.8something a yearQuote:

Right, but for the majority of his career, he's been a legit star mostly going against true bench players and doing so with managed minutes. That's a big advantage.Quote:

The perception that he played the majority of his minutes against bench talent is not really true.
He played a lot more than the typical player of or above his caliber.Quote:

This is certainly true.Quote:

Let's say Manu would have started instead of coming off the bench, do you really think his numbers would have changed so dramatically to prevent him from still toping that list? Manu's netRtg in '05 when he started the whole season is 16.6 :lmao
