Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA

Not good, tbh. This team needs to get younger or we're looking at another sonning by Okalhoma and Warriors :bang

Awesome news! Simmons and Anderson showed some promise in that bench facilitation role, but it's still Manu's unit. Glad they'll get one more year of tutelage under the best sixth man in the history of the NBA.

Didn't say he was coming back to the Spurs. There's still hope!

Maybe some other team will pay him for his worth.... A 10 day contract

Anyone upset about this should be institutionalized, or is clueless about basketball. Great news

I'm assuming that he's coming back for near the min at this point in his career. The Spurs need that to retain flexibility in signing a quality free agent and filling out the roster.

Have you seen how expensive the free agent market has been? The team needs cheap production wherever possible.

Spurs just drafted a young turnover machine that can't shoot, why bring back a 40yr old who does the same thing?

At this point any broken down stiffs on the roster just encourages Poop to ride the old hands in the playoffs too long


:pop: how many championships have you won?

Glad to hear it. He is our best play maker and makes the game easier for those around him. Out of all of the elder Big 3, he played the best last year. TP started out ok and then faded.

He played the worst, actually.

I don't know. It doesn't seem to make any sense. Then again, why do you rehash the same post over and over?

I'm glad to get Manu back, though I'm in the minority here it seems like. One more year to celebrate one of the greatest competitors, passers, and Spurs the NBA has seen.

Unfortunately, Tim hit a damn wall. I wouldn't call that a fade. Tony had some good moments and showed his issues weren't conditioning, he just lost his speed. I thought Manu played pretty well and more under control than he had in the past. Case in point - he passed the ball to Patty instead of trying to shoot the ball over or against Adams in Game 2 of the Semi-finals on the final play. I was a little pissed at the time that he wasn't more aggressive but if he would have had his shot blocked or ripped out of the air - I would have been even more pissed. He's more aware of his body and limitations now.

Is it just coincidence that, right before KD' s decision, Manu returns and Tp proclaims that he wants to be around for many more years?

Shot 1-6 and fouled out in 23 minutes during an elimination game. What a competitor

Good news. We need somebody to speak to Pau in Spanish in the locker room.

Maybe but Parker was under contract for two more seasons anyway and I assume that Kawhi and LMA along with Pop are the biggest draws.

smh ElNono getting payyyyed again

No there are just few idiots who are addicted to relentless trolling saying the same things over and over. On any board with any moderation that would have been reined in and everyone would be much more happy.

The fact is that you can't get better than Manu for less money and those very same trolls who claim that he sucks or whatever use idiocy to back up their claims.

All stats with any credibility has him as a very good player still and if you can't see that he does winning things out there in the court, then try and look harder.

This needs to be Manu's Robert Horry season. Don't play until February and then limited minutes until the playoffs. He was playing really well early in the season but it was obvious he got worn down by the end. If he's fresh and injury-free, he can be a solid contributor.
