One of the things the Spurs probably most liked about D. Murray is his relentless (and sometimes reckless) offensive aggression... it's makes sense to bring back Manu for a year to help mentor a 19 yr old who fits that mold.

Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
Spurs will have to find a way to pay him 30/2 player option for season 2

Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
Makes you appreciate Tim even more. Tim is the goat. Manu wants to get re-paid :lol

But if we're offering 3 mil or so and some team who has some young guys who need a mentor or someone to institute proper culture, etc or some club just spiteful with money (like Dallas) offers Manu like 9 million for a one year contract, one wonders if it would be too good for Gino to hold back. He might not want to leave but as this is likely his last contract...
Not saying it will happen just a hypothetical.
If we strike out on Durant, Manu will get paid after Pop has the agreement with Boban, and the rookies. I do believe he opted out of his contract to get paid more if we can afford it.
I mean if we are bringing the merry band back + rookies we might as well pay Manu.

Point 2 is the one that worries me. It's all too easy for Pop to continue to rely on Manu and not develop young players.
Couldn't agree more. Next season it is imperative that the Spurs find out what they have in Kyle, Simmons even Boban and possibly a eurostash or two.

Two things they have mentioned:
1. he's an athletic young guard and we need that
2. he has size and length to play two positions, he will be versatile
Everything else is a project but he's 19. He is still young enough to improve a whole lot in the coming seasons, so long as people understand he's not ready to come in and light it up right off the start.

Okay by me. Since our playoff ouster I have said that next season would be a mini-tank with the current roster. Without completely gutting the team the Spurs simply could not clear enough cap room this season to acquire the pieces to be a legit title contender. But next season could see us free up a lot of space.

Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
I just don't know if it's accurate to say Manu or Pop is holding back young players...
Manu doesn't play big minutes or 82 games a year. It's on these guys to come in and with the minutes they're given, earn them and make the most of them. If they can come in and consistently play well, (not to mention we don't know what happens in the practice and stuff behind the scenes) then they will play more. It would actually help give a guy like Manu a chance to have fresher legs later in the season if guys like Simmons/Anderson play well consistently, on both ends of the court.

Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
Has anyone considered the reason that 38 year old Manu is still the 6th man off the bench is b/c he is still better than the young players on the roster?
I know SA girl has a boner for KA, but he sucks. Sure we can give him more playing time, but at this point he hasn't shown me any reason to believe he can do more than Manu can. Same can be said for Simmons.
-
Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
Well of course KAs got to do better, no one, even fans, have said otherwise. Im glad we havent picked up any FAs. Bring back Timmy and Manu for one more ride, see what we have with who we have and get some FAs next season. I like next seasons batch anyways

It makes his passing less effective and more predictable. He also started settling for midrange jumpers too much. They are ugly as shite and even worse than TP's.
Great post :tu
If this fucker gets paid more than the vets min.... :lmao

This, tbh. Some part of Pop prolly wants either KA and/or Simmons to force him to give them more minutes, kinda like Green did in his breakout season.

Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
fuck manu if he wants a payday. tosb already preventing the youth movement, now he wants to take more cap space than he is worth

Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
With this contracts teams giving out of course he would
He is greedy

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

He wants paid
