Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
Glad he is back. if there is anyone who can adjust to a diminished role its a man who came off the bench when he could've started for any other team. I just wish he wouldn't play in the dam Olympics.

With Manu coming back, imo Tim's a lock to return. I believe last year when Manu was considering retirement, TD convinced him to stay.

Agreed, however, people don't usually complain nor focus on regular season. They focus on the playoff performance, successes and failures. So, 8th in most turnovers per 100 trips doesn't stand out at all.

Eagerly awaiting translations but from what I can tell, there are some interesting things open for speculation even if its rather pointless because we will know what will happen soon enough.

This is is like Warriors fans hating Steph for shitting the bed this year. It's hard to win chips.
No doubt about '14 and Manus contribution to it. One of the best moments of my sports viewing life, and Ive been lucky. But still, with all the crap TP gets on these boards, if a few things that normally would go right went right, Parker's stature would be bigger. He was kind of robbed of personal glory.
As for Steph, arrogance without winning it all is going to bite you in the ass. Thats why arrogance is so stupid. If you win it all, theres no more to say, if you dont you look stupid.
Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
I will let ElNono do his magic. He did talk to Pop who told him he wants him back but he does mention he's aware of FA and mentioned that he will wait to see what happens with Durant, but that the Spurs are also looking at a center. He didn't seem to me like he would discard the possibility of playing for another team if the $ is not right, although his priority is SA.
He does sound like he's hearing offers from other teams and he like feels he could potentially do more than this one year if he reaches July of 2017 feeling basically the same.

Or maybe Manu deliberately didn't write that sentence? My translation says Pop saying "Yes I talked to Pop told me he loved me" which is more open, more dramatic and maybe more goodbye?
There might not be anything more than the vet min from the Spurs but from other teams between 10-15 million. Look at what Crawford is getting and the smart GMs in the league knows that Manu's impact always and forever surpasses his, all the smart numbers say that...
Manu even opens another door by talking about being open to playing more years which opens even more possibilities when it comes to contracts.
It's going to be very very interesting.
EDIT:
Ty Nono as always for the translation and you also come up with "Pop: he told me he wanted me back" which is clear and great to hear also

What sentence? Pop said he'd love to have Manu back but Manu mentioned Durant, a center, and the fact he's hearing offers from teams and seeing what else is out there for him, despite the fact he loves Pop and the Spurs and it's been his home for 14 years.

See my edit.
My translation simply offered: "Yes I talked to Pop and he told me he loved me" haha but missed out on the specifics about wanting him back.
I'm glad my translation sucked! :bobo

Lol yes it's basically love to have him back ... it seems both team and coach want to get back together but team is subbordinating Manu to other priorities while Manu is keeping his options open for now. It does sound like he wants to be back with SA but that is not a given at this point and he's not above playing somewhere else. He also sounds content. I think we need some hungry young guys TBH.

As expected, you're full of shit. I figured you'd at least come up with some insane criteria but I guess there's just too much fear in your mind that Kawhi could actually reach said criteria and render your anti-Kawhi bullshit null and void. Thanks for that. :lol

Re: Garcia: Manu Ginobili has announced he's coming back to the NBA
if wonder if he wants to get paid for his final year. He sees all the money being thrown around. Like others have said, my first thought was that he opted out in order to take less, to help the team. Now I am wondering if it may have been for the opposite.

He opted out because of his cap hold, plain and simple.
What the Spurs do now will dictate ManuŽs future, if they sign a good FA and uses al the cap, heŽll sign the vet min, if there is some cap availability, then HeŽll take it.
