Manu for $14 million

Good for Manu, he deserves it and it doesn't matter for cap reasons. Should have got more tbh.

Not sure why they couldn't do a 2nd fully non guaranteed year.

You honestly believe there are 3 other team's better than the spurs? Warriors are obvious favorites, but still Depends on chemistry and how long that takes. Their bench is nothing compared to what it was. Clippers are older and have both star players coming off of Injuries and have never really had a consistent Bench. Spurs starting 5 is better. Thunder lost a top 5 player and a very good rotational big in ibaka. He's a starter, but it kills their rotation. No-one that caliber will be coming off their bench.

Who is going to outplay the spurs with three legitimate all stars? Like pau or not, he has always been a beast on the offensive end and consistent defensively even if people make up bad defense narratives. Almost ALL bigs are at a disadvantage away from basket. Couple might be able to make a play here and there. Kawhi will be better, lma wil be better now that he knows the system. Danny will be Better, he got his confidence back in the playoffs. Parker hopefully won't be as fat.

Spurs are looking good in the west. They upgraded their bigs across the board besides back up pf, which Anderson is likely to play. Mills will be healthier. Manu says he's healthier than he has been in couple years.
Really no reason to believe a big drop off is coming in the form of "rebuilding."

They are contending.

Players with full Bird Rights on a one year contract, like Manu, can't be traded without their consent. He would lose that protection by adding a second year.

True, but surely there's enough trust between him and PATFO for this not to matter.

Nice fuck-you-Spurs gesture by Brett for offering Manu 14M :lol

Well, either the Spurs didn't ask for a 2nd non guaranteed year, or they did and Manu said no. I can't come up with a good reason why they wouldn't have asked, but there is one logical reason for Manu to refuse if they did. We'll never know.

Not only that, all that season he was crap, like he didn't demand from himself the best, wasn't committed enough to the team like he used to, like he had everything else in mind but winning with the team, until it was too late and he costs us and Timmy the most exciting title ever that we will grief about it forever...

Manu signing for $14 mil, not $10 mil.

Jimmer signed for 0

gahhhdamn

Good for Manu, well deserved money. It doesnt matter at all for Spurs` cap situation. Holt will probably pay some taxes for that.

Manu always got low balled by the Spurs.... he deserves this.

Hispanic heritage contract

Manu and TP paid about the same for this year. With MG, the bench has a chance to be effective. A lot of young guys will have to produce......

They're well under the tax. At least $3-4 mil.

So Manu will earn money, and Spurs won`t pay any fines. Why would anybody have something against that ? Jelous over other guy earnings ?

The Colangelos.

Seems like the Spurs don't have many more moves left to make and can pay Manu for the years of "cheap" service.

Next year his contract is off and he can retire.

Good on him. That's a pretty sweet total to add to the pension fund.

I have no problem with this. Lets hope he stays healthy all year and helps the young guys develop.

Spurs is a class organization giving tribute to Manu for what he has meant to the organization, unlike teams like the Heat who would choose to lose the organization's All-time greatest player on Wade just to save measly dollars and showing ungratefulness for the guy's sacrifices in the past to get them championships. Holt and his managements are truly well above the rest of the organizations. :flag:

Loyalty and sacrifice pays.
