"creative" idea for manu's next contract

[clubalien]

i think manu wants to renew his contract and for maybe 4 years. spurs are fearful he will be injured and hurt their cap.
solution:get him a 4 year contract for vet min
and a 80M CONTRACT as Directory of International relations for the spurs

maunu=long term contract
manu=paid well
spurs=manu without worry of cap

You're gonna catch flack for this thread le.

Apparently you aren't familiar with ethical violations by cir venting the CBA.

This would be a great idea if Kevin McHale were the Spurs GM.

I see a lock in this thread's future.

Non-starter. CBA violation.

Please sit down and shut up.

The guy the Spurs got from the Houston area was Dennis Lindsey, not Jeff Skilling.

I don;t see how it can be a CBA violation if you cannot prove it.

That stops an organization from hiring ex players.

What if the president of Nike was a laker fan... would the NBA not allow lebron a 50 M shoe contract bonus if he signs with a bigger media market team.

I'm sure someone will explain it all to you soon... I'll just insert a random post here.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

I can't believe you are still here. If anything what you are saying is stupider than what you were saying before. And that's a very high bar of stupidity.

So what? If Manu Ginobili retires from the Spurs he can have these jobs too. I don't think that's what he or the Spurs has in mind, do you?

I don't see how it can be a CBA violation if you cannot prove it.

Oh, OK, we'll just give him a giant pile of money UNDER THE TABLE. Are you crazy? (a), the Spurs don't operate this way. (b), they'd be sure to be found out, and extremely harsh penalties would ensue.

That stops an organization from hiring ex players.

Completely false.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with your proposal, which is that the Spurs pay him a salary based on having a job with the Spurs organization in addition to him being a player for the Spurs. The NBA has nothing to say about players' shoe contracts.

That said... Nike is a publicly traded company. The president has a duty to the stockholders. The president cannot arbitrarily give away the companies' money without there being a plan for there being a return on that money, or he will surely be fired, and perhaps even jailed for financial fraud.

They could exploit a loophole in the collective bargaining agreement, similar to how they structured McDyess's contract, by giving Ginobili a 3rd or 4th (if he insists on 3 guaranteed years) year that is partially guaranteed. So they could pay him fair market value, which is probably $11-13 million a season, then they could guarantee only, say, $1 million for final year (again, 3rd or 4th) and partially guarantee the contract, which would still allow him to make fair market value, just spread out throughout an extra year to help ease the Spurs salary cap burden/luxury tax bill.
