Trading Manu---sequ squared!

[lotr1trekkie]

First of all, you can't get maximum value for any injured player. You deal from strength not panic.
Second, Manu might not be the Best player in the league but he is absolutely the most unique! Manu can beat you with scoring, defense, passing, and shear will to win. Triple Plus he is not a head case like many of the starters on ther Redeem Team. I don't worship any athlete but I have to say that Manu is too special to get rid of until his retirement ceremony at the AT&T Center. For those posters too young to remember Jerry Sloan, Manu is exactly like Sloan internally--- except he has an artist's gift for the game and greater athleticism. Sloan has molded the Jazz in his own image all these years and would probably give up almost anything to coach Manu.
Finally, Manu may have to sit out half this season or get surgery and miss all of it but he is worth waiting for because the Spurs aren't getting LeBron, Wade or Bosh in 2010 unless those players are willing to SACRIFICE to play with Tim. Don't bet on it!

[MiamiHeat]

Yup, this is true.

Basically, manu ed the spurs in more ways than one.

In the future, the NBA and the United States teams will remember these types of incidents when signing foreign players.

If they want to come to the USA and make millions more than they can make anywhere else, if they want to play in the best league in the world, if they want to play in the most FAMOUS league in the world, then they will need to sign contract stipulations in the future.

Take it or go back to your ty country or your italian league, es.

They will all fall in line, believe me. They all want to make millions and get famous playing in the NBA.

Trade Manu x T-Mac to finally make the Rockets contenders, why stopping at half the job giving away just Scola

[DMX7]

Of course you don't trade Manu. Besides, his trade value is worth nothing right now. No one wants a guy making 10+ million who might not even play half a season and will probably never make it through another extended post-season without that chronic injury.

You definitely have the most xenophobic posts in this forum. Take it back to your ty country?

You know, it's actually possible to love your own country without being insulting about every other country. The founding fathers of this country were original thinkers because they incorporated the political philosophies of French, English, Romans, Greeks, and many others in a way that had never been attempted before. Maybe you've forgotten, but there are Americans playing in the Olympics, too-- not just foreigners.

The boss named Pop said that manu shouldnt play this summer because the spurs pay his paycheck.Now he didnt listen to the boss.Now where got nobody worth playing this offseason and where going into the season with tony and tim and bowen.

Where ed ,no where double ed thanks manu.

[mrspurs]

Manu's a quick healer. He'll be fine. If the Jazz are built in the image of Jerry Sloan, then pardon my interpretation. The Jazz are not Champions. Where are the Banners that say Championship? And I dont mean any disrepect to Jerry by that either. But Ill be honest, if I were a Jazz fan, i woulda been asking for Jerry to be fired many years ago. How Jerry hasnt gotten fired in my books is a miracle. Manu however, is a proven Champion.

Im convinced after reading your post that you are absolutely a Moron and a Racist.

Dont even get started with me because I'll take you to school in this forum...try me.

Yup, this is true.

lol no they wont. You think any club would pass up a player like manu because they want international play in their contract? It's basic statistics, the reward far far outweighs the tiny risk of injury. Of every single player in the olympics, how many have been injured to the point of affecting their play in the next year? 1-2%? You think a club won't take a 98% chance of everything going fine?

[Banzai]

Manu will be a Spur until he retires. I just can't see Manu being traded.

Your post makes no sense. D-Wade-- the guy in your own signature-- is playing in the olympics! Should he "fall in line" too? Or is he a great patriot for risking his health and possibly " ing over" the Heat, especially since he missed many more games last season than Manu did?

[diego]

miamiheat is actually pretty funny.

its illegal to make that contract stipulation, yet he insists like a two year old thinking because he posts it in a message board its going to happen.


plus, he's an expert on this subject.

he complains about manu's injury ing the spurs, when by that logic, dwayne wade has ed the Heat a million times over. how old is wade? 23? I actually worked this out. Wade has missed 26% of his possible career games, manu 12%. wade > manu, indeed.

Zo's illness ed the heat pretty good too. what was it, 3 years paying his hospital bills and 105M contract? the Heat looked real good then too.

and dont forget mashburn, who played about 45 games a season as the 2nd highest paid player on the team.

i'm sick right now, so i'll be needing more comedy later. keep the hits coming miamiheat.

[byrontx]

People like miami make it embarassing to be an American.

[DarkMaverick]

MiamiHeat is a freaking re to post something like that. I dare him to reply so I can take this sorry PoS to school.

[lotr1trekkie]

Let's name every player in the NBA making more than Manu that you wouldn't trade him for heads up! I expect a long list experts.

[Sissiborgo]

Of course you don't trade Manu. Besides, his trade value is worth nothing right now. No one wants a guy making 10+ million who might not even play half a season and will probably never make it through another extended post-season without that chronic injury.

That's right and stop complaining get over it we are the big three so live with it he can heal like everyone else stupit thread!...

I don't think they'll shop him around, but I think they will actually listen to offers now, and would pull the trigger on the right deal. I don't think they would have traded him for anyone but Kobe or LeBron before, but I think he's no longer untouchable.

To the Laker fan that said he would never be traded and would finish his career a Spur, HOF SG George Gervin was traded and didn't finish his career in SA. Never is a long time.

exstatic owns the front office?

[Cherry]

He will never be traded.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

You never know.

[Cherry]

Sometimes, some fans here make me wish that Manu plays for Miami, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston or any other place were nobody talks about what he likes to do in the summer.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

They probably would if he was on their team.
