[NuGGeTs-FaN]

how many Spurs fans would turn down Manu for Roy? (ignoring the salary factor of course )

[Blackjack]

great!now talking about tradinge THE ONLY ONE SPUR whom really wants to win!

Yeah, that Duncan dude sure aint about winning.

[Ghazi]

Knee jerk.

I wouldn't trade away any part of a championship core... Manu/Parker/Duncan has proven to be a championship core 3 times.

You try to compliment the core, not change the core.

I think the Spurs problem is overreliance on 3-PT shots and lack of FTA's, fast break points, and points in the paint... "easy offense" if you will.

I can't believe how much some Spurs fans continue to underrate and underappreciate Manu AND Parker. I could understand if we hadn't really experienced life without them lately but they were both just out and we saw firsthand what the team was like without them. And yet we still want to trade both of them/complain about them? Yeah, I get frustrated with some of what they do on the court but they do so much more good than bad for this team. So much more. It's like a 120938120328 to 1 ratio.

[phyzik]

I think there should be a flag under peoples names for being morons. You dont trade a talent like Manu Ginobilli for the price we are paying for him.... YOU WILL NEVER GET EQUAL TRADE VALUE FOR HIS CONTRACT AND CONTRIBUTIONS!!!!

I ING HATE BAND WAGON FANS!!! !!!

How funny would it have been for Cowboy fans to have asked for Smith, Irvin or Aikman to be traded during their run? The main difference is that Tony and Manu are underpaid and under-appreciated because of their low-key personalities. The stats have been there along with the championships, but just like Timmy they have a low entertainment value to the average fan.

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu's minutes should simply be curtailed until he gets back to full strength.

Coming back after the injury, he's playing too many minutes at this point.

Give Mason more looks and minutes. Yes, perhaps he's not ready yet and is learning the Spurs system, but this is a great chance for us to work him into the fold.

[robot89]

Fuuuuuck Yooooooou!!!!

[Manufan909]

No, but you could say that a guy that had multiple surgeries to be 'damaged goods'. I mean, how can you even say a guy is damaged goods when he has played over 550 games in basically 6 years... and that without counting the games he has played for his national team.



What do you mean 'not recovered'? He has played for 12 games in a row, he's got not a single limp on his leg. Had a 27 point game. Sure, he just got dropped in a team with new guys, and it takes games to get back in shape... I don't think he's doing anything different than any other year... and BTW, he's actually shooting a better percentage than his entire career...

Does he still have his best % ever, after tonights game of 33% from the field?

[cherylsteele]

well, similar to the reason we won't be winning another le with Elliott on the roster. He has a better chance of getting injured again then playing like the manu of 07 or 05, his best years are behind him, and his style of play doesn't age well

This has got to be the dumbest post of the thread.
You are comparing Elliott (retired)
To Manu (not retired).

Apples and oranges.

I can't disagree with you...especially on the 3-pt shots.
Even when they win I wish they would drive the lane more and try to draw more fouls.

i still feel posters shouldn't be able to start new threads with less than 100 posts...

[peskypesky]

I hate to say it, but might be cool with a trade of Manu for Chris Kaman.

[angelbelow]

wtf? who are you going to get thats equal to him at his contract value. NO ONE. in fact, not within 5 million.

[SpursPreacher]

Step away from the ledge and crack slowly.

[The_Game]

I know manu is struggling right now but it would be stupid to trade him.

It's not that he is struggling he is just not all that great, he is a good player but no where near superstar level and any guys who aren't top 10 should be traded if the right deal came along

Manu has been overrated by many for years.

[temujin]

1) There are winners and loosers. Ginobili is a winner. Born so. He'll be a winner when 55.

2) He has MADE IT PERFECTLY clear already that he would NOT be playing just for any freaking NBA team that just contributes to the show without having any serious purpose of winning.

3) There several Euro teams that would give him 6M (Euros)/year.

4) The Spurs FA -and Popovich himself- has proven zillion times NOT to be idiots.

Hence, Ginobili is untradeable.

[The_Game]

Only idiotic spur fans who have no clue about basketball would turn that down.

[temujin]

Oh, and the 6M (Euros) would be AFTER taxes.

[temujin]

If I were Portland GM I would carry freaking Roy on my own shoulders for the 1500 miles to San Antonio, to get Ginobili.
He is not going to do that, hence the perpetual loosing status of the franchise.
