I'm just glad you have no say whatsoever in talent evaluation...
Stick to nuthugging TP and leave Manu alone.
because he would not sign

So I go back to my first question: Who?
Prince doesn't meet the standard you set and there is no way the Nuggets package Smith's cap-friendly contract in deal for Manu.
So what star player that approximates Manu's 2009 production can the Spurs get for Manu?
JR Smith is not a star player... and neither is Birdman... I just don't know what ducks is smoking.
The offer was taken off the table when he refused to miss the Olympics
Sad truth is our roster flat out sucked in the playoffs and we lost badly to a mediocre Dallas team.
Another sad truth is if Duncan can't move any better than Kurt Thomas next year, we are in trouble no matter what.
That is the elephant in the room. If the Duncan we see for the next three years is the Duncan we saw for most of March and April, we can start talking about the 2012 plan because there are no FO moves that can overcome that sad possibility.
No joke. I was looking at some old highlights of Duncan, and it is amazing the difference. I mean I knew he was not right, but it amazing how light on his feet he was and he actually did have some hops. I hope he can get a little bit of that back, because the no-elevation, elbow-your-way-to-get-off-a-jumper Duncan I saw in the last game while gritty, was painful to watch.
The elevation might not get a lot better. Tim might just be moving into a stage in his career where he gets off more with straight up footwork and body positioning than anything else. He's still an elite player though and is one year removed from torching his way through the playoffs. He was kicking some major keister in the 3rd quarter of game 1 as well.

His agent, Herb Rudoy, confirmed the delay in negotiations for an extension.
“Contract negotiations for an extension have been put off until after the surgery,” Rudoy said. “The Spurs want to see how he recovers from the surgery.”
Don't worry, I think know Manu will be wiser about his body. And no doubt that he'll come out stronger next season. And those trade Manu threads will be all gone.
My apologies...when I said a whole bunch of people, I meant this forum and on Spursreport.com are saying this.
def not trade manu.
we should see what he can still provide this coming season
I remember that. What troubles me now is the new injury they didn't even have a gameplan to treat. I don't think the ankle surgery was that bad, just a nagging thing he could not ignore anymore. The Spurs would have been fools to resign Manu at his age when he might not be able to play at the same level again.
I think both Duncan and Ginobili need to focus on flexibility training, yoga, stretching, and getting plenty of rest. A little P90X wouldn't hurt either.
Manu for Scola ...................

LOL at the Birdman and JR Smith making the Spurs le Contenders.![]()
he is a star
not superstar
manu is no longer a superstar
No...they didn't. The Spurs said they weren't going to sign him before he went to play. They wanted to renegotiate afterwards, in case he got hurt.
JR Smith is a Roger Mason without a conscience. He's a role player at best.
Says who? you?
You sure were very quiet when he was putting up 30 point games before the fracture...
Maybe we should trade Tony for Birdman, JR Smith AND Prince...
Hill can run the point now, we don't need Tony anymore...
says his play
Even if this true, do you know what level of play Manu will be capable of in the future?
