Pop should just confirm that they are not playing and stop ing with the reporters and writers.
Kinda makes you think about trading that expiring contract at the deadline doesn't it?

What makes you so sure that Parker won't play? And why should Pop rush to give Sloan that info?
Parker better not play..
Not only for injury concerns, but the guy needs some rest..
Parker reaggravated his injury. We know Parker wants to play through the injury and unless Pop gives a 100% negative, he is probably going to try to play. Who cares about Sloan? I bet he does not even want his players to know Parker is not playing.
Maybe that was the plan though to give him tonight off and let him run vs the Jazz.
My idea was to send him to Detroit straight up for Rip Hamilton...but , now he is hurt too.
Injury insurance would have been trading for Stephen Jackson.This is why we got Ginobili Insurance right? Richard Jefferson, will you kindly explode against the Jazz tomorrow? Thank you Richard Jefferson.
I''m sure Manu really hates the idea of an uncertain future, all hinging on his durability this season--what with news of the twins, desiring to settle down in SA locking up the re-signing as the ideal.
This is not only going to be physically hampering, I don't know how he's going to be "mentally" when he returns from this injury. His heads probably going to be in the clouds in the long term now. Up until now, he still played heady, confidently and compe ively with leadership in facilitating the offense. Now he's going to be super passive.
The only silver lining is this is November and not right before the playoffs. Hopefully things tip in the Spurs favor in the coming months.
poor baby
if he was smart with his money he would not worry about getting another fat contract
he turned done the extension talks not the spurs
hard to feel bad for him with the extension
feel bad for him for injury though
Welcome to free agency 2010, Manu
I'm fairly sure it's safe to say he's smarter with his money than you are.
And he didn't turn down any extensions talk, the Spurs did.
Lastly, I really doubt a contract extension is what's on his mind right about now.
no parker and no manu for tonight does not equal a loss but the reserves have to step up and the defense has to be solid tonight.
He said in his website he won't
well Manu was clearly in pain which means he is at least 2-3 weeks out which means a bigger possibility of serious injury that could pretty much sit him down for months if not the rest of the season.
sad, cause without a healthy Manu this team isn't winning jack
This may sound weird, but Peter Burns and Andy made an awesome point this morning. As Spurs Fans we love Manu Ginobili. Many of us love him more than Parker obviously and even Duncan. We would hate to see him leave, but at the same time business is business and he is not worth $10million sitting on the bench wearing a suit. Peter and Andy pointed out, that each time Ginobili gets hurt; better yet for each limp he loses money and his Value on the market goes down. The sorry teams will pay him good money. But Manu wants to win and keep winning. None of the good teams are going to give him a large 5yr contract. But the Spurs can probably get away with 3yrs at the MLE with the 3rd yr being partially guaranteed. That way if he wants to retire a spur he can. At the start of the season Ginobili probably couldve demanded an extension for a large contract for $8 million a year. With each injury, that $8-9 million a year gig starts to chip away. The spurs know it and Manu knows it. Thats the good thing. At $5million we could have a guy who is injured occasionally and at the same time an unexpensive x-factor/allstar that changes the dynamics of a predictable team.
