If Manu or TP play for their NT this summer, I'd officially advocate a trade (or not re-signing). The Spurs window may very well close after next season. Can't F that up by playing in the summer.
Already may have F'ed up this season . . .

According to Ole, Argentina's most important sports newspaper, Manu's just waiting the date to be closer to announce his absence from Argentina's National Team.

Great news, I hope TP won't play and if Tiago sign he won't play either
I know, I know... its just that the timing is a bit su ious, why would the newspaper announce just now that he will annonuce his absence in some time..
I can see Manu asking the newspaper to publish that to send a (good) message to the FO.
No surprises here. Manu is playing for a contract(whether it be with the Spurs or elsewhere) and the team he signs with is going to want some sort of verbal guarantee that he is not going to risk his health over the summer.
Tony is walking a tight rope with this. Unfortunately everyone now has a speed demon to counter Tony, seems like the entire league has caught up now.
2 years too late Manu.....
Good for his proffesional career.
Bad for us fans of our NT.
I agree. Parker completely ed the team over this season.
As for Manu, no he's not playing when he's going to be shopping for a new contract. How noble of him.
+1
Funny how his passion for his country has been tempered now that he's been introduced to the wonderful world of business.
I saw this post coming, I wanted to post up a prevent against this article thread but I felt it was too dumb:
Though Ole is Arg most important sports newspaper it does not has good basketball sources and writers (one once wrote Manu as right handed..)
If you could read the article it's just a bunch of fact supposals and I don't where they got "the confirmation" that Manu won't be playing. They don't even say "according to X source". They're just staying it by saying he's going to have kids, and his contract situation will be difficult. Nothing to take very serious. Any of us knew that already.
Becareful with Ole.
Great news.....2 years too late. Manu shouldnt have played in the 08' Olympics. His injury really screwed the Spurs over for the past 2 seasons...
o? anybody at home?
His wife is pregnant. The babies are coming in June
What does that have to do with playing on the 28th of August? Manu's one of my favorite players all-time, but it's pretty clear he doesn't want to lower his market value on what will probably be his last contract.
He is thinking about his future and FAMILY, no less. What do you want? He has no clue of what will happen.
BB made references to raping Steve Kerr's daughters in another thread so that probably gives you an idea how he feels about family, which is not very much.
Even if Manu wasn't playing because he's shopping for a new contract, why would that matter?..of course Manu SHOULD think about his future from a financial standpoint..it's a business, it's all about the $..having pride and love for the game is nice and all, but you can't buy houses and cars with pride and love..
Both parties need to think about $ here..so Manu not playing for the NT is good for both parties..
It was a joke; way to take it out of context, dip .
So now you admit he is thinking about his contract here?
It's extremely poor taste to joke about raping anyone's kids. But whatever, poor taste is the norm around here.
Give me a break. The original joke was Kerr might as well offer up his wife in the trade too since Jefferson+Bonner for Stoudemire was such a ridiculous proposition, and I added that it sounded even worse than that.
Yeah, I was thinking "Now that it's HIS cash on the line...."
condsidering he will not sign less for spurs atleast that is what he says now
he better ing not
