    Well, this should again assure that the Spurs' iconic players will primarily have played only for the Spurs -- David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, maybe Tony Parker.

    I like that.
    Not sure if Parker will end up on that list when he's done...

    Best news of the year. Manu is worth the ticket price for fans and an important part to this teams success. Will he stay healthy? Maybe, but Pop will manage his minutes and he won't play this Summer, so that helps.
    I am stoked that Manu remains a Spur.

    Why am I not surprised Ludden broke the story?

    In the face of more lux tax, Ownership steps up again. Solid.

    Am i hearing this right now? some of you actually complaining he got 40 mill contract for 3 years. Kobe not the kobe a year ago but he still got paid like 90 mill and we are complaining about Manu after he carried us in to the playoffs. OMG.

    please stop calling your self a spurs fans. Yeah he was injured but not now. I think he wont play in WC and if we needs to win another ring, we need the same team back and Manu can take us there.

    If he enters the free agency he will get paid lot more. At least he loves this team way more than some of you do to sign back with us.

    Manu was underpaid for the past 6 years. He deserves it. Well done.

    However, they should have signed him 3 months ago and it would have been under 10 million a season.

    Spurs chairman Peter Holt made it clear he wanted to re-sign Ginobili, even though the small-market team is expected to pay a luxury tax of about $10 million this season.
    I wonder how season ticket renewals are going. I know of people who would not renew until they were sure Manu would still be a Spur.

    Spurs are adding D-League talent to keep the cost down, not a bad re-sign....

    *crosses fingers that manu decides to retire from NT play*

    yep, he's been underpaid. So (maybe) overpaying him now is justified.

    Anyway, he's gotta put food on his family.
    I would not have supported the extension had I known Manu had weird food fetishes.

    splitter was going to be a MLE signing either way, so the only issue is whether the ownership is willing to pay 12m/year for splitter (about 6 to splitter, but double with tax).

    If y'all read the first pages of the thread there i gave you the info that He'll be announcing (in 15 days) that he won't play in Turkey (probably the only way that changes is if the Spurs win it all this year) and that he'll probably play the Olympic qualifiers in Argentina in 2012 (if Argentina is not W Champ without him ) and the Olympics if they do qualify

    I don't get it. Manu WILL play in world's IF Spurs win it all? and he WON"T if they don't?

    doesn't make sense

    Expected. I said it over and over again, Ginobili's re-signing is going to net him between $10 M and $13 M per year, and looks like I was right.

    I didn't understand all of these people running around screaming "Manu for MLE"

    If kobe bryant gets $30 M per year, Ginobili deserves $10-12M/year.

    Nah, we get LeBron to sign a minimum contract and then give him 20M/yr to be Chief of Media Relations.

    I'm happy but oh man I feel like all the NBA salaries are about to shift way down and pretty soon this will look like a bloated deal. We may have trouble re-signing Hill and Blair down the line.

    Bright spot is it looks like Manu will retire a Spur. That makes me really happy. He's one of a kind talent, great leader, and the heart of the Spurs (IMHO).

    No absolutely not. We should still be able to sign lebron on a penny pinchers salary and maybe still may have enough left over to sign Bosh.

    not at all. Lebron can share MLE with Splitter.

    Can the Spurs afford to sign Splitter and keep Manu, RJ, and McDyess?

    If the Spurs can pry away Splitter, McdDyess is out the door.
