That's a huge contract and I still worry about Manu's longevity, but it's pretty hard to argue he's not playing up to that level of pay right now. It's good to have that out of the way, and I'm also happy to see Holt and the ownership group are gearing to compete for #5 for the rest of Tim's career too.
I love manu that's my dogg!!!!!!!!
I dig.
This quote is very interesting, Tony on his last year, RJ on his last year....big $$$ for next summer.
now to celebrate we need him to torch the Suns
Capspace is grossly overrated, especially if the owners can get non-guaranteed deals that would basically allow the Lakers and Knicks to play the free-agent market every single season.
Overall, I'm glad as this got done. I didn't think Manu was capable of playing at this level early on when he was having a disappointing season, but he's convinced me now.
The "Over 36" rule is a complicated one that I (along with 99.9% of the basketball public) don't really understand. I get the basic idea that it's there to keep players and owners from gaming the system and giving a player 4 years worth of salary for 3 years worth of work, but I can't find where it actually places a limit on the number of years you can sign an extension for. If you could provide a link, that would be great. Thanks!
great news.
But now that makes our payroll about $68 million for a 2011 roster of
Duncan
Jefferson
Parker
Ginobili
McDyess
Hill
Blair
Hairston
The mandatory minimum is 13 on the roster, right? and max is definitely 15 so that means 5 more mandatory roster spots to fill starting at $68 Million. And still 2 more spots available after that. .........
Holy , I hope Holt and the cap will let us put it together.
For someone who plays all 5 positions at the same time, he probably deserves much more than that but there are health risk factors to consider.
Curious to see how the Spurs manage their money this Summer. They have to go after Splitter as that's what RC has stated they want to do, but if they do that's a lot of money they will be spending, espcially if they sign a first round draft pick.
Do they let Bonner walk if he wants too much? Do they keep their draft pick? I would hope so, but it's not my money. Curious to see what happens...

The Over-36 rule also applies to extensions and renegotiations. They always start counting from the date the extension or renegotiation is signed. For example, if a contract with two years remaining is extended by three years, it's counted as a five-year contract
Fantastic news! Glad to hear Manu Ginobili will be staying right where he belongs, and he will no longer have this decision weighing on him.
Ginobili earned this new contract by being patient through his recovery and by proving that he still had a superstar level ability left in him. If the Spurs hadn't thrown these dollars at Manu, someone else would've, and I just could not stand the thought of watching Manu be Manu against us, rather than for us.

The San Antonio Spurs and guard Manu Ginobili have agreed to a three-year extension worth $38.9 million, a league source confirmed Wednesday.
The deal is the maximum the Spurs are allowed to offer Ginobili under the current collective bargaining agreement, based on Ginobili's current salary and age (32).
Ginobili
The contract will not be completed before Ginobili and the team return to San Antonio from their current road trip and the possibilty remains the deal could fall apart. Whatever concerns the Spurs might have about Ginobili's injury issues over the last few seasons, though, have been allayed by his performance the last two months.
Ginobili said he has been physically fine since the start of the season, but that he had "a mental issue" to overcome about finishing around the rim.
Ginobili has been with San Antonio since 2002. He's averaging 16.6 points and 5.6 assists per game this season.
He could have become a free agent after the 2010 season ends for the Spurs, who are tied for sixth in the Western Conference standings entering Wednesday's games.
Ginobili's value to San Antonio is heightened by the fact that as a Spanish-speaking Argentine, he is immensely popular in San Antonio's Hispanic-rich market.

Awesome News!
Great news. I thought he was done been an elite player, its been awesome seeing him turn it on.
I was asking if a 4th year was possible because of the over-36 rule the other day. And someone said that YOU said that the Spurs COULD offer him a 4th year.
I guess I was misinformed that you had said that, and was correct in my original thinking.
Ya think? Though I'm glad that Manu has been re-signed what does that do to our ability to get other players?
Ian and Mase are gone but we do have some young and therefore inexpensive players coming into training camp next year.
What will this do concerning the Splitter situation? Is there enough money to sign him? If not then he is pretty much either in Euroland to stay for several more years or a trade asset.
If I wasn't a Manu homer, or if I was Holt, I would not like the pricetag.
But I kinda am, so I'll just be happy
Bruno beat me to it.
Great news on the Manu front. It had to be done, everyone knew it had to get done, and Holt stepped up and got it done.
It's a win-win (on and off the court).
Well deserved ...
Manu has the biggest sack on the team besides TIM ...
Once more Holt steps up. Great news. The Spurs were wise to settle things early and not wait for Manu to become a FA.. then who knows what crazy offers would be thrown at Manu?
Yes and no.I was asking if a 4th year was possible because of the over-36 rule the other day. And someone said that YOU said that the Spurs COULD offer him a 4th year.

Spurs could have offer him a 4 years contract this summer when Manu would have been a FA. Other teams would have been limited to 3 years contract. However, the max length Spurs can offer for an extension is 3 years.
I think George Hill becoming such a good player had something to do with it as well. With Hill being a lock for a solid wing player, potential All star, you can give manu 30 minutes a night and he doesnt have to carry the team as Hill continues to develop. I really like this team going into next year, esp. if parker can stay healthy and rest all summer, and become 2008 parker, and IF they can bring in another big, they need another big man to protect the paint.
