Yes.

[MeloHype]

50/50 he played well tonight until he made that re ed turnover

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I think he's back on a one year deal. He's declining, but I think he's too compe ive to go out like this.

[Skull-1]

I hope not

[ElNono]

I don't expect news until the summer... I'll translate if he posts something in that Argie newspaper...

[mikec]

i think he signs something like a 2 year deal with the 2nd year being a player option.

[2centsworth]

People freaked when I said last year he should have retired. Dude is 36 going on 46. I love him but his time has come.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

I hope so.. Still our 2nd best playmaker.

We are better with than without him

[HI-FI]

unfortunately.

I love managing Oakley he's in my favorite clear for years but he's finished he doesn't have it anymore is that due to him not wanting to to be a good player he just can't be a good player at this point

[armynick23]

I would love Manu to hang it up and take over Coach Bud spot as a assistant coach.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

He will play one more year, no way he goes out like this. How soon we forget that he got us past GSW and a game 5 win

[Atl Spur]

Damn auto type!!!

[Atl Spur]

Manu is done!!

This. Manu still has some gas left in the tank (at least as far as being a contributor, not an All-Star), and a 1+1 type contract makes a lot of sense for both parties.

Not sure on money, but I'd lean toward 2 years, $10 million.

[coyotes_geek]

I'd expect a 3 year deal with the 3rd year only being partially guaranteed. Effectively just paying him two years of salary but getting to spread it out over three years on the salary cap, thus lowering his cap figure for this coming year. Spurs did something similar with McDyess and Bowen, IIRC.

[DMX7]

His health is a major concern. I don't know if his body can even last another NBA season unless he's only playing like 30 games in the reg season, and then just hoping he can get it going by playoff time.

+1.

I really hope Manu is back, but I think he is going to retire. No idea how the Spurs will plug the hole.

[DJ Mbenga]

He needs to retire. Jason kidd didnt do it, had to leave in shame as a crap player

[mexicanjunior]

I hope not...

[SayTown]

Manu is a spot up shooter now not a playmaker, he is now truly a bench player on a championship team

[timmy2003]

He will be back if he's willing to accept a diminished role and smaller contract.

[Bruno]

Whatever he decides, I would be fine with it. He has numerous times this season that he would likely still play one or two seasons, so I expect him not to retire. In that case, Spurs should re-sign him.

Now, what I won't be fine with is that if he takes a load of time to make up his mind. The draft is in 6 days and Manu's choice will impact what they will do that night. If he hasn't made his decision by next Tuesday, it will start to hurt Spurs.
