Ok
Inflation. Hits everyone hard.
I thought I'd see a over a , tbh
Can't believe spurs paid him that much
jesus
I hope it's front-loaded. The team will have cap space next summer as well, and not too many of their own free agents to spend it on.
I don't know how anybody can spin this ... even me who leans toward the Manu homer category, I can't find a reason why he was paid that much. Manu robbed the Spurs, tbh.
Can only hope he has a bounce back season if not biggest waste of cash for sure .but if u need a reason rc said it himself Manus per averages r great yo
Nice...I thought they had short changed him with that 14 mil offer..
obscure stats ftw
no one other would give him that much... lol Spurs
You don't know that.............
Your dumb if u think that..Take a look at this summers contracts.
FO gave him a blank check to sign IMO. IDC what reports say out there. There is no way that our stingy FO would have chosen to overpay Manu out of the blues. Manu opted to get paid for his market value. He didn't do what TP and TD did which is to take a pay cut below the market value. Manu's $3-$4M that he refused to give us a discount on plus Matt Bonner's $3M contract would have allowed the Spurs to make an improvement on the SF or PG position. Perhaps we could have signed Jarrett Jack or AK47 if we would of had all that cap space taken by Manu and Bonner.Manu's play is declining though. Most of the other SG's are either in their prime or on the rise. Sorry but you can't make the case for Manu.
ok let me say it the other way. None of the contenders would pay him that much. I am sure Manu would want to play for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Timvp loves to spin up the crowd.
Sorry, if players like Martell Webster, Korver, and Tony Allen can all get contract ranging from 5-6.5 mil a season then Manu could have easily had some equal or greater offers.
Manu gave us a huge discount in his prime. well earned. besides, nobody twisted the Front officeses arm to pay the man a little more than hes worth.
Too much but I'm not giving up on the guy... think he'll have a good season.
During Manu's heyday, the Spurs benefited from a hometown discount. Manu could have easily signed with some other teams for more money in previous contract years but sacrificed money and stats to stay with the Spurs.
Now people want to throw the Spurs and Manu under the bus for mutually agreeing on a contract that rewards Manu for his many years of loyalty and service.
Why didn't they give him a one year deal? Two years is guaranteed failure... I don't get it...
