Was Manus' new contract a good, or a bad, move by Spurs FO? And why?

[TXstbobcat]

I'm okay with the contract if he can stay healthy.

I am not sure he can even stay healthy at the end of the bench, frankly...

As of late, neither can Parker.

[dbestpro]

Even my ten-year old daughter was yelling at Pop every time he put Manu in during Game Six and Seven... (After it was clear in Game Six the guy was just not with it). A TEN YEAR OLD.

My six year old asked why that man with the bald spot kept throwing the ball to the other team?

[Skull-1]

You're an idiot. Parker played way more minutes than Manu. And was still better than Ginobili even when hurt.

You're an idiot. Parker has had his fair share of injuries.

The Spurs FO are good but they are highly overrated because of the franchise player Tim Duncan. The FO is never held accountable because they have Tim Duncan. You wouldn't be saying such as absurd statements if the Spurs wouldn't have drafted Tim Duncan. Who buys into all the BS that is said by the media and ESPN? They don't know .This.

And you know more, you're more of an authority than people who get paid lots of money, who base their careers, on reporting, or more than the most respected FOs in all of sports? No, you are the one who is full of , totally delusional in fact. If not, then they would have hired you to do it, Mr. Expert, at spewing out ridiculous conjectures!

I can understand the positive vibes and wishful thinking by one of the biggest homers on ST but let's not fool ourselves. Manu looked done on the court.

And what about you, a self proclaimed "homer", who has nothing better to do than make a continual fool of himself with idiotic blind accusations irregardless of the facts? You continue to hang yourself with each seceding piece of babble! I knew you would, you're the type.

1. As plain as the nose on your face, 2 for 14.5 is overpaid.

2. Manu has lost a good amount of first step quickness, which he will not regain.

3. Manu lost confidence in his ball handling, which he could regain.

4. Manu's jumper went to crap, which he could regain or even improve.

5. Manu's poor decision making is more pronounced and he's never shown any signs of improving in this area.

Manu's Potential: Solid ball handler with a solid jumper and occasional big play.

Downside: Failure really gets in his head and he collapses.

Projection: More bad than good. However, I hope for the best.

[Skull-1]

You're an idiot. Parker has had his fair share of injuries.

And still outplayed a healthy Ginobili....

[Skull-1]

We would have actually have been better of if Pop had benched Manu at times. That's how bad he was. It's not like he was just not doing much but he actively hurt us. If a player other than MG does that stuff he doesn't play.

The crux of the matter right there. Couldn't say it better...

I think this is fair.

In other words, he's not.

Come on. Do you really think an adult would rationalize someone's life over a forum that takes two seconds to post in?

[Johnny RIngo]

I think this is fair.

The scary thing about this TOSB version of Manu is that he's not reliable at all in clutch moments. Ginobili used to be a guy that you could leave in the last few minutes of a game and expect nothing but good results. Now...I'd rather Danny Green be in there instead. 14 million for a guy you can't trust in late game moments? Definitely overpaid. Manu didn't deserve anything over 5 mil.

I am neither of those.

Again -- are you an adult? You have trouble with metaphors.

The Spurs are paying 14 million because unlike you, they do trust him in late game moments. If you're a fan, you better start hoping Manu does get his touch back, because "Manu in the clutch" is what's for dinner...

I agree!

if you watched the finals, there is no reason to even answer this.
