Don't think he can until he clears waivers...
Will he just pick a damn team already...

That's a catch 22. If he plays well, he's going to get a semi lucrative offer from some team. If he plays like a scrub, he'll resign for next to nothing but won't contribute. The Spurs don't want to take on much salary after next season so he'd have to lock in for a one year deal if he has any intention of resigning with the Spurs. He's basically a rental for the remainder of the season.
hasn't mwp cleared waivers??
One more day to go? I don't know what MWP has left in tank, but one good thing about him (at least to my knowledge) is that he didn't even complain about playing time while with NYK.
Oh Okay. Well, that needs to hurry up. I'm tired of hearing the slightly different reports on him already. lol
him tbh
Its pretty clear he wants to play with cliff paul and the rest of the monkey squad so let him.
He will immediately regret it when they get swept in the second round
( If they make it that far )
Since he wants to be Hollywood and , get what he deserves.
dammit, i'm finding myself checking out this thread 20 times over the course of 3 hours
LMAO ^^^ ME TOO BRUH!
Manu has not been a former of himself. He is not what he used to be and I have been saying that since 2009-2010. His best years were 2007-2008. At this moment, Granger is better and much more reliable shooter than Manu. This is my inputs without the stats.
If your comparing prime Manu to Prime Granger, ill take prime Manu. Pime Manu has this fire that is uncomparable to many players in the league.
Again, i've said it over and over, if Granger goes to the Spurs, Spurs are VERY DEEP. Granger plays a very reliable role and might take the bulk of Danny Green's minutes. Granger is very reliable. But, I know Spurs will give him the stretch 4 minutes from Bonner and Ayers. With his addition, the 4 and the 5 spot will see a little of reduction in minutes. He is the missing piece btw
You and probably every other Spurs fan on this board. :P
me too tbh
Current Manu absolutely still has the fire but his body can't keep up with his energy level and manic play anymore. He's too driven to see that so he gets injured playing like he's still 25 as we just saw him hurt his hammy dunking.
You realize he can't even make a decision until tomorrow after 5 PM, right? I don't think he can even commit verbally to a team...not publicly, anyways.
Everything that's been floated about is all media speculation tbh.
granger is more likely to go to spurs. pacers former assistant coach is here, + he knows ayers, and probably got the heads up from george hill how fantastic and professional spurs are, and who doesn't want to be in a le contending team? clippers, im not so sure about that prospective.
Prime Manu was a "near number one option" on a couple of championship squads.
also i believe pacers run the same kind of style as spurs.
Did the Heat called just to say they hate him?
I'd take out the "near" part, especially in '05 when he should've won NBA Finals MVP.
Tim Duncan in the '05 Finals: 21ppg, 14rpg, 2apg, 2bpg
Manu Ginobili in the '05 Finals: 19ppg, 5rpg, 4apg, 1spg
Maybe I'm missing something.
Granger is not the missing piece. He is going at this with an allen iverson type mindest imo. Demanding starters minutes on a contender. Any team who would give him starters minutes because he would be their best option is clearly not a contender. That would be like a fat girl going on a double cheeseburger only diet and expect to lose weight. He isnt what he used to be but his too y and proud to see it. And also when granger was option a on his team the pacers ceiling was a mediocre team at best and offensively he was somewhat of a blackhole and chucker. I could give two s if the spurs miss out on him. Defensively he used to be pretty damn good. Injuries have put a dent in those abilities.
I'm partial to '03 when he came back from injury towards the end of the year and just destroyed. No one knew who he was so they hadn't gameplanned for him and he was just a wrecking ball. The best was the look on the other teams players that were just in awe, like "who in the actual is this?" Knocked out the 3 time champ Lakers and made Kobes cry and rang one more time for 50.
Pure bliss!!
You're missing the possibility they were 1A and 1B which still means #1 options
Well sure, But I wouldn't say Ginobili 'deserved' finals MVP over Duncan. He did one of a job, But Duncan was still the main anchor on both ends.
