I say put him on bench until March. But, maybe I'm a little extreme. I think we can win in the regular season without him.

....completely different subject.....we're talking sports and representing their countries..... nothing to do with securing your oil sources for the next generations TBH.
Yeah, because Manu plays 35 minutes per game.Manu will be in the low 20's next season.
Aaaaand we still went all the way. If we can go all the way with our go to guy struggling I think we can go all the way with our 6th man struggling, don't you think?And, Parker never got healthy this season, even after we rested him on "company time", and his output and performance suffered. Last year he was in the conversation for MVP with Lebron and Durant. This year, crickets. This stuff has been said ad nauseum. Totally different cases, and horrible examples.
Sorry but I just find the reactions in this thread way too funny. It's seems like the Spurs already lost the next season just because Manu will play for Argentina in the summer.
What do they "don't get"? ... what it means for a player to PLAY a sport representing his/her country? and therefore the whole nation sucks????

Like roaches, here come the Manu haters! All silent during the Finals when Manu was playing well! GTFO Hater!Yeah the Spurs won a championship. Parker was the leading scorer in the Finals, Kawhi won the MVP, Duncan averaged a double double... Meanwhile Turnobili
Yes, he plays fewer minutes because HE IS OLD. I agree with you about everything else, but the extra games are not good for an old, injury-prone guard. Period. Might we be able to win, sure. But, it sure won't help. And he may be just a sixth man that plays 20 minutes, in the regular season, but he is an instrumental playmaker and force of will in the playoffs.Yeah, because Manu plays 35 minutes per game.

But what happens if the entire team is old and everyone needs to have their minutes managed since it seems that the Argentinian national team is going to be comprised of the same older players of Manu's generation?
Manu should be completely rested for 2 months. Look at Parker - how he limped into the playoffs. Limiting minutes is not enough. They both need time off for the body to recuperate. Don't these players want to spend time with their babies? Seven million - now it's imperative that they get Patty back. Diaw playing is fine - looks like his body needs it.
personally I would trade him for whatever I could get. maybe Spurs could work a deal with Indy to sign and trade Stephenson.
This is not good. Wish he would rest like Paker this summer. I think he will start having injuries like a few years ago. Great news for Patty Millis.
Also, DAF86...
"Aaaaand we still went all the way. If we can go all the way with our go to guy struggling I think we can go all the way with our 6th man struggling, don't you think?"
You're also proving my point here. We went all the way, with a HEALTHY and RESTED Manu. He didn't play last summer. And, we went all the way with a hobbled guy that other people had to step up for, in Parker, that DID play last summer.
In the playoffs, Ginobili is an integral piece. He NEVER was a real 6th man. That he agreed to play off the bench to help the team should not diminish his importance. I love Tony, but Ginobili is every bit as important as Tony in the playoffs.
The media has latched onto this notion that the Heat have played so many more minutes than The Spurs, too, because playing more does affect a person. So, that's been one of their excuses. But, when they do all of their adding, I am pretty sure that they don't add up all of these international games that our team members play, even though they throw in Lebron's Team USA minutes, as a cherry on top of all the extra time he's spent playing due to playoff runs. Sickening.

Somewhere, rascal's ears just perked up.
Parker played in the summer, he suffered from it in the NBA season, Spurs still won it all. If they can do it without a 100% go to guy then they can do it without a 100% 6th man. That is it and that is all.
Also playing for Argentina, some probably for the last time, Andrés Nocioni, Luis Scola, Walter Hermann (!), Pablo Prigioni & Leo Gutiérrez. Delfino is still questionable due to injury.
LOL I can't believe how many stupid people there are in this place!
I mean, I know there are a lot, I just didn't see so many in a single thread before
I wasn't expecting it from some of you, I'm not gonna say names but I'm really dissapointed at some fans in here.. but yeah, tipical Spurstalk.
On topic now, I don't know why you care so much, It's not like he won les for us, right? I mean, that's what some of you are saying and you're still pissed. You're contradicting yourself, can't take you guys seriously tbh.
Anyway, he's not gonna play that much, he's earned it, this is his last chance to play for his national team in a major international tournament... I mean, really guys, have you ever played a game of basketball before?
Some of you know nothing about it.
Guess we probably won't repeat. I won't be surprised if our failures to repeat lined up with his playing for Argentina the previous summer.
After his epic bounce back this year he can go play on Mars if he likes as far as I'm concerned.
All these pinche haters who couldn't say nothing because he was playing well in the playoffs and Finals were choking with all their hate and are now regurgitating their hate! Hate all of these assholes!
Ginobili played summer before last. He suffered from it. He sucked in the Finals. They lost. That is it and that is all.
that's all that needs to be spokenLOL I can't believe how many stupid people there are in this place!

2013 still happened tbh, it's still part of Manu's legacy.
NEVER FORGET
spurs pay his salary.. spurs should have final decision on what he does in the summers.... if wants to play in europe, he should go sign a contract in europe
When I saw "Manu Ginobili has announced..." on the Hottest Threads panel on the side of the home page, I thought it was about retirement.
