if Manu pulls a Kevin Ware for his ty national team, can't wait to hear thefrom Manu s.
Man, you guys are some haters. I dont want him to play either but I understand his drive. Some people (from other countries) value a gold medal more than or close to equal to a nba le.
Plus a lot of you said last year and much of this year, he sux and is finished. So why do you care?

Seeing how that's legally impossible I don't see why Manu should do that, tbh.
Reading PTR and it seems like he is going to play. lol
Before the fracture I was fine with him playing, and I understood it. I still understand him wanting to play, but with an injury you would think he would want to rest. However, this could just be Manu posturing himself to make it appear like he's trying his hardest to play with the NT, when in reality, he doesn't have any intention to play now.
Can I get any Argentinians view on what the arg media say's about all this?
Just wondering on what they are saying down there.
Manu is underpaid so he can do whatever he wants tbh... On the other hand if someone like Tiago gets injured this summer it makes his bad contract even worse...
TP getting 12M the past 2 years and Manu getting 7M is basically the reason why the Spurs were in the Finals, they earned the right to do whatever they want during summer, they basically paid for it by leaving money on the table...
Now if Kawhi wants the max he better make some compromises about international play as it seems to already be his stance...
I'm fine with it if Ginobili wants to play. After winning this le anything else is gravy.
Not much right now. The quotes I translated earlier were from an ARG newspaper, and they're all basically waiting for a decision after the studies on August 1st...
Hes under contract with the Spurs.....thats the difference.
Arg media wants to know what type of Futbol is basketball.
The guy is 36 with a history of major issues getting through the NBA season when he plays in the off-season, and a fractured leg! I wish Manu would just do the sensible thing and retire from international play. Surely his roster spot should be going to a youngster anyway?
On the flip side, I can see why he'd want to play for his country one last time. I just wish he wouldn't.
An update on this, apparently the studies are going to be this Friday? This is from an interview with the ARG NT coach Julio Lamas:
Q: Beyond of what Ginobili said about his injury, does the studies on the 25th are the final word or can he start working minimally and wait for an improvement in his condition?
Lamas: I can't tell you what's going to happen, we have to wait for the studies on the 25th. Then we'll see. If he's healthy, he'll play, if he's not healthy, he won't play. The studies he's having done that day will be sent to San Antonio and we're also going to have copy, so we'll see then.

Messi wants Manu to play.. cos he lost the World Cup..
Maybe it puts more pressure on Manu to play because there's not a lot of talent behind him on the team. I have a feeling that if there was, Manu might not as persuaded to play this year especially since he has a new baby to enjoy too. Unlike other national teams that have some star players and are up and coming teams there's not much left for Argentina after Manu retires. I know that's why he's said he wants to develop some players over there when he's done. I know I don't like him playing but I guess I understand the crossroads he's at. I just hope for the best. Besides I love how people continue to act like he's the most important player on this team when he's not. He's a role player now and we have plenty of other players who are just as important or even more now like Kawhi. As we found out during the season we can still win without him which can be great.I wish Manu would just do the sensible thing and retire from international play. Surely his roster spot should be going to a youngster anyway?
Argie NT players threatening not to go to the WC if they don't get answers from the federation about the two previous administrations that cashed in (corruption by the former administration people) on their success and things haven't changed in more than 10 years...
Nocioni on the subject:

The problem with the Argentina NT is the same problem the country has. No long term plans. Coaches scared of losing one game and getting fired.
Easy solution: Call Manu...if we lose..well...it happens. If you dont call him, and then you lose, you are probably fired.
No long term plans..no experience for young players, nothing.
The NT is part of the so called Golden Generation, that includes Basketball, Volleyball, Women Hockey, Rugby...and...idk.
This exists only because there is no infrastructure in Argentina. The only way to win is to have GODs help...and that is the Golden Generation. A lot of athlets of the same generation that excel in many sports...GOD!. No plans...no organization...no hard work...nothing. In other words...Argentina.
IMO, he shouldnt play. Sports people want him to, because it will be his last Cup...they said the same thing last time.
Good one.
Hey ese, did Argentina default yet?
Well said.
Who pays the freight?
Argentina's pitifully small fan base doesn't come close to SAT's.
Right on.
Many don't, apparently.
