Yes, and thats exactly what I meant. SA should trust Manu´s discern.
I am hoping this was the case.Manu didnt want to play, this was CIA Pop's way of getting him out of international play without him catching any flack

If Manu played for another team he may very well have been rode to death many years ago, suffering a shortened career. Manu owes The Spurs as much as we owe him.
At this point, I'm really glad Pop isn't the team USA coach making this decision.
This. They can't use the contract to their advantage when it suits them, then about the contract when it suits us gets old.
I would have tied a note to a pigeon's leg. Then broken the leg.
Manu is ing injured. Don't people understand that? All three doctors said the same thing. The Spurs are using the injury clause, which means he hasn't fully healed.
Manu could appeal if he thinks the Spurs are lying. But they ain't. We don't work like that.
He can play. He can retire. He would rather have $7 million dollars and continue playing with The Spurs.
This. Giving old man Manu some cover.Manu didnt want to play, this was CIA Pop's way of getting him out of international play without him catching any flack
I hope we lose all these 3rd world country fans that are ing right now... you guys are more than free to choose a new team to root for.
GO SPURS GO!
ook at you talk fool. You'd rather he play injured, lose, maybe injure himself more, and retire from the nba and lose 7 million dollars plus maybe another 8mil2year extension all because your a ing ??????????
NVM. I thought you were implying he should retire to play for Argentina. Sorry lol
You have to make it look good.
Manu's passion is irrational. Like a drunk that thinks he can still drive, sometimes you have to take away the keys. You can't trust their discern. It's inherently bad discern.
I love seeing Manu play for his national team, but I'm glad he'll get a full offseason rest to go for our first repeat championship.
He is a compe ive SOB.
Gotta love him.
Good. Glad he knows and appreciates where he's from, but honestly, that was annoying.
Maybe if the Spurs could have some confidence that he would come back in tact after playing summer ball, they would allow it, but no one with a brain would make that bet.
You misunderstood the context. But, thanks for calling me a .
I didn't read through every post in this thread, so perhaps it's been stated already ... but I find it a bit hypocritical of the Spurs, their medical staff, and to the fans that are criticizing Manu for allowing him to play out the Finals with this injury (considering that reports are that the injury occurred late in the Western Conference Playoffs) but using it as an excuse to keep him from playing for his National team.
For the record, I am actually glad that they are using the injury clause to prevent him from playing (and I guess it's "good business", as they are protecting their investment) because I selfishly want him to rest and heal so that he is ready for a run at a B2B le - but I find the hypocrisy to be laughable. I guarantee that nearly every one of these posters claiming that Manu is selfish for wanting to play for Argentina would be criticizing him for not playing in the NBA Finals (considering that he could still play, and at a very high level) had the Spurs decided that the injury needed rest at that time.
if manu plays half this board calls him an idiot, if the spurs don't let him play the other half of the board hates on the organization.
Great stuff
There is a little hypocrisy, but there is no injury clause for NBA teams to prevent their own players from playing for their own teams. They pay him. The NT does not. Again, Manu can play if he wants to, but he would rather keep his job. The Spurs ARE NOT preventing him from playing. Manu is making a business decision.
