Uh? The Spurs say "go play" and he plays. I have no problem with the Spurs deciding otherwise, but there's no need to twist things.

Don't worry about it. It's a compliment to your character.
You're pointing out the hypocrisy by implying that Spurs let him play with the injury while refusing to allow him to play with the same injury to represent his National team.
And you've got to be joking with the "Spurs ARE NOT preventing him from playing." remark, right?
Quoted for truth.
I'm not twisting a single thing. If the most important thing to Manu is playing on the NT, he can retire from The Spurs and play. Regardless of what The Spurs say. He doesn't need their permission. What he needs permission to do is play on a broken leg and still get his seven milly. He could deal with the financial consequences later. They BOTH signed the contract. You don't get to piecemeal the parts you like.

It's also funny how Parker didn't get this kind of backlash playing for France after 6.
Where did this influx of GNSF come from?
As much as it sucks for Manu, this was a good decision by the Spurs. Manu's overall health is more important, and I'm sure Manu understands. If not, he will understand eventually.
If manu wanted to sit out due to injury during the playoffs he could have. It was HIS choice. The Spurs also had a choice and took it. Manu has the final say if he wants to play though.
much rather repeat than to have manu get hurt later next year and get called chokers againManu helps the spurs win number 5 and this is how they show their appreciation?
No. It's really simple. Harsh, but simple. Don't confuse this with me suggesting he SHOULD walk away. I love the guy. But, ultimately, he, of all people, is the author of his own destiny.
Parker is not a 37 year old with a broken leg. C'mon.
Honest question for you, what would you have said if Manu WOULD have sat out the Finals (knowing that he could still likely play)? Are you honestly going to say that there would not have been a HUGE backlash - as we very likely would have lost in the Finals for the second consecutive year to the Heat.
I'm not saying that the Spurs don't have a choice, nor am I saying that they shouldn't invoke the injury clause to protect their investment - but let's drop the whole "Spurs are not preventing Manu from playing" routine.
at this point everyone's just splitting hairs because the Spurs, who have the final say in the matter, have said no (at least according to Buck Harvey). Not like Manu would throw tantrums or anything. One can say this is Pop's way of shielding Manu from backlash or a ploy to protect their investment, or conspire to say the Spurs are hypocrites for letting him play in the Finals despite his injury (which was discovered upon exit interviews), but this is conjecture. I'd be more concerned as to how Ginobili reacts, and then as to how he plays during the season.
The Spurs pay him, arg doesn't. It's that simple. Why do people keep recycling the same argument?
And this, tbh. If Manu truly wanted to play he could retire from the Spurs, walk away from this year's salary, and play for argentina to his heart's content.
That is a move.... but deserved as revenge for your client ing out the Spurs' medical staff to the media
How are they stopping him? What could they do if he really wanted to play?
Didn't Parker have a hamstring issue in game 6 and 7?
than played for France and never recover to mvparker last season?
But the spurs didn't stop him from playing. Interesting.

But But But the Spurs Medical Staff is biased as .
Sacrifice his first born son.
You are idiots if you don't think that Pop and Manu had already talked about it even before the letter.
Well, yeah, but we already ed about that. And, he's not playing this summer. So, the Parker anger has subsided. One catastrophe at a time, PUHLEEZE.
