Manu coming back to San Antonio

[Seventyniner]

You mean besides accepting contracts for well below their market value?

Guess I should have used blue font.

[LakerHater]

Damn, one yr 10 MIL.... happy retirement Tim!

[mudyez]

Welcome back Manu!

[Kikoluna]

Thank God, I wasn't ready for the end. Hope timmy comes back so we can give him a proper farewell

[houston spurs fan]

Hey let's be honest here Manu has sacrificed more than anyone over the years in terms of salary to keep the core together. He could have gone elsewhere in his prime but chose to stay. He deserves $10 mil.

[EVAY]

Spurs are going over the cap for Manu I believe.

That's what I think too.

[slick'81]

Holy 10 mil.....um nice

[Mel_13]

If someone had said to me after the 2013, 14, or 15 seasons, who had more time left Manu or Timmy, I'd have gone with Duncan easily. Strange how things change.

Very true.

Anyway, glad that he's coming back and that the Spurs are rewarding him for services rendered.

Denver

Denver

That'd be my guess too.

Eh, it was a mutual sacrifice. In the long run the Spurs allowed him to make more money over time by extending his career. If he had gone elsewhere, he'd been out of the league years ago due to injury.

he turned down more $ to resign and retire a spur well deserved tbh

Amen.

[baseline bum]

If the Spurs re-sign Manu without renouncing him, they can wait until everyone else is signed and give him anything up to the max. Given Garcia's explanation, I could see this. I think it's even more plausible if Tim doesn't retire and signs a minimum contract after being waived/stretched (if that's possible).

Yeah, Manu's cap hold is only $4.35 million I think. He absolutely deserves $10-$15 million this year to make up for the paycuts he has taken.

[baseline bum]

Yep...I said all along that last year would be Manu's last but it looked like Duncan had enough left in the tank to keep playing.

So much for that.

I haven't mentally prepared for Duncan to be gone.

With Tim's contract what it is the Spurs are about $1 million short of being able to offer Gasol $15 million starting unless Tim retires and the Spurs apply the stretch provision.

I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THESE FACTS, DOUBLE-B!!!!

If Tim was coming back you probably would have heard Gasol signed for 2 years, $28 million. It's never going to feel the same without him. When David retired that whole 2003-04 season just felt off after watching him for 14 years. I don't know how long it'll take getting used to Tim not being there after 19 years.

Yeah... Nothing else to say, but:

Yeah. Damn...

[GSH]

So somebody offered Manu a lot more than $10M for one year?

[beirmeistr]

did spurs offer manu was$10 mil?

[slick'81]

did spurs offer manu was$10 mil?

Don harris and his insiders say so

[ElNono]

Sorry I'm late to this, still counting the money...

Going off Robinson will be like no more Coke Zero.

Going off Duncan will be like smack withdrawal.

[TheGreatYacht]

Of course not. His agent is lying his ass off to get more money. Don't think other teams want a 39 year old who's choked in 3 out of the last 4 playoffs.
