Manu: “It felt like they wanted me to retire,”

[Canyonero]

Juan more season Manu pls

[Jdspur20]

You'd rather the Spurs second best playoff performer retire over a scoreless going scrub?

This is why Trump won. Adios, amigo.

Because Parker will be a s of himself when he comes back.

[Keepin' it real]

er will certainly step up more than lagina come playoff time.

Don't want him back. Yes the franchise is more important than the emotions of player-fans.

The franchise isn't more important than the emotions of the fans, tbh. The emotions of the fans is the only reason there is even a franchise to begin with.

This season could use a Manu Farewell Tour. Dead serious - the team AND the fans need it.

They can't pay him freaking $14 Million to do it, and they shouldn't have to. But Manu could do the team one last favor. And I've said it here before - if he signs a 1-year deal for the vet minimum, the league would pay half his salary. He would still get just as much money, but the team would get him at a bargain price. Everybody goes home happy.

this. Would be a cool send off and he can still play backup PG/bench spark plug for 15 mins per game

Hopefully he comes back for one more season, but either way, Manu is a future NBA head coach, and likely a damn good one at that. Hopefully it's for the Spurs.

Cant believe this thought has never crossed my mind. Would LOVE him steering the ship after Pop. In fact I think he would be my #1 choice.

I despise Manu and sneeze into my "I hate Manu" handkerchief. Nothing else matters.

[SpurPadre]

Please come back, Manu! No seas un boludo!

Maybe the hiring of his brother is planting the seeds for Manu wanting to coach, too?

we can't do this every year, isn't he a "team first" guy? Let's emancipate ourselves from the chains of player-fan bondage

[TimDunkem]

we can't do this every year

Guy "isn't sure" that he's coming back every year and he always does. Seems like Manu hasn't known what he's doing after every season for 5 years now...Tired of this show, tbh.

In my mind, Manu is still the heart of the team.

[HarlemHeat37]

I was originally against it, but on second thought, I hope he returns, tbh..next season is going to be a throwaway year, relatively speaking, the fans are going to need a supplementary reason to build interest..

[gambit1990]

Rather Parker retire and have Manu back.

[hooperflash]

Mus wants him back too so there's that

You have Trump derangement syndrome to even try to make that correlation.

[Spurtacular]

As long as the Spurs have a shred of a chance of getting another ring I want Manu to come back.

[boutons_deux]

“It felt like they wanted me to retire,”

one of dumbest takes from a very intelligent,mature guy, a horribly wrong read of the stand-up tribute from ALL fans and players in Oracle.

[Spurtacular]

I'm the biggest got on Spurs Talk

Did you forget that you were on one of your screen names that is allegedly pro Spurs when you came up with that avatar?

[Phenomanul]

How quickly people's memories fade...

After Kawhi went down... Manu was the only Spur playing with any sense of heart or purpose... at freaking 39 years old...

That's an indictment on this roster, tbh.

That's an indictment on this roster, tbh.

But when Timmy did it at an advanced age it was a testament to his greatness and compe ive spirit? You never turn guys like this away regardless of age, especially on the cheap. Obviously not even his biggest fans want him on a monster contract again.

If Manu thought the ovation from the fans in Game 4 felt like they wanted him to retire, he should read The Great Yachts posts in this forum going back to 2013. THAT is what it sounds like when Doves Cry....after being run over and shot and then burned.
