Thank you Tony for all the hard work, memorable years, TMZ stories, etc...
It's unfortunate that your body failed you, it happens to the best of them. Hopefully you'll enjoy a long life with your family, and maybe we'll see you again working for the Spurs in a management capacity.
Thank especially for realizing your career was over instead of money grubbing another 3 year extension, giving the Spurs the flexibility to rebuild. That's a real man move (one I wish Patty would follow, tbh)

It really is sad, when we last saw Tony playing healthy he was fantastic for this team in the playoffs! He and Kawhi were leading this team and Tony was unstoppable. Sad to see a horrible injury ruin his career like that.
Thanks for 03, 05 and 07.
Spurs won in ‘14 in spite of him though.
Its been time since ‘15.
He'll be back. And I'm not sure why people think he's done. Coming off an injury that many, including me, thought was probably career ending, I can see him as a productive player off the bench. He may not ever be a productive player again, but I would hope they sign him to a vet min deal and bring him back. I'm sure he'll want to play still.
I wouldn't mind signing him to a three year deal (so that he can fulfill his 20 seasons dream), but only for the absolute minimum he could get and accepting a mentor role as the 15th player of the roster.
I can picture Tony in 2022 ing up fast breaks for us in the post season.
Let his quad heal and he’ll be back in 2017 playoff form next year.
If the Spurs offer him the vet min, in my opinion, he’s gone. He will get more money from another team in free agency that values his leadership.
Maybe not like a PHI Manu offer, but something more than vet min. Will be very interesting to see.
What? Only teams that haven't really been paying attention would offer more than the vet min at Tony.
right
"teams that value leadership" while he sits on the bench to close out games
You would be surprised. I think leadership carries value along with the fact he might get more productive coming off another Summer of rehab from that awful injury. We shall see..
Scoff all you want; unless the Spurs make some crazy splash and TP wants to be a part of that I am confident in saying TP won’t be playing for the vet min with the Spurs or any team.
I agree. Does anyone actually think the Sixers wanted Ginobili because he brought a consistent scoring presence and would eliminate turnovers?? The guy’s a player-coach. And so is TP. They still present a huge value, especially if the Spurs continue with Dejounte at the helm. Pretty sure Dijon wants TP back
there is nothing wrong in playing for the vet min in the team you've played for a life with. And in no other team he could be more respected and have a charismatic role than here. Manu is on a vet min deal next year and has been in a vet min year this year...and his contribution to this team has been far more important than a lot of players, for sure this season he's been on of the best 5 while tony one of the worst five without a doubt. I'm really proud that he came back from such an injury but his value this season has been negative...so, considering his will to play i think the best and right solution is the one already proposed of a three year del at the vet min...that for a player with more than 16 years its a decent amount of money. As Manu has shown you don't necessarly earn respect 'cause of the money you make but because of the way you play and the (winning) behavior you must have...including play for the vet min 'cause you love the game and the team you play for. That, imho, has to be the new start for tony, hoping next year he'll be able to came back to a level equal or more important of this year manu contribution!
That's some ty "appreciation" there mate...
As much as his production by the numbers doesn't deserves it, he won't hurt us with min vet contract and there a little hope he'll be better next season, as weird as it sounds it's possible.
He has to get his injured leg better and work on his new role (has to shoot the 3s).
I'm hoping Manu stays, but if he leaves, we can't lose both the same year, too much knowledge...
I think Manu will be gone though
He will hurt us because he is taking away valuable playing time and growth from our younger point guards... He needs to be a 3rd string point guard, tbh...That's some ty "appreciation" there mate...

Thanks for everything, now please go away.
I hope they resign him! He's part of the big three and he deserves to retire as a Spur! He's an integral part of our championships! He was off as he didn't get enough playing time so I think he should've played more this season and I really don't think Murray is ready and it was a detriment to this teams losses!
