So we should trade Manu? If you think the answer is yes, then let's hear some realistic options. To me, you're just in' like a .
nah...the iceman was the best shooting guard the spurs ever had easily.....and might i add....you can spell cuss words does that mean you can say them too?

kobe>manu
would anyone trade manu for Maggette?
would anyone trade manu for jr smith + picks
Whoever suggest a trade is an idiot
if a team calls the spurs and are really to give up a guy that makes close to manu up for him
spurs would have to think about it
people who make as much as manu are great players
even if they are not spurs
Tell me one player that would improve the Spurs roster and help them win a championship with Manu's salary.
JR Smith+picks?
Maggette?
How about trading Parker for Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis, Jose Calderon, Kirk Hinrich, Deron Williams, Chauncey Billups or any point guard who doesn't suffer from tunnel vision?
chris paul makes less then tp
jr smith had similiar stats to manu last season
also is 22 and has more upside then manu
manu>jr smith right now though
tp does not suffer from tunnel vision now he did
Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Baron Davis are way to old to trade tp for
trading manu for someone yonger would be the only way manu would ever get traded
trading tp for an old point guard would be stupid
also trading manu for vc or allen would would stupid
i'll pass on the trade...no return value
How aboutSan Antonio trading Manu to Sacramento for Ron Artest and Spencer Hawes salaries work due to both being over the cap. The NBA is a business, if the Spurs can make a trade that makes them better I'm all for it. Yes, Manu had a bad ankle in the WCF, but he also made some bone head decisions for turnovers. Maybe the Spurs would have been better off sitting Manu the first two games in LA, but was it's Pop decision or Manu saying he was ready to go that resulted in his playing while injured. Bottom line is anybody can be traded on the Spurs except for Tim Duncan, and possibly Tony Parker.
I see a lot of insults to me, when the only thing I did was adding in the poll things some imbeciles wrote, if anyone thought I would think, for example, that Manu is an idiot or that I want him to get injured, then look at my nickname and think again
Crazy that some Spurs fans actually wish injury on Manu - lame, lame, lame.
Anyway, as the poll results show, the overwhelming majority people don't want Manu traded. Manu is a big part of the Spurs' heart and I think he'll retire a Spur. I hope he has a healthy and productive Olympics. And I hope if he's not healthy, that he sits out but still enjoys himself and rests up for next season.
absolute nonsense
lol if spurs traded manu.. id question my fanhood haha
Spurs fans.
I think TP has better value than Manu. and He never resume the MVP performance. So why not trade TP too?
i think we should try to trade duncan first, he has higher trade value.
If it was for Anthony,Kobe or LeBron than yea but other than that NO.
I guess emo Manu Fans can put down the razor blades. Outside of a few bad apples and a few posters who like to get a rise out of the CoM, no one wants the Spurs to trade Manu. Time to stop condemning all non-Manu centric Spurs fans and go back to bashing Parker
12 points, 2 rebs and 1.7 assists a game is similar to Manu? Maybe Manu with one leg. You're a complete moron and everyone here knows it. And before you even bring up the "Well Smith played less minutes" argument, he was still way less efficient in the minutes he played. Manu PER 24.34 Smith PER 18.15
In other words, epic fail by you.
And for the record, there are LOTS AND LOTS of crappy NBA players who make as much as Manu makes. Just because some idiot GM gives somebody a $15 mil a year contract doesn't mean they're a great player. Case in point, half the Knicks roster.
I honestly blame the Spurs loss in the WCF square on Manu's shoulders. It irritated me so bad that he was taking contested 3's, when he could have drove the lane... I mean come on... Vujacic was guarding him. Give the young man some more confidence Manu. That is the last thing you want to do to a young team... give them a reason to keep trying. Manu should have schooled that putz, but he was taking tons of 3's early in the shot clock with the Spurs up double digits. He just needs to play smarter, and I believe he can and will. So trading him is a huge NO in my opinion. When he plays well, in my personal opinion, he is the best SG in the game atm.

in todays nba if you trade an important player you wont get equal value or impact. you will get draft pics, youth and cap room.
idiot!!
If I was playing armchair GM, I would consider a trade that included Ginobili if the right deal just happened to come along, but I probably wouldn't be actively looking to trade him myself. And to those that say that's crazy I remind you its business and no player is untradeable, and his performance in last year's playoffs came up well short of expectations. In his defense, he was playing hurt, but like a few posters mentioned, he made several mental errors that he really shouldn't be making at this point in his career. Part of being mentally on top of your game is to realize what your capable of, and playing within yourself, and Manu was defenitely trying to do way too much when he didn't have to. The spurs had a nice size lead in that game 1 before his meltdown, there really was no need for heroics at that point, all Manu had to do was play smart and within himself and the spurs would have won that game.
As much as I was angry at Manu for playing out of control in that game, I blame Gregg Popovich even more for not doing what any decent coach should have done in that situation - taking him out early on. As a coach, he is simply not making the grade out there anymore IMO. Clearly, he is not making good personnel decisions, and its not just limited to that laker series, I'm talking the whole year. But just taking for example that laker series the spurs had the luxury of Brent Barry sitting on the bench as insurance.. now, who many teams out there are lucky enough to have Brent Barry as insurance? Yah, not many, if any. And when Barry needed his number called to replace an out of control Ginobili it was not. What the good was having him there if he wasn't going to be used in a situation like that? Can a situation be any more dire than that? Well, now he's gone for good, no doubt because he got frustrated sitting on the bench when his number should have been called.
Need another quick example? How about when the spurs were getting pounded on the offensive boards (I think it was game 2 or 3, don't exactly recall) instead of calling on Kurt Thomas, Popovich instead continues to go with Robert Horry. I'm sorry, but it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out Thomas is a better rebounder than Horry. He just seems he does not recognize what situations call for what players, and this has been an ongoing thing all year.
But that little segway on Popovich is a whole different thread, don't wanna derail this one, so I'll get back to the point. Everyone on the spurs should be subject to trade if it helps the team get better, there should be no untouchables. In Manu's case, If I'm calling the shots, I defenitely give him the benefit of the doubt since he was playing hurt, and see where is after this ankle injury. If he comes back fully energized and healthy this year, and is playing under control and within himself as a player then I am not looking to trade him, as he is one of the best clutch players in the league. But if he continues or even shows relapses of playing as he did in the lakers series then I defenitely am going to entertain trade ideas in the future.
