I would wait until Manu gets a full summer rest and see how he plays the following season before even thinking about this.
So my answer is NO!
Besides, who would you trade him for besides unrealistic trades(Kobe,Tmac,Lebron,Gil Arenas)?
NBA Minutes Leaders
RNK NAME GP MIN MPG
1 Allen Iverson, PHI 69 2932 42.5
2 LeBron James, CLE 75 3158 42.1
3 G. Arenas, WAS 75 3082 41.1
4 Tracy McGrady, HOU 75 3072 41.0
5 Kobe Bryant, LAL 63 2580 41.0
6 S. Marbury, NYK
The only guys on that list worth Manu are LeBron, TMac and Kobe...
1.TMac - is has got major game...but he's still kind of an idiot and if he's not dominating the ball his teams don't play that well...it's fine on a team with Yao but I am not sure how well he would fit with Duncan.
And Manu just royally punked him and Yao without Duncan.
2.Kobe - can do anything...including play with a dominant bigman...
But what if Kobe decides he doesn't like Duncan? and Pop? And RC? What if he decides he dislikes them more than winning les(and hotel clerks)? It's happened before.
3.LeBron...
Ok LeBron.

the kidd has the talent but going to your coach to get your friend to play more minutes and not liking the conversion then going to the new owner and getting silas fired.
pop said it best you have to look at the hole package not just the talent
cavs could get more then just manu for james right now. heck holt would give up everyone on the spurs for him because james with all the media attention would mean $$$$$$$$ for him if he sold the team
*chants*
NO! NO!
Ya think?
And what makes you think Kobe, TMac, or even Wade are any different?
So who exactly do you want for Manu then? And please don't say Vince Carter...
lebron and manu would be a good trade
but i wouldnt bet on that.
Exactly. I think your question is flawed, ducks. Manu shouldn't need to play 40mpg but probably could handle 35mpg for an entire season if he rested in the summer.
Only Lebron James or KG. That is it.
Uh, so if not James then who?
Listen to what this man has too say. He know what he is talking about.
Ducks, quit pounding with your phrase, "Manu can't play back-to-backs". He's done it all season. He might not be able to do it right now becasue of the injury and the fact he is wasted due to 3 years of non-stop basketball.
I will bet you all my vbucks (and I have more vmoney than you) he will do just fine come playoff time, and even better next year when he gets three full months of rest time.
I can't wait till Manu gets a full off season to recover. He's gonna be unstoppable. Right now, he's playing beat up, but hey, I'll take a beat up Manu over no Manu at all!
No.
I agree with those who say this question is unrealistic. Neither Kobe, nor TMac, Wade, AI or Lebron would be traded for Manu. (as a matter of fact, you just have to look at the contract the Spurs gave Manu to realise he is a bargain) How many all-stars are making the money he is making? All of them are making more $$$ but still, some of you guys want to trade him for no-heart TMac or that VCarter pussy.
Give Manu a break, let him rest the entire summer and see what he brings next year.
lebrons the only one id consider trading manu for, and that wont even happen in anyones dreams.
i wouldnt trade manu for anyone. kobe tmac and lebron they're all the same player anyways
what has james won?
his teams suck the last month of the season
you want that kind of a guy?
Ducks...you are just plain wrong. A player doesn't have to be on a great team that wins an NBA championship to be a great player.
*flashback to 1990 and Ducks is typing on his TI "duckese" speak and spell*
"That Michael Jordan sucks! The guy has never won anything! You want a guy like THAT on your team?"
Stupid ass pointless thread.
you bring so much to this thread
indeedyou bring so much to this thread
I can see the concern here. If it becomes a pattern...well, I would think about it.
I'm not so worried about his inability to play big minutes. I'm worried about the beatings he takes night in and night out leading to injuries or shortening his career. He leaves it all out on the floor, and I'm quite shocked that something more serious hasn't happened to him.
You always look to improve the team. The only untouchable should be Duncan, and he probably really is the only untouchable on the team in reality. I expect most everyone here to agree that Lebron is the only player worth trading Manu for, but I think a more objective look (or a look at the situation by non-Spurs fans) would reveal that there are several players capable of bringing as much value each night as Manu does. They might not help the team win in the same ways, but I personally feel that a Ray Allen or a Mike Redd or a Dwayne Wade could help this team just as much.
That's not a bash on Manu. He's a great fit. But he's not the best guard in the NBA, and if injuries do become a problem for him, it might be worth looking at more durable players down the road.
But you don't trade him now.
I am still waiting to hear who ducks would thinks we could trade him for that would be as effective...
I posted earlier wade
I think he and tp could co-exist
wade is clutch
wade has proved he can play with a big man in the middle
I just want to hear Ducks say that he definately wouldn't trade Manu for Lebron James.
