Manu won't be playing the upoming BB Worldcup

Yeah, I was thinking "Now that it's HIS cash on the line...."

Yeah, sure, beware of Manu the Pirate...

How many posters will leave if Manu does in fact get dealt?

Short of a Laker-esque Pau trade, nothing will come of this.

National teams are a tumor that's been growing on the Spurs for years, as other teams have experienced.

I used to give weight to the concept that playing for your national team meant something. It doesn't, really. This isn't war or politics or something of actual relevance to society. These are business decisions that affect a players family through generations. If the front office can get more value by trading Manu, good.

If not, don't.

It's all about the long term to the Spurs FO, IMO.

I saw this post coming, I wanted to post up a prevent against this article thread but I felt it was too dumb:
Though Ole is Arg most important sports newspaper it does not has good basketball sources and writers (one once wrote Manu as right handed..)
If you could read the article it's just a bunch of fact supposals and I don't where they got "the confirmation" that Manu won't be playing. They don't even say "according to X source". They're just staying it by saying he's going to have kids, and his contract situation will be difficult. Nothing to take very serious. Any of us knew that already.

Becareful with Ole.

I agree. Parker completely ed the team over this season.

As for Manu, no he's not playing when he's going to be shopping for a new contract. How noble of him.

Are you saying Parker's rolled ankle was because of playing for France over the summer? Did he not come down on somebody's foot? That would roll it if he had stayed in a padded room all summer.

And I guarantee when Parker's contract is coming up he will have no interest in the NT either. Gee, I thought these guys were supposed to love their country more than NBA dollars?

lol Ole doing what it's supposed to do pressuring Ginobili to play for the NT...

Why dont you look and see what time he posted that.... It was well before the game. Unless he is psychic, I think he was referring to the fact that Tony himself has even acknowledged he has been worn out because of summer play for the NT.

I hope he plays, i wanna see him alive here in istanbul, playing
