manu blurb on Ole (after cavs game)

[AFBlue]

Mel has a good idea....can't find the direct quote but I think it was:

Yr 1 - $8M
Yr 2 - $8.8M
Yr 3 - $9.6M ($3.2M guaranteed)

That way Ginobili gets at least the $20M guaranteed that he'd likely get from a team in free agency and the Spurs get Ginobili for two years and a decent trade chip in Yr 3.

Good numbers . Manu won't say no. This way, he will finish on the Spurs. I suspect he would take veteran's minimum after Year 3 to play on, if the Spurs are still contending.

If the Spurs can get someone to bite on Richard Jefferson next year (hey, is there a team that wants to run the Princeton Offense and needs a perfect fit?) and if Splitter comes in, and if they get a decent SF (Travis Outlaw?) in the offseason to go along with Manu, they would not be out of contending status.

i would be devastated if manu did not come back next season as a spur.

Some always say a SF, what about Gist or is he out already? He has done great overseas and could help out alot here IMO.

Talk now before it is too late

How possible this could be?
