La Nación: article about Manu and his future in NBA

[blkroadrunners]

Manu's leverage is quite limited. Teams under the cap will focus on more long term options and teams over the cap will only be able to offer him $19M. Manu doesn't really have the upper hand. It's even more true that teams will be careful with a new CBA coming. IMO, he will re-sign with Spurs for $18M/2 years.

This is exactly the amount and term the Spurs should offer.

Grassy ass.

Agreed. I think the max the Spurs are going to offer Manu is $10M a year -- and that would probably be no guarantee on the third year.

the same amount he's currently paid? I think a considerable deduction should be ineluctably involved given how much he's slumped over these years since 07. A full MLE should be the best deal for both Manù and his team IMHO, then the team have the lowest payroll possible while Manù gets guaranteed the same amount sewed to a possible 2yr/20M deal, provided that's a multi-year extension extending to 2014 at nearest.

no mention of bird's rights belonging to the spurs. if anyone deserves to be overpaid it is manu and not RJ.

I would rather pay the same overpayment to expel him the out than keep him in.

Sadly, the upcoming off-season may be as interesting at the upcoming postseason
