I hope he proves everyone who says he's finished wrong and I think he should finish his career somewhere else (as long as he doesn't end up on the Lakers).
when he came up lame against the lakers last year, his "next contract" became the MLE, nothing much has changed since

If the Spurs didn't want him to play the Olympics he would have not played. That's the bottom line. Injuries happen. Didn't your boy got a finger fractured playing for France a season ago, and got Pop irate too?
Should we trade him now too? After all, he wasn't getting paid millions to go fracture his finger.
What makes you look even more re ed, is that you were pandering left and right how Manu would never be the same earlier in the season, after which Manu proceeded to shut you up by stringing a bunch of 30+ games, showing off his athleticism. At that point you shut the up. Now you're back to pandering bull left and right. And I can't wait for Manu to come back and shut your trap one more time.
pop suggested in the newspaper he not play
that makes you the re not me
For a championship team, the Spurs are really a cheap organization. And they are getting away with it because the players are letting them. Manu's injury and season will be a welcome leverage come contract negotiations time for the Spurs.
Because Pop loves to send messages through the newspapers instead of talking directly to his players...
Pop said he preferred that he did not play, but he understood why Manu did want/was playing, and GAVE TO OK. Manu said many times he would not play if Pop said no. Plus this entire lane of argument is completely irrelevant, because he had surgery, he healed fine, and played plenty well after his recovery. The current injury has zero to do with the Olympics.
And you didn't answer my question. Tony fractured a finger playing for France in the offseason. He also missed games due to injury in the last two sesons. Under your ed up criteria, Tony is breaking down.
Do we trade Tony now before it gets worse?
How about we trade Tony and Manu for Oden?
You suck at this. You should do yourself a favor and STFU already.
He can't tell him not to play. He suggested it wasn't a good idea (and doing so publically for Pop is usually a big deal).Because Pop loves to send messages through the newspapers instead of talking directly to his players...

When Manu gave his very first press conference after the PO in Argentina, he said he was most likely out of the olympics. It was reported everywhere. Only after the Spurs sent a doctor to supervise his rehab and only after he had tests done IN SAN ANTONIO, he was cleared to play. The reality is that they knew he was going to need surgery. The Olympics only delayed the inevitable.
And I'll take Manu's word that everything was ok with Pop and the Spurs over the opinion of a Spurstalk poster.
Not to mention, again, that this is old news. How are the Olympics related to his current injury again?
You know the Olympics were AFTER the Lakers series, right? And you know Manu did not play for Argentina the summer before last season too?
WTF are you ing about again?
I know... I'll use this pic a lot.
yeah using copyrighted pics are so smart
I hope not....I want him to finish his career w/the Spurs....but it would be just our luck that he would end up with the Lakers if the Spurs cut him loose....and just our luck, he'd have a great year. People who want Manu out better be careful what they wish for...................
where would he play on the lakers
this year he plays on the bench
That's a simplification of what happened, but if it helps you create a scenario to get Manu out of town more quickly, yeah, sure, go with it.
my point was anything said publically does not matter on any player
what they say privately matters more
but nothing is certain until it is signed
I'd love to see Manu retire a Spur... a lot will depend on how he finishes the season.
ing dude, have you at least bothered to watch these games at all?
There's no point in even starting to argue here, this is flat out ridiculous. Vander would be proud of you.
Manu will get his 2 year extension this summer and it will be well deserved.
I would be shocked if the Nuggets offered him a big long term deal. First, Kiki is gone. He is the one who was enamored with Manu. Second, and more important the Nuggets are over the salary cap for the 2010 season already. They gave up cap flexibility when they traded away Iverson's expiring contract. Now Houston is a team that might make a run at him.
I hope not, but all Spurs fans have to be feeling some major fears that Manu's body is breaking down. I'd still take timvp's gamble of a two-year extension if he can come back healthy this season and playoffs though; players like Manu don't come around too often to a team that's not getting lottery picks, and I don't see any way he's replaceable.
Well if he does get healthy and doesn't get a decent deal from the Spurs or another team I could still see a Euro team coming after him and wanting him to finish his career over there just like he started it which might be good for him.
IIRC his career started at the Argentinean league
Manu's injuries are costing him some bucks, but he'll still get the extension. The Spurs don't want him as a free agent in 2010 and between the economy and his injury history they've got a real strong bargaining position right now. They'll be able to squeeze him into a nicely discounted deal. Manu will go along with it because he's got to protect himself. Between his injuries and the economy there's no guarantee that the money will be there for him in 2010.
