Spurs: Manu Agrees to a 2 Year Deal

[gnsf0946]

how quickly we forget the clutch Manu 3 against the Warriors to even advnace to the finals in the first place... smh. these haters.

you obviously don't have a problem forgetting his 3 before that one, Manu gave some this postseason but he took A LOT more.

also, Manu not contributing much if any trough whole finals besides game 5? no problem, we didn't really need him anyways but in game 6 not only did he not contribute but he was Miami's 3rd best player on the floor and that's not easy to forget (especially with Thread back )

which one sent the game to overtime? Which one counted at the most crucial point?

tbqh I'd rather we lost to GSW than had 6

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

for his foul on Dirk in '06 or his 8 turnovers in 6?

LOL. How about his 48 points in the Suns series in 07? Or his 24/10 performance the game before 6? Yeah, JJ Re who is making 6.5 million sure would have done the latter.

Jeebus, you're a ing asshole

I don't mind him being resigned, he deserves that much but I'm pretty sure he'd stay even with a 10mil/2year deal which would give us room to bring someone, but now the chances of that happening are very slim

We still have the MLE and LLE.

The Spurs prospects: Ellis, Kirilenko, Billups, Oden and Barnes all can sign those. , maybe two.

[mercos]

Considering how underpaid he was for most of his career, I'm ok with overpaying him by a couple of million now. As Thread pointed out, the Spurs are still close and can compete again next year with essentially the same lineup. Why mess with a team that was a minute away from a championship?

eh, we'll see but I won't hold my breath

Another typical off season for SA.

Now you're just talking like an idiot.

[sexinthatsx]

Thinking you can sign Monta Ellis with MLE

[gnsf0946]

Now you're just talking like an idiot.

why? same result (no championship) but without having 6 as one of the biggest failures in NBA history.

[spursince#99]

Manu was selfish for taking that extra $1M.

Just... stfu

[ElNono]

The Spurs are making that money back in the first year alone by selling Manu jerseys to be@ners, tbh...

They do need to do package Bonner+Neal and get some other playmaker in return...

Just... stfu

lol

[Nathan89]

They had it won. It was truly over. Not that goofy "a call here, a rebound there" malarkey. That series was over. They're going to mirror it, start back down & finish it.

Not a chance.

Tim and Tony should be making the max but s took one for the team. Manu is worth the 7 imo, so I wouldnt say he's overpaid...but hes also not underpaid. He didnt take one for the team. Especially with how close we were this season I figured he would to help us nab a key FA, pretty disappointed in him tbh.

You're assuming the FO would've used the amnesty on Bonner. I'm nowhere near sure of that.

[HI-FI]

that would be hilarious if this contract does come back to bite us in the ass, sort of like Manu's last contract. so is Argie going to run his body down in the summer, like usual, playing for his national team? guess we'll find out.

at this point, i'm just going to wait to vent GNSF style until I see what we're doing near the playoffs. Perhaps we're waiting for a mid season acquisition.

He already told the NT coach he won't play this summer...

Culburn with the goods in this thread.

Upstairs is a mess. Between the Splitter contract and Manu returning they are all lined up shoulder to shoulder, swords in reverse in front of them preparing to fall on them.

...and onto the sword they go.

[benefactor]

He had career lows across the board, his advanced stats were terrible, and he missed twenty plus games. He was terrible. The Spurs just buried Duncan with this contract...pathetic. Guarantee that Ginobili won't even suit up for half the games next season.

dude he did that THIS year and sucked at it. his shooting % plummeted and he hasn't adjusted his shot. enough fade away threes....and sure as enough with the Tony Romo turnovers

Spurs should of let him lose at $7mm. He's quickly becoming a player who gets on my damn nerves.

International Intelligence? We're not playing FIBA basketball. Everyday that passes this offseason is making me think the Spurs are less likely to get back to the Finals.

I'm sorry, but I'm starting to become more of a Timmy fan than a Spurs fan. Timmy scarified money for the better of the team, the Spurs aren't paying him back though. Timmy deserves at least 5 rings.

Nobody else in the NBA would be stupid enough to pay Manu 7 million a year. The Manu fanboi in this forum are like crack addicts with their absurd Manu love.

Great job, Spurs. That's almost a million bucks per turnover in Game 6. And that's at least 6M more than I thought it would be. I was hoping for 4M a year, a 2/8M deal. The guy plays 20 minutes a game, and misses at least a third of the season. If we had won the le this year, I could see this making sense - as a reward. But this? Tim makes what, 10M a year? And Manu makes 7M? On what planet does that make sense?

Called it. How much do we have left? About $2M? That's about the amount the qualifying offer we gave to Gary Neal right? Different year, same team.

MLE though. I bet we spend it on some unknown player like Vitor Faverani or we sign a point guard. If you're a Spurs fan you're going to have to get used to these 'disappointments', but you know there's always a solid reason behind them. I'm calling MLE on Korver, Kirilenko, Bynum (looooong, long shot). Ellis is going to get scooped up by the Bucks. Oden for the vet min because Blair is walking away. If not Oden, DeShaun Thomas takes his spot.

Manu speaks Spanish, and that's worth 7 mil a year to the Spurs.

There's no basketball reason to pay a scrub that much money. And that's what Manu is at this point, a scrub.

What a bad off season. It had to happen sometime. Our front office clearly doesnt know when to let go. All we can do as Spurs fans is wait til after 2014-2015 when all the money comes off the books.

This speaks volumes about the at ude going forward. The team has elected to play the nastalgia card and will be somewhat compe ive, but signing Manu to so much money is a sign of the end. It is a reward as the Spurs start a two year farewell tour.

I think most of us had hoped that they would find a way to transition to the next compe ve team, but it is obvious that within three years we will be a lottery team. The biggest question mark for this year will be, can the Spurs continue to win 50 games? I think they will win about 45 and be a 7th seed. The following year we will be fighting for to break even.

We have no way to improve, while the big three weather away.

game over man, game over

this plus how much Tiago got is about the worst case scenario for the off season

Glorious meltdown tbh.
