This.
And this.
Manu is needed for more than what he can provide in stats. He's been more of a player coach the last few years--he'll help mentor some of the younger guys and be a leader in the locker room--or do you all expect losers per annum, Lamarsha or Defrozen to lead the team?
This.
And this.
White is so overrated by this board.
Gay/Belinelli
DeRozan/Manu
Murray/Mills
Who is White jumping in that rotation? Yeah. No one. Manure's nose will continue to stall White's development until the end of time.
Didnt even mention Forbes, who Crater face believes is a Steph Curry that can defend all-NBA players
If White can show up and play, he'll get minutes--Murray and Mills will probably split time at the 2--don't expect Manu to be playing more than 10-12/game and he won't run on back to back nights. Just in relax.
"Manu won't even play that many minutes"
Man, do you guys ever get tired of using that line? Year after year, the ugly continues to close games and take last second fadeaway bricks that hit sideboard. His minutes actually went up this year too....
Wish trump would donsomething about this leech
I just find it hilarious how all of you messicans gave Parker for "holding back" Murray and White, being a negative on both sides of the floor, and receiving mandatory minutes..... yet there Ginose is, doing the exact same thing while all of you whip out the maracas and piñatas
You really don't understand basketball lakerfan.
Nice spin, weeaboo. You're not on my level kid. Don't ever try to debate me.
He doesn't have to, tbh. He's under contract. Folks don't expect Aldridge to come and say "I will play next season", so why Manu should be any different? It wouldn't surprise me if Manu already told Pop he's playing next season, but doesn't say to the media.
I'll wait for confirmation from Manu but this is definitely great news. Poeltl's value just rose ten percent.
It should be:
Murray, White, DeRozan, Bertans, Aldridge
Mills, Belli, Manu, Gay, Gasol
But I'm also afraid Pop doesn't have White as a rotation player on his mind.
There are plenty of playing time for White even with Manu being on the rotation. Ginobili will average <20 min. and will rest complete games as DDR will do. None of the others guards or wings will average more than 25min per game.
Rudy Gay is a 4 nowadays, not a 3 anymore. You can expect Cunningham and Bertans to play mainly at the PF and some minutes at 3, but you have to assume Gasol won't play as much as last year and Aldridge is not playing even more so those and Lauvergne's will be Poetl's minutes.
82 games give lots of opportunities for all the players on the roster. We're going to suffer Forbes on the court with some kind of regularity and for sure we will enjoy a few minutes of Walker if he works well in Austin.
Manu's return is all good news. The ultimate professional, an excellent compe or, and a great leader. In absence of Tim Duncan he is the best example to be followed by our young Spurs.
We both know Ginobili is going to announce his return (or his retirement) via an article.
what happened with duncan? mcdyess?
giving the vet a 2 year deal and then letting them retire after 1 and getting waived/paid for the second has been a thing with the spurs
If he retires, of course he will anounce it. I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me if he already told Pop he will play next season, but didn't feel like he needed to anounce it publicly.
I don't think Manu is still in doubt about what he wants to do; and if he knows what he wants to do, he definitely already told the Spurs his plans.
I’m fine with it but this roster is so egregiously unbalanced with yet another guard. So many people will be asked to do things they are not capable of doing.
You don’t debate hardly anything. All of your posts are nothing but insults. How would anyone be able to take you seriously. Try just a tad humility and diplomacy once in a while... otherwise you just sound like a bunch of hot air
I agree. Would be surprised and a bit discouraged if there isn’t a move for a true SF
I know. But the whole "he's under contract, so my assumption is that he's coming back" doesn't hold up given the Spurs track record with sending vets off to retirement.
You're right. If this were Parker, even if he were playing at the level of Ginobili (which is overstated), this would be perceived as his being selfish.
White is already 24, quite possibly (probably?) the best play maker and 2nd best guard on the roster, yet he's likely going to be mostly out of the rotation if everyone is available.
Gay is definitely a 4 nowadays (just like Aldridge is a 5), but 48 mpg of DeRozan, Belinelli and Ginobili at SF, is untenable. Even though they both lack lateral quickness, Gay and Cunningham are the only 2 at least somewhat physically capable of guarding big wings/combo forwards.
Sure, they'll be plenty of opportunity for Poeltl and White relative to typical fringe-non rotation players, but not nearly as much as there should be (barring significant injuries). Instead, they'll have to wait until '19-'20, when Ginobili retires and Gasol is waived, to assume the roles they should already be inheriting.
Awesome if true - I assumed he would. Let's hear it straight from the horse's mouth, but glad it's looking like we get another year of the legend.
