I want Manu back for another year, tbh..

[Spur|n|Austin]

not one of your best threads OP

Can you even start threads?

[Ditty]

Manu is still a of a basketball player especially defensively. He also seems to still be able to get to the basket if he really wants to, and get to the free throw line. Hopefully he has enough gas for one last hurrah in the playoffs as I believe this is it after this season. Hopefully he can also start making his damn free throws automatically like he used too a few years back & in his prime . He is going to have a turnover here and there, possibly even a crucial one, but he could be a difference maker of possibly winning it all.

Trump won't let him tbh.

[spursistan]

One of the greatest winner of all-time..No quit in him and with him.It is not about the numbers in the box score at this point..

[spursistan]

Team high +26 ..

It's hard to see him accept the Vet min, but if Mills is let walk, I would rather commit 4-6 millions $ to Manu for one more season than multiple ones to Simmons or another unproven guy..

[gambit1990]

would swap out his contract with tony's.

make it happen rc!

I still don't know what to conclude on Simmons. I think his chances are dwindling but he could still see time in the playoffs. He would need to make an impact there... otherwise it's really unknown his destiny as a Spur.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Manu has been nothing short of impressive for his age - if he wants to come back and play, I support it.

[spursistan]

At this point, I think he is going to get talked into another season by Pop ..

[spursistan]

Outside that horrendous Memphis series, I would argue Manu has had a better overall season than 2015-2016..

[Hoops Czar]

Better to leave early than a year too late. He needs to retire. Nobody wants to go out looking like Paul Pierce.

[TheGreatYacht]

no

Look at his stats in the reg season and playoffs. 2016 Kobe-level inefficient at this point....

[UZER]

Manu is Manu, yes he can have a decent playoff game now and again. But it's time to go.

[kaji157]

You always need someone that knows how to show up in important games. That is something that younger spurs need too learn.

[Phenomanul]

no

Really...? He saved his best games for THIS playoff series... the one people said we had no chance in... all for naught though given the injury cir stances...

[Duncanforthree]

If you want Manu Ginobili to go out on a made injury sweep series show yourself to the door as a Spurs fan. He can sit out all 82 games next year for all I care as long as he brings the heart he has brought again this postseason.

Switch in The Matrix said it best: " Not like this. Not like this."

[therealtruth]

He needs to resist the urge. Allow the younger guys to play.

[tholdren]

Yes cause just what spurs need..... NOT

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Manu was one of the guys who wasn't "sad to watch play these playoffs". It was sad to watch play LMA, Gasoft, Mills, Green, etc. Very sad.

[Dverde]

He needs to retire. Nice to see him playing well in the end. Much better than last year's playoffs.

[Ice009]

No, I'll take him back. I want him back after the heart he showed this series. It made me remember how great of a compe or that he is. He wouldn't/shouldn't be getting as many minutes if he does come back, though. He'd be mostly there to help mentor the younger guys. I think he'd be better at that than either Tony or maybe even Tim.

I think a lot of young players look up to him and respect him. I wonder if Simmons has spent some time learning from him because it feels/looks like Manu has rubbed off on him with the way Simmons has played in the playoffs. It seems like he's given Simmons a little bit of his mojo.

[8FOR!3]

His compe iveness is clearly valuable to the team still and something the young guys need to feed off of and learn from.

[spursistan]

Don't tell me he can't give it ago for another year, tbh...Doesn't have any chronic health issue unlike Timmy..
