If he wants more than what the Spurs think he's worth, they show him the door ever so kindly.
Honestly, I hate to bring this up, but I just feel that most don't feel for Manu the way it was before, even to Tony too. I bet a lot of teams out there would rather have Manu in their team. Hope to see a major sky to the limit offer for MANU!!! So will give a much room for your newly found fave Spurs players. That hurts really!!!

I don't think you will see a "major sky to the limit" offer for Manu, if you mean a max offer. He'll be 33 that summer, and Manu probably won't play much after 35.
But I don't know what you mean about most don't feel the same for him. He's still a fan favorite here.
yeah, maybe am just the one feeling paranoid at times...![]()
Just because fans might love Mason or Hill, it doesn't mean they love Manu less. There's enough love to go aroundIt's like when you have a second child, it doesn't mean you love your first child less.
dats a kewl one...good reader between the lines...so treat me then as one of those your child...

Hopefully, very little if any chance at all.
I actually think Manu has a better chance playing in Europe in 2010 than he does playing for another NBA team other than San Antonio.
He'll stay with the Spurs.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Manu signing a contract extension with Spurs soon.
Spurs and Manu have had some talk about that but Spurs wanted to see how he recovers of the ankle surgery before pursuing negotiations.
While Manu still isn't at 100%, he looks like he has successfully recovered from this injury. Spurs and his agent should be back at the negotiation table soon and a agreement could be find.
i hope he stays. i cant imagine him in another uniform.
if i was Manu and i happen to visit this site regularly... you can kiss my ass goodbye.
That's funny. Manu is probably the most loved by SpursTalk-ers.
Cuz they're all atheists.

I agree that Manu will be signed to an extension before he ever becomes a free agent. However, I think it'll be this upcoming summer after the Spurs make sure his ankle holds up for the entire season.
At that time, I expect something like a 2-year, $22-25M offer and for Manu to take it.
timvp, in your opinion, what are the chances in 2010 that:
1)The Spurs are serious contenders for Chris Bosh, and
2)Tiago Splitter joins the Spurs?
I hope for the sake of the Spurs he is traded after, or during this season for a young big. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate what Manu has done, but it is the prudent move to make.
i trade him to the blazers for oden.....anyone not named duncan is tradeable....
I see people get critical about Manu on here a lot. I hardly ever see anyone have anything negative to say about Tim. It's almost like it's blasphemy on this board to say anything negative about him. But what can you really say negative about him? Other than he hasn't rebounded the ball as well as in previous years up to this point.
I can't imagine a Spurs team without Manu. He embodies every single values that Spurs is all about.
To extend the Spurs dynasty, it is sad and painful to think that we may have to trade Manu at some point. Manu is Pop's favorite and fan's favorite. Manu is also our tradeable asset where we can get some valuable asset back in return who can help us run beyond Duncan's time.
If we sign Manu for max money in 2010 (Manu deserves every single penny), we may not have the financial flexibility to keep contending in the long run.
While Bosh is from Texas and he's friendly with Duncan, it's an extreme long-shot that he lands in San Antonio. I'm not even sure the Spurs will have the max money to offer him. Right now, I'd say the chances are less than 1%.
I'm not sure about Splitter. At least part of his issue with not signing with the Spurs this past season was because the Spurs "had too many bigmen" and he didn't know how much he'd play. With KT, Oberto, Bonner and Mahinmi all potentially being free agents, that might be enough to persuade Splitter.
But who knows. Splitter may continue staying in Tau for the money and won't want to risk life in the NBA. For the Spurs sake, hopefully there is some change in the CBA to allow the Spurs to offer him more than a rookie deal. If that doesn't happen, hopefully at least the dollar gets stronger against the Euro by 2010 to make the ocean between his two potential salaries not as vast.
Manu is pretty cute a player with duncan's PicknRoll and drawing defense pressure, but he isn't gonna be that cute with the pressure Tims draws for him. He is a great player here in san antonio but he is nothing in any other team. Just like Ben wallace who was thrice year's defender in detroit but just a crap in either Chicago or Cleverland, Manu won't be a little bit better than ben's case if we walks from san antonio to Houston or Dallas.
Fool Ben is in CLEVERland.
Yep...........And Ill add I think his days of betraying his coach and team mates wishes and playing for Argentina are done.
You suck.
I think the Spurs will do whatever is necessary to sign manu to an extension and will be successful. After the extension, I see manu playing out his days in Europe.
