Threadworthy update.

Might want to try a different le. Something like: Manu passes physical, will sign tomorrow.

I found this line interesting:

The deal binds Ginobili to the Spurs through the 2012-13 season and can pay him nearly $40 million over the three years.

Ludden could have said that contract will pay him nearly 40M. Phrasing it the way he did tells me that the third year is not fully guaranteed.

I thought the max was 38M? That would be nearly 40M

best news of the day, start buying those tickets boys this will be an expensive journey.

I was focused on his of 'can' in place of 'will'.

just thought that was an amusing use of "bound" by Ludden

Left unsaid : Manu has probably given the FO some indication that he will avoid playing for the NT.
