Would you trade him if it landed another quality big which shores up the front line being others in the perimeter are stepping up and being shown to doing fine without him in the back court?
Myself...not sure...one of my favorites...but seeing what the Spurs have manifested to do sans Ginobili might warrant what once was an unthinkable idea. Then again...maybe not.
Watch what happens to Parker in the playoffs without him and another PG.
I cant imagine what this board would do to Gary Neal and Green after they were forced to handle the ball under heavy pressure every play. You will find Parker on the floor at the end of every quarter when a team has fouls to give during a series. Any team with a coach who wants to win a playoff series would have Parker mugged. Its diff. when you dont see the same team again for a while like the reg. season.
go sit in the corner dumbass
Honestly, I'd be open to trade Manu at this point, but it would have to be for a quality big. Neal and Green have been holding up great thus far and wit TJ coming back, hopefully soon, we'll have more depth at PG. Manu's been hurt since like 07 and isn't reliable. Our team's playn great without him, so I'd listen to a few offers if they were to come our way.
I'm sorry, but this makes me laugh. Of course you're open to trading him now. It seems that Manu can no longer stay healthy and contribute. But if you were another team's GM, why on earth would you want to trade for him, given that it seems he can no longer stay healthy and contribute.
Don't get me wrong, if I were a GM, I would entertain the idea of trading for Manu, but I would offer little in return because I would be the one taking the risk. In other words, the trade would be lopsided in favor of the other team, not the Spurs.
Green > Manu
it is troubling that the spurs are so good without ginobili. but if they wanted to trade him, it should have been before the season. no one will take a chance now that ginobili got injured again. i really don't know if he'll ever be healthy again for a significant stretch. since 2007, he's never been fully healthy in the playoffs.
As much as I love Manu,I think if it helps the team in the end, we should do it. Parkers in his prime so hopefully come playoffs he'll get over the hump and play MVP ball. Manus on the far end of his career and the injuries are surely to pile up from here on out.
That's the realization I came up with, after the Clippers game.

Manu is done. Time to send him in a package for a big that will help us advance in the playoffs. And I know his trade value is low. Still package + Blair and someone else could give us a passable big.
Kawhi + Neal this year >>> Manu last 4 years.
If we trade manu, we are going to regret it so badly during the playoffs.
Then again, this is assuming he's healthy during the playoffs.
Man these injuries freaking suck...can't we use some uber cyber technology to get him back quicker? I remember Dirk had a pretty big injury and he used some strange device to get back on the court quicker.
Also Kobe is like part cyborg from some doctor in Europe, we need to do that to Manu.
should have traded him few years ago
There have been lots of stupid trades in the NBA over the past decade. Also, I think there are a handful of teams that would be willing to risk a trade for Manu. But if I were the Spurs, I wouldn't do it unless it was lobsided in our favor, like you said.
Winning in the reg season without Manu is one thing, in the playoffs it's another. I can't imagine the Spurs trading him especially with all he has accomplished with the Spurs and it would be a very bad PR move. Where is your fcking loyalty??
Sad but true. If anyone know my postings, you know I've been a Ginobili fan more than Spurs fan. But thangs have changed over the yrs. With the play of Neal & Green, Ginobili has become very expendable in my eyes. I say we try to package Ginobili, Blair, an Anderson for a big an a wing. To whom, Idk. I'm nor good with that kinda stuff but I'd love to have Mayo an Speights from the grizzlies. Or Tyrus Thomas an Diop.
Never mind about loyalty. The fact that an injured Ginobili was still the Spurs best player in the last two playoffs runs is what Spurs fans should worry about.
Parker knows the value a healthy Manu could bring. That's why he doesn't care how well the other guys are playing, he'd take a 50% Manu.
Manu has always been the Spurs' X-Factor. Unless we're getting LeBron, Howard, Durant, Love, Aldridge, etc...then no. Dude is a top 3 SG in the NBA and as good as Green and Neal have been, they do not have the impact of Ginobili. timvp's recent stats and analysis prove how valuable he is to our team
LOL ^ how many games has manu played?
a 50% Manu?Anderson is better than a 50% manu
you mofos been drinking to much manu juice. time to wake up to reality
The reality is Manu isn't going to be traded.
The time to trade Manu was before we signed him to his newest deal IMHO. Manu is here to stay.
Hahaha...this hilarious. Every time something goes wrong with Parker or Ginobili, trade talks start among Spurs fans. Are you that forgetful? At the start of this season, Ginobili was considered the best player on the team and Parker was dispensable. Now all of a sudden it's the other way around.
The truth is that both ideas are equally dumb. They are both essential pieces to the Spurs franchise and untradeable.
Manu will be fine. It's parker who I'm worried about come playoff time.
Manu has not been fine the last few playoff runs or non runs with injuries, so I would not say he will be FINE if he can't stay healthy. That said I hope they both go off in the playoffs to shut naysayers up.
Let's get it straight, we have absolutely ZERO chance of making another le run without Manu's active participation. Trading him for another big won't solve that problem. Also, people keep down playing how good Memphis was during that playoff run last year. You forget, that they took OKC to 7 games and they were one of the favorites in the west. I still believe that if Pop played Manu that 1st game, the series may have ended differently. Nevertheless, I feel much better about this team because of Leonard, Green and Splitter.
