Cmon son, if the NT just told him to rest and that they understood from the start, it would have been easier for Manu and he himself would've decided and this "letter thing" wouldn't have happened.
Pay him DURING the season. It's the off-season. Spurs have no say unless it's in that contract Manu sign.

It is the TRUEST definition of hypocrisy, regardless of your regurgitating of where his pay check comes from. How can you not see that? I've said that I am actually GLAD that they are making him rest and invoking their right to refuse him to play this summer - but that does not take away the hypocrisy that you highlighted in the statement above.
Robinson>Manu=Gervin>Elliott>Kenon.Did Robinson, Gervin, Elliott and Kenon stop existing or something?
And why's that?
The spurs did not know Manu had a leg fracture during the finals. It was discovered much later (weeks?).
Come on. He's not better than Drob or Gervin. That's ridiculous. You need to let this go. The spurs have let Manu play for his national team 6 or 7 times over the course of his career. They would let him play this year if he wasn't seriously injured.
David Robinson is a top 15 player while Manu is a top 50 player at best.
Him and Scola have more power there than the coach or anybody else in the Confederation. The coach has been waiting since last March for him to make up his mind on what he wants to do.
The fact that he can play if he wants to is not a hypothetical.
What should've happened is Manu saying he's injured and he was not going to play. But he wanted to play, so he was hoping for a miracle that didn't happen.
I'm good with the Spurs decision. It's the right decision.
Don't clump me in to the group that think that there will be bad blood or ill feelings between Manu and the Spurs, because I don't believe for one second there will be. I know that both sides understand the opposite's desires and reasoning - and everything will be cool when camp opens up (especially after #5).
Apparently they do have say so what exactly is your argument?
Robinson>>>Gervin>Manu>Elliott.
Who the is Kenon?
The fact that he's under contract with the Spurs and not 'retired' makes it a hypothetical, and that puts the decision, under the current cir stances, squarely on the Spurs.
Could he walk away from his current deal? Possibly. It that an hypothetical? Absolutely.

Thank goodness Duncan got pick by the spurs.
Reports came out after the Finals (perhaps to hide/protect the injury from the opposition) that the Spurs knew that the injury happened late in the Western Playoffs (likely against OKC).
Manu will forever be underrated. There was once a list showing him ahead of Jordan, Bird, etc. in playoff winning percentage. He is a stud. David is 2b in my book, but no reason to be such a hardass over it. David just didn't have the passion, drive, and basketball savvy Manu does. They're both great men. Those lists are always subjective. Wait until someone breaks into your house before you break out the hardware.
If I was Manu I'd call the Spurs bluff. Appeal the decision, claim they're lying about me not being healthy enough and the extent of the injury, and see if the Spurs DARE to try to fight the most beloved Spur of all time on this issue.
Manu deserves the support of the Spurs. If he fights this, the organization would concede.
And what's this about disputing the fact that Manu is the 2nd best Spur of all time??? Drob was great, but he was humbled by Hakeem and never got anything done in the playoffs. Manu is a 4 time Champion, and has been the heart and soul of this franchise for the last decade. The Big 3 are the Spurs 3 best players of all time. Tim #1, Manu #2, and Parker close behind at #3.
The fact that he has that OPTION is not a hypothetical. He can play if he wants.
Same sentiments.Robinson>>>Gervin>Manu>Elliott.
Who the is Kenon
Did you mean to use the blue font?
IMHO, one can certainly put a strong case that Manu>Gervin as a Spur. Right or wrong?
There's a rumor going around that he will try to talk to Pop and RC, and that there might be one more round to this. I just think that at some point he needs to snap out of it, and realize this is the best not just for the Spurs but for him.
