@ baron

Don’t get me wrong, J. Terry is ice cold…easily one of the league’s best midrange shooters, and clearly a superior defender…but Manu is the BUSINESS. The guy, when healthy, is essentially an all-star coming off the bench. I don’t buy the “product-of-the-spurs-system” argument. You’re talking about a guy who was a Finals MVP. No system will get you that. His handle is insanity and he uses the crab/escape dribble better than anybody in the league save d-wade and maybe CP3. He’s been hurt a couple times, so it’s sort of hard to say that he has anything over Terry, especially because Terry’s been a workhorse, but now that Ginobli’s getting his legs back, the dude–as you mentioned–has been destroying people. Kobe, LBJ, D-Will, Wade…all those cats would kill to get Manu on their squaud, even though he’s basically old man river. Manu over Terry.

Manu is starting to come around and is even dominating in stretches.

Let’s rekindle that Jason Terry vs Manu debate now please.

If Hedo got a giant contract, Manu should at least get a medium-sized 3-4 year deal.

Ginobili is 32 years old, injury prone and having a sub-par season.

P.S: I agree with darkdefender, I think it’d be a perfect fit if the Lakers got rid of Vujacic and brough in Ginobli for the MLE to be the backup 2 and maybe play late in games with our smaller lineup.

i see two possibilities for manu
1. have a sterling 2nd half of the season and get an extended contract
2. retire a spur coz he does not have anything to prove now. he has gotten all of the awards a player dreamed of.
he will not be as effective in other teams and probable would not be happy to be a back up tp anyone.
he is the sixth man of his team and first five during the playoffs.
he is very valuable for the spurs
they will not win the champuionship without him
without manu, the spurs final score in every game is always minus 20 points. and you can take that to the bank

no one is talking about him cause he aint worth talking about. it aint 2005 anymore.

he still has some game left, but not the same as he did 5-6yrs ago.

which team is really in the market for a 32/33yr old 2-guard?….and at what price?…4yrs and $32million?…or 3yrs and $27million?

if DeMar Derozan doesn’t develop, Toronto might wanna take a gamble on Ginobli.

but where will the other takers come from?

Noone is talking about him because he is a product of San Antonio’s system. Put him on another team and he loses all effectiveness. Mark my words.

He should stay and retire as a Spur’s legend…
