Manu Agrees to Extension With Spurs

[Mexi]

The San Antonio Spurs and guard Manu Ginobili have agreed to a three-year extension worth $38.9 million, a league source confirmed Wednesday.

The deal is the maximum the Spurs are allowed to offer Ginobili under the current collective bargaining agreement, based on Ginobili's current salary and age (32).


The contract will not be completed before Ginobili and the team return to San Antonio from their current road trip and the possibility remains the deal could fall apart. Whatever concerns the Spurs might have about Ginobili's injury issues over the last few seasons, though, have been allayed by his performance the last two months.

That's a bit much for a guy likely to get hurt next year

 

[Mexi]

it is, but if they didnt keep him, he was going to Europe
hopefully he can stay healthy

But man, he got that money based on like a 2 month span, but good for him. He's playing like an MVP right now and is keeping the Spurs alive.

i think you're right
if he was playing the way he was all season, nicely, he gets MLE money

he convinced them to think he's back. and again, hopefully he is
i saw him on Sunday. he's fun to watch

They might be able to do some damage in the playoffs unless they get the 8th seed. Well anyone 1-7 in the West can do some damage, but them in particular.
