Interview with Manu

Sorry guys. I cannot translate right now. Manu is certainly not satisfied with the way he has played so far this season. Also, at this point he is not sure if he will be with the team next season or if he will play for Argentina in the next international tournament.

I love Manu and I hope we have a few more years of him as a Spur, but honestly, I can easily see him leaving the NBA and playing exclusively for Argentina (maybe not even playing at all, but helping the national team in some other way, as a director of development or some other executive position). He’s a multi-faceted man with lots of interests outside of basketball (he’s like Pop that way), and he has two sons on the way, his first children, who will be born in June. Imagine the Spurs winning another championship in 2010 and then retiring — what a way to go!

I know where you’re coming from, but…. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

TBH, I have more angst about whether Tony and RJ will stay after 2011.

The Spurs - now playing like sh*t again!

I have no angst about RJ. I need to see more of him to decide if he is worth keeping for the years when we start calling him old. I dont think he would sign for a short term contract.

No, he’s said he wants to play a few more years in the NBA.

At least in previous interviews. Haven’t read this one.

If the Spurs don’t sign him, someone like the Lakers or the Celtics will pick him up ~~because they have money to spare~~ and I’ll have to watch their games. I might never forgive RC.

If he decides to retire I can definitely understand that. Once you bring kids into the picture the game of Basketball is no longer the same. Your entire point of view changes.

Wins are not as sweet and the losses don’t sting anymore when you have kids. It kinda saps your competitive nature.
