Is anybody else hoping we can get one more season, after this year, from Manu Ginobili?
Because I am. His leadership and even consistently decent play will never get old for us

Everybody is, but don't count on it. Enjoy it while we still have him.

Being from Argentina manu is everything to me... Realistically speaking if he is healthy he can play as the floor general of the 2nd unit a couple of seasons more, just being a passing first guy and shooting some 3s.
He also makes great screens, makes everyone move to the best positions in the court (he is literally coaching guys out there) and on top of that he isnt a liability on defense. Whats not to love about him? He only got paid this year because the team wanted to reward him, im sure if he is willing to keep playing money wouldnt be an issue.

I want to see Manu play 1 or 2 more seasons for our Spurs. I believe he's only on a 1-year deal so he would command an entirely new contract and it would have to be for cheaper, but hopefully the Spurs and Ginobili reach a middle ground like they have so many times before to keep him playing 1 or 2 more years

Yes.

5 titles would put him in super elite territory. I mean if they will pay him and he still enjoys it why not. He is still productive. Still making highlight reel plays.

Honestly, no. The man's had a heck of a career, and I'd rather him enjoy his relatively young life while he's still just that. Let him be with his family. In future, though, I'd love to see him become an assistant coach or something, though.

Don't we need his money off the books next year to retain others.

Yes, this. His hold is pretty sizable so he needs to be waived to get us just below the cap - which won't do much on its own to be honest. If they play to keep Mills and let Dedmon go then it won't matter but if they want to use cap space to sign anyone then Ginobili (& probably Mills) have got to go.
Edit: I'd prefer Pau to go tbh.

The way he worded his 1year contract announcement for 2016, i kinda felt like this is his last year

yes!!!

I thought he looked great last night

He's great.
Seriously playing like a 30yr old. I think his decision will be based on the outcome of this season. If we experience heartbreak in the finals or something similar, then I think that'll be enough for him to say no.
I think he'll be the last to make a decision after all the offseason madness.

He'll be back for one more. It'll have to be for veteran minimum though

Yeah he could play another season, even if he has to be reduced to later years matt Bonner role he could still do that.

Depends on what money he gets, if he'll take close to the minimum then absolutely, if he's holding out for decent money i'd rather just replace him now
He can still do a great job for us, but I don't feel he's cost effective at 15 million a year

no
