The Spurs have researched and are debating pursuing Suns forward Amare Stoudemire, according to league sources.
Questions remain about what San Antonio would be willing to give up, however, including whether or not they would part with Manu Ginobili.
Also, will the Spurs be willing to sign Stoudemire to a lucrative contract extension and increase their payroll?
“They know they’ve got to do something,” a source familiar with the front office’s thinking said. “They feel like they’ve got to at least look at this … and they are.”
noneAn interview published in Argentina featured a strong statement from Manu Ginobili about his future with the Spurs.
Ginobili clarified his comments for the Express-News before Wednesday’s game.
Ginobili does not expect the Spurs to offer him a contract extension before the five-year deal he signed in 2004 expires this summer.

In Forbes Magazine’s “What Are They Worth” issue that recently hit newsstands, the San Antonio Spurs was selected as the Team of the Decade among the four major sports leagues (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL).
Teams were measured by equal parts on-field performance and financial valuation growth since 2000. Performance factors were overall winning percentage, playoff appearances and championships.
On the financial side, teams were rated based on the percentage difference between its valuation growth and that of an average team in its league.

Manu Ginobili
Manu Ginobili is healthy after missing five games with a groin strain, but he is still working to get his confidence back.
“I felt great before the game,” Ginobili said after Saturday’s 106-99 loss to the Nuggets. “The good thing is I’m feeling really good after the game, too.”
However, he says that his effectiveness is down because of self doubt.
“I’m lacking a lot of stuff, mainly confidence,” Ginobili said. “I’m still hesitating, doing things I don’t usually do — passing up shots or not attacking the rim as hard.”

Ginobili was hurt during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against Dallas.
The veteran is averaging 14.1 points and 4.2 assists in nine games this season.

Manu Ginobili
Spurs guard Manu Ginobili has just one more rabies shot left to complete his cycle.
Ginobili was forced to get a round of rabies shots after capturing a bat on the court during a game against the Kings on Oct. 31.
He received his most recent injection on Monday.
“Of course, I will (be happy when it’s over),” Ginobili said. “It’s a different experience. I never thought basketball related to rabies, but in some ways, it does. I don’t like getting shots, but it’s something I’ve got to do and leave it behind.”
