General manager R.C. Buford talks frequently with Manu Ginobili's agent, but the Spurs have not told Herb Rudoy they want to preempt free agency.

?I don't think they've felt any rush to do this because they have exclusive rights until July 1, so they've felt no pressure,? Rudoy said.

Ginobili will listen if the Spurs want to talk extension, but only before season's end.

?Of course, it will depend on the amount and the years,? he said.

If the Spurs' final game ends without agreement, Ginobili will test the market in July.

?You've got all these teams with all this money, and only one can sign LeBron (James),? Rudoy said. ?His heart is really in San Antonio, but the onus is not on me, it's on the other side of the table to want to discuss this. I'd be surprised if they let him go to free agency, but it's their decision.?
