That didn't stop a whole legion of posters who have wanted to see Manu traded as far back as 2004. Tony's higher profile is probably providing some cover for Manu here on ST.
Manu has never been a head who has blamed his own teamates.

I hate to trade long time Spurs vets and one of my favorite Spurs ever...but if he's wanting out of SA then perhaps it is time to move him. I would not trade Parker unless I could get a team to take RJ/Bonner with him OR give us lottery picks.
Jesus ing Christ.
So the talk this offseason will be:
"Parker to LA for Bynum?"
Something wrong with that?...Lemme guess, you're satisfied with getting bounced in the first round because we're way too soft and small up front....Jesus ing Christ.
..sorry to say it dude, but your favorite player isn't -and shouldnt be- untouchable.
Horford averaged 15pts and 9reb and J Smith averaged 16pts and 8.5reb
....trade Parker for pansit and lumpia

Posted on May 21, 2011
Just outside security, on the way to baggage claim in San Antonio’s newest airport terminal, is a large video screen.
“Tony Parker, client,” are the words on it.
Parker is pictured wearing a suit, as well as an expression that suggests he, while wearing the suit, could take Jason Kidd off the dribble. Parker has lent his name to a San Antonio-based business group that handles insurance, mortgages and “wealth management.”
So what if this company suffered a bad quarter? Would Parker be as blunt as he was last week about the Spurs?
Or would he remember he’s being paid by the group?
If anything, what Parker said at a Paris press conference last week is the consensus. “Our team can still perform at the highest level,” he said of the Spurs, “but next year I don’t think we can play for the le.”
Bad guess. The face palm wasn't to suggest that Parker is untouchable, but rather to laugh at the notion that Atlanta would trade Horford or Smith for Parker.
In their backcourt, Atlanta has Joe Johnson at 18M and Kurt Hinrich at 8M. They also have have Jeff Teague on his rookie deal and will, presumably, have interest in keeping Jamal Crawford who is an unrestricted free agent.
Why would Atlanta have any interest in trading Horford or Smith to add Parker, at 12.5M, to an already crowded and overpaid backcourt?
They wouldn't, thus the face palm.
Cue those that believe Harvey is a mouthpiece for the FO:
"Spurs laying the groundwork with the fan base for a Parker trade."
That about sums up Parker's quotes. While what he said was true there's just no need for it. Not even Jason Terry would say something that arguably dumb and potentially demoralizing about his team, but like Jason Terry he didn't take much blame for their shortcomingsYou don't expect this from a Spur tbh even Mr. Longoria.
Considers Horford and Smith bigs to build the franchise around?
Automatically assumes I'm a blind Parker homer?
Ethnic stereotyping as his 'witty' comeback?
Congratulations! You've outed yourself as yet another GNSF whose asshole puts out smarter stuff than his mouth.
I'd trade Parker for some palabok...

I like pork adobo myself when it's cooked right.
Mmmm adobo...
Pray tell, would you list down all the other current NBA bigs you'd build the Spurs franchise around?
I could sure use the laughs.
fortunately TP is there to entertain us during the off season
Freedom fries, damnit.
Anyone wanna tell me why Phila_Chamberlain post got deleted?
I mean he is a insider who drop this bomb.

Spurs trade: Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson
Hawks trade: Josh Smith, Joe Johnson, Kirk Hinrich, 2012 first rounder
Magic trade: Dwight Howard, Gilbert Arenas, Brandon Bass
Cavs trade: Anderson Varejao, Antwan Jamison, #4 Pick
T-Wolves trade: Kevin Love, Martell Webster, #2 pick
That seems to be the main idea of things. Where everything and everyone ends up is in question, but the main idea of the trade seems to be Kevin Love to Orlando for Dwight. Due to Minny's cap space they would be able to take on Dwight despite not being able to match salaries. Orlando wants the 2nd and 4th round picks on top of Love.
Again, all very confusing and frustrating. This inlcudes several expiring salaries and long term deals. My Hawks source in this tells me they want to shed their long term contracts so it is easier to sell the team within a year or so.
