It's true. Just ask the assclowns at the NY Daily News:

"Tony Parker might be right. The Spurs' last chance to win a title in the Tim Duncan era might have come this past season when they won the West and flamed out in the first round against Memphis. But as he learned, he is not supposed to tell reporters back home in France, "(the Spurs) can no longer say we're playing for a championship." Here was the Spurs' reaction: Oh, really? OK, Tony, how'd you like to go play in Sacramento? Or, how does Portland sound?"

Scared to death of being banished to the ends of the earth, Parker backed off his comments. Satisfied that their point guard was back with the program, the Spurs then turned around on draft night and traded his backup, George Hill, to the Pacers."

Yep. Besides - the idea that he had to make a public statement in order to keep from being traded to Sacramento. Or that some incredible offer might have come in and the Spurs would have said, "Sorry... Tony publicly apologized. We can't trade him now."

I wonder if they're lifting stuff straight out of forums and printing it in the newspaper?

Portland fans got pissed because another dumbass writer claimed Tony called Portland/Sacramento "the ends of the world."

How pissed would Tony have been if he was shipped to Minny? That would have been comic gold.
How pissed would his new teammates have been? Their wives would've lost their cell phones.

I think they would have shopped him to dump RJ whether he did those interviews or not. For someone rather young, he seems rather naive about shit he says in Europe getting back here, though.
