Official Tony Parker thread as a Hornet...

[JakeCuenca]

Second game today and he looked sharp attacking the paint.

7 Assist and 8 pts in just 12 minutes. :wow

Looks like a high tier 20-22min rotation player.

If he was going to get 20 mins per game anyway, he would have been a better backup than mills.


Really run the floor well and got guys involved with smart passess.

Bump

[R. DeMurre]

I'm happy for Parker's relative success, but this move-- signing a 36 year old PG clearly in decline, for 2 years-- kinda shows why the Hornets are an average franchise and why the Spurs (by not signing him) are a successful franchise. The Spurs have lost Duncan, Leonard, Ginobili, and Parker in the last two years and are STILL better than Charlotte. That's saying a lot.

Yeah, signing Parker to be the 10th man off the bench is why Charlotte is an average franchise. You nailed it. :lmao Anyways, It's not like they're paying him 50M over the next 4 year to be an elite towel waiver.

And after you get a load of Forbes, midway through the season, you'll be begging for Parker.

All silliness aside,Parker at this point is still a better PG/scorer than Mills will be at ANY point.Mills contract is truly befuddling

i hope he has a good season.

Simply not true. Mills is a much better 3pt shooter, had an overall better eFG% and TS%, a better OBPM, higher OWS, and a higher ORtg. It wasn't really close.

Cherry picking stats from Parker coming off a serious injury with hardly any playing time....umm yeah suuuurrreee

[SpursDynasty85]

Because 12 min defines players. Plenty of clutch 3's Mills hit last years within 12 min. Good for Parker but it was obviously time to move on.

This. His experience will be missed. Even last year when he was a shell of his old self, you could still see the offense stabilize and run much smoother with him at the point. I hate seeing his decline, but even TP at 20% is a better facilitator and offensive quarterback than our current group.

This season's success rests on guys like White and Murray being able to mature into that role and fill that void.

I look at it this way: the Spurs were not winning a championship with or without Parker, so why not let Murray & White get more minutes to see how much they can grow? I'm a big Parker fan, but at a certain point you just have to admit that a 36 year old PG with a few years of declining efficiency already is not a wise investment.

[Ice009]

Actually, now that I think about, he was coming back for a major injury last season and that may have affected his performance throughout the season. This season, with a full off-season and training camp under his belt, who knows, maybe he'll have a great season.

According to TP, Spurs offered him same amount of money so they were willing to re-sign him.

True-- Parker said that in an interview, and said the Spurs specified that they wanted him in a role as a mentor to the younger PGS. Parker declined because he still wanted more playing time, which I totally understand... but I still think the Spurs are making the right decision.

[bdictjames]

Good for him. I will always be a Tony Parker fan.

It was time to move on and give the young guys an opportunity. Sounds like Pop was honest with Tony about that. Tony didn't want to be a Steve Smith or Kevin Willis coaching from the bench. He still wanted to contribute on the floor...can't blame him for that. On a team like the Hornets he'll probably get to do just that. I'll always be a Parker fan.

It probably sounded better in your head and in theory but Unfortunately, we both know that most, if not all of Tony's minutes will be deferred to Bryn Forbes who is even less deserving of minutes and opportunities.

Cody Zeller, Marvin Williams, and Jeremy Lamb are starting for them. He still outplayed any point guard on this team in 18 minutes though.

Letting Parker go is honestly probably the only good decision PATFO has made in the last 3 years.

[daslicer]

I have always liked him and defended him for years against the Manutards but honestly he's washed up. His numbers are shitty in Charlotte and he would be of no use for the Spurs. The problem the Spurs is their perimeter defense is crap along with not having any athletic wing players and he wouldn't have fixed the problem.

Parker was probably in his comfort zone too much here. Now that he’s with a new team I think he feel like he has to be more focused. I think that’s something that realistically happens. So I doubt we’d be getting the same production from him.

They made him the centerpiece of the HEB commercials.

Really? I didn't know Bud was the guy responsible for pushing the Spurs to trade for Leonard. L always thought Bud was the guy that kept pushing Pop to play Bonner and when he left, Bonner didn't get much court time (he was finally put in the right role as the 4th big off the bench). Correct me if I am wrong on the Bonner thing, because if I am wrong on that, I've unjustly disliked Bud due to that.

Edit : Looks like Parker is looking rejuvenated so far. Let's see if he can keep it up. I think playing with these younger guys, now that he's had a few games under his belt, it appears that he's getting comfortable with his new team.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, you feeble-minded twits. Patty is significant to major sponsorship money. That money goes to the Spurs franchise ownership. It's also a fact that the casual fans like Patty, often just because he's a local celebrity, since they really don't know anything about bball. That sells tickets and merchandise, which is income to the franchise ownership.

You imagine that Patty must somehow be a net loss just because of what you see on the court. More likely, you never think about this kind of thing at all.

Get a clue.

Now back to Tony.....

I'm not gonna lie, but watching that vid made me miss him a lil bit. Maybe we done him wrong and that's why we were cursed at guard to start the season.

How can a guy who finishes from literally impossible angles be a system player?

I'm talking in the earliest era. When people talk about Parker the cite playing with Tim and beinga reason to place him behinda guy like nash who was obviously the number one for Phoenix. The truth is obviously Parker had pops system depress his assist numbers for many years. If Parker can establish he doesn't need pop or Duncan it should improve his hall of fame case

[MoSpur02]

Never understood the TP hate. He had/has game. Did everything asked of him. I bet the front office wishes they had parted with Patty versus Parker. He was offered a deal, but a very small role. Parker knew he could still offer way more than a 3rd string PG.

[SAGirl]

PATFO from top to bottom love themselves some Patty. Danny would get benched and screamed at after one defensive mistake, yet this fatass is allowed to run to the other side of the court when the team is still defending.

these are facts... /sigh

[superbigtime]

would love HOFer TP over Mills. When was the last contract PATFO got correct with Parker. I guess they figured he got his loyalty contract, time to be player-coach and support the team. TP wants to play til he's 40, wanted none of that. Some folks hate on TP just cos he is French and has an ego. Well who can blame him. Always liked TP and I'm happy for him having some nice games in Charlotte. Watching Patty is a disservice to my eyes.

[SpurSpike]

Just watched his highlights. Seems he has a lot more freedom to play his game with the Hornets. Showed some really good penetrating moves i haven't seen him display in a while! His last points where on a very deep 3, impressive.

[Mirrornick]

One bad game and y'all will get off the bandwagon fast.

[SpurSpike]

One bad game and y'all will get off the bandwagon fast.

That is true with every negative thing on these boards though!

I had always thought that he would bounce back this year. Parker was coming off a major injury last year and only played half the season plus he was a backup and didn't get enough playing time to get in a groove. He was on fire before he went down with that injury. Players tend to need at least 1 full year to feel 100% after an injury like that. Hell Rudy said he just now feels 100% this year from his injury (different type) and i think his injury was the same year as Parker's (just way earlier in the season).

[TimDunkem]

these are facts... /sigh

You know Mills has reached untouchable, jersey in the rafters one day, captain of the team status when he's allowed to flop around on the other end of the court while his teammates are still defending as Pop looks on biting his tongue.

[bklynspursfan]

One bad game and y'all will get off the bandwagon fast.

Of course. They only root for him once he's gone lol.

Also, last season he was still recovering from his injury + all the nonsense happening with Kawhi, the team never could get into a groove. I'm glad he's healthy and playing well tho. No one could've predicted our starting/backup PG would be out to start the year tho.

[Brazil]

[kaji157]

Tony didn't want to be here and compete for his spot. The offer to be player coach was made considering he would have Murray and White before him.
Had he chosen to be up for the challenge he would be starting here

[JPB]

10.8 pt, 4.5 ass, 1.3 to in 18 min at 48%... That's 21.6 and 9 per 36 min. And peeps in Charlotte can't stress enough his leadership and vet influence on Kemba and the team.

Story of TP's career... making doubters shut up.

Great signing for once by the hornies tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Was on Hornets Reddit (yes I know, Reddit, just wasn't sure if they even had a forum) and they absolutely love Tony. Some poster said he was god sent lol...

I've watched some of their games on stream and he looks like a completely different player. He's no longer forced to sit in the corner or force feed post ups. He's taken a leader/general role with their second unit and is always letting their young players (MKG, Monk, Bridges, Hernangomez) know where to be. He's averaging 21 & 9 per36 and his efficiency and Ast:TO is great.

He just seems genuinely happy to play ball again. Hope they make the playoffs but it will be tough with Zeller, Marvin Williams, Jeremy lamb, and a washed Batum starting.

Good to see Twitter appreciate him again for a change, unlike the retard illegals on this fan base. That gay dude Quixem comes to mind, he had an offseason wishlist that had letting Tony walk.

[TheGreatYacht]

This is the LGBT dude I was talking about that has a strong following of illegal #20 player fans...

[Seventyniner]

Tony didn't want to be here and compete for his spot. The offer to be player coach was made considering he would have Murray and White before him.
Had he chosen to be up for the challenge he would be starting here

If he had known Murray would get hurt like that he definitely would.

[kaji157]

If he had known Murray would get hurt like that he definitely would.

Endurance is a part of this competition, maybe he thought Murray could beat him at that too, you never know.
I think we all knew that Tony could beat Patty for the spot, I think a good thing to view all this is to think that Tony believed that Murray and White would be very good players and that it would be hard for him to outplay both of them. Which is a great compliment from Tony to our younger guys.
I also believe that he knew in advance that Manu was leaning towards retirement and that influenced him about deciding to leave, same way as Manu decided knowing Tony wouldn't be here. After all they were also good friends.

[JeffDuncan]

Has everybody forgotten? There wasn't any point guard competition. The Spurs decided to go younger, with Murray as the starter, especially with Parker's injury history the last few years. It's nice to see Parker doing well, in some games, but he is very very close to the end of his career.

[TDomination]

I hope the Hornets make the playoffs. He keeps talking about keeping his playoff streak alive. I think the Hornet fans are beginning to warm up to Parker. Yeah he's old, but he's still serviceable when healthy. High BBall IQ.

Good point. He prolly knew Manu was gone and needed a new challenge, something to prove, which he all has in SA. Wasn't seeing himself alone, not as a key player after all is done.

Better keep a great image of TP as a spur than seeng him warm the bench. East is lighter in great PGs too and he already had complicity with Borrego. Add a good friend in Batum + a nice contract and charlotte made a lot of sense.

[boutons_deux]

What’s interesting is Parker’s assist rate per minute. I think Spurs style over the years with emphasis on ball movement and all Parker’s hockey assists held down his assist numbers.

tp9 always said he was shoot-first gurad

[SpursRussia]

Another low key great game by Tony, 2 clutch baskets to seal the win agains Boston, played the entire 4th quarter. Played within himself, made great passes and scored the ball when his team need it most. If only Spurs had someone like him in their roster...

Yup, there was a report that Kemba and I think Marvin Williams couldn't wait to play with Tony when they first heard the news. It's evident he's Kemba's favorite teammate tbh

Clutchest guard in franchise history doing what he does..

[MultiTroll]

I sure am glad Parker didn't come into Charlotte the best shape in 7 years and is giving the most effort since the start of 2015.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I think at first glance when talking about the Spurs it's easy to say the loss of Kawhi is what's hurting them, but the truth is this team lost 5 guys who all contributed to the Spurs' success from last year's roster. Tony was the Spurs best point guard even when he had declined. No one else on the team could control the offense and the flow of the game like he could. Add to those defections, the injury to Murray, the inability to get our first round pick, Walker, acclimated due to injury, Pau out, and Rudy being hobbled, and it's easy to understand why the Spurs are less than stellar right now.

I'm glad to see Tony playing well...Pop is probably kicking himself for letting Tony walk, considering we basically have no point guard this year.

[TheGreatYacht]

There's a handful of Tony threads, not sure which one to bump anymore :lol

HOTS does it all. He's the living walking proof that advanced stats were created by nerds who don't know shit about basketball. Hornets fans and writers love him, tbh. The majority call him their best FA signing in forever.

[apalisoc_9]

Tony is better than Mills. Thats not even a question specially in 2018 ball.

The lanes are open so tony is just eating.

Mills is practiclly a shooter. If his shots arent connecting. He is useless.

Tony is also better than forbes.

[J_Paco]

He's routinely had Jamal Murray's, piss poor defender that he is, number so that stat line isn't too shocking.

I'm happy he's doing so well in Charlotte even if in limited minutes.

I'm also happy that he's no longer on the team so people can have one less thing to bitch about. As disappointing as this season has been it was clearly the right time to part ways.

Now, the Spurs just need White to show some assertiveness and consistency on offense. He needs to start putting a string of good games together and stop with the up - down -way down play. He's no better than Tony was last year on offense at this point (clearly the defense is much better).

[SouthTexasRancher]

Unsettling to see TP in another uniform. He was the heart and soul of the TD era & should have retired wearing the silver and black.

It was his decision to make and he made the right one. Awesome to see him have a bit of a "resurgence" after the struggles of last season.

[bdictjames]

Great signing by the Hornets. Happy for Tony.

[Brazil]

you can tell that hornets fo and the fans love him tbh...

happy for him.. it does suck tho.. with murray out, he would have got the same role this season with the Spurs..

c'est la vie

[kaji157]

You can tell that he is also slimmer than the last three years here
Clearly Tony needed a different kind of set, a bit of the motivation he didn't have here anymore.

[Othyus Lalanne]

I always knew he can be awesome no matter what anyone said.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I was worried with his injury that he'd be done. Glad that wasn't the case. :tu

[ElNono]

I was worried with his injury that he'd be done. Glad that wasn't the case. :tu

He's been done for 4+ years now, tbh

[8FOR!3]

Parker is clearly more motivated in Charlotte and I'm happy for him. I also understand why he needed the change of scenery. Not the Spurs fault and not Parker's fault. It would have been sad if he looked like he did last year or worse in Charlotte, but the fact that he went there looks like he's in great shape and is really contributing rocks.

[TheGreatYacht]

He's been done for 4+ years now, tbh
Manu's been done since 2012 tbf

[ElNono]

:lol Porker fluffers bringing up Manu to deflect per par...

I get the Spurs suck and that the Murray injury would've given Tony an opportunity to play more minutes or have his old role back, but none of that invalidates that Tony is at best a bench player at this point, and that shouldn't be offensive in any way considering the career he's had.

[TheGreatYacht]

51 points in his last three games (58 minutes total)

Hornets above .500 :tu

[ElNono]

I'm actually pretty happy he's doing good with the Hornets, hopefully it means he'll stay with them...

I also hope he doesn't call and leads a team meeting with Kemba, tbh, wouldn't want Toronto to get even more loaded, tbh...

[timvp]

but none of that invalidates that Tony is at best a bench player at this point

Interesting choice of argument considering Manu was a bench player his whole career :stirpot:

[TheGreatYacht]

I see the :fishing, but I'll raise that it actually also worked out well in the sense that when his athleticism declined, he was ready for that role, and more acclimated to it.

Ultimately, actions speak louder than words, and despite all the nice things Tony said about mentoring Murray when he got demoted last season, be bailed ASAP...

That's actually what's sad about this, when players don't realize that their time is really up, at least on certain roles.

Both Tim and Manu left with fans thinking they could easily play at least one more season, I think Tony can also do that coming from the bench (with the Hornets), tbh...

[hombre]

Interesting choice of argument considering Manu was a bench player his whole career :stirpot:

Manu Ginobili was a starter (70+ starts) for the Spurs for two seasons, six years apart. Both times he was an All-Star.

No need to worry about a tribute for Parker, although I suppose there'll be one of some kind.

But he's basically French. He played for France in the Olympics, he owns a French basketball team, and he's already been named a Chevalier in the French Legion of Honor. So it's really up to the French to give him the tribute when he retires. The French premier will probably pin a medal on him, kiss him on the cheeks, and they'll have a big parade.

I actually don’t think the Spurs offer him a guaranteed contract. There is absolutely no need for him assuming the retain all their guards in the offseason. It would be counter productive to use a spot for him. Pretty sad as I’m a TP fan.

All this trolling aside, what's Tony's future? All I know is Sean said they'd be retiring his number in SA next year, which obviously implies retirement. On the other hand, Hornet have a game in Paris next year and TP might the team's ambassador.

If he is done, sad. Dirk and DWade get tributes, Tony gets a DNP. Not right with the karma...

I believe he will play next year tbh... dat Paris event is big for him, perfect way to say goodbye to the French fans
