As long as we are talking hypotheticals, who would trade Manu for Ray Allen? Prior to Manu's last injury and Allen's outbursts in the playoffs while playing heavy minutes, I would have scoffed at the notion. But now?
One would have to at least consider :vomit:

He runs alot of pick n rolls which so that he ca get into the lane. sometimes why not call a play for someone else? Calderon / Rondo / Cp3 / Deron Williams dont hold the ball. If they see something they like then they'll take it. if not they give the ball to their teammates and they let them create. All 4 point guards that I mention can score 20pts any time they want. Calderon is a great shooter / Rondo is as fast as parker / Deron williams and Cp3 can do it all offensively. Yet they get their points within the offensive system and assert themselves when neccesary. Parker holds the ball and doesn;t run an offense. When he runs all those pick an rolls with duncan he gets big men on him. He always looks to score after that. The other Point guards mentioned will look to feed it to the big man in the post who has a little guy on him. By the way when parker does get those big men to play him off a switch, how many times does he end up taking jumshots? Parker is great player and he can score at will. However Right now with the personnel we have we need a real point guard to facilitate and run offense and put others in a comfortable position to score, and then when neccesary insert themselves into the offense.
Parker for Howard or LeBron maybe.

For sure TP needs to put Finley / Bonner / Udoka etc.. in a comfortable position :lmao
Congrat dude you deserve the award of the best post of this long, boring, shitty, useless, stupid thread.:toast
Well right now Manu has no trade value so nobody would trade us for him anyways. I'm just hoping Manu gets really healthy this offseason and since it's a contract year I hope he has a really good season to get a contract either here or with somebody else. I don't care where he decides to go I just want him to have a good year next year.Quote:
As long as this thread got trashed, which Spurs fans would do the following trades:
1. Duncan for Garnett
2. Duncan for Pierce and Allen
3. Manu for Pierce
4. Manu for Allen
5. Manu for Rondo
6. Gooden for Perkins

Furthermore, I'd be inclined to keep Tony as a career Spur because he's pretty much earned it already.
Tony is a much better scorer and Rondo is pretty good at everything else.
I do point to Rondo as an example of what Parker could be as a passer in the right situation, I actually think Tony is probably a better passer and better at getting guys open because of his scoring dominance, he just isn't asked to distribute as much as Rondo is.
All that said...I've been a Rondo fan going back a few years now and anyone that thinks he sucks or isn't/will never be, a great PG, is completely clueless.
His #1 attribute and probably his biggest positive in an area that is a more or less a negative for Parker...
Rondo's motor is always running. He never needs a kick in the pants to get him going. He never needs to be coerced or called out into doing it and even if he's not scoring, he can have an impact in virtually every other aspect of the game, because that's his weakest area, and most of the others are strenghts.
Rondo > Parker
In fact, Rondo is the best point guard in the league. I don't know if its his skill or Doc Rivers' doing, but the guy is unstoppable.
Easy there killer. He still needs a jumper and some consistency. He disappears in games and loses his aggressiveness in going to the paint. Since he lacks a consistent jumper, that is death to his offense.Quote:

But to put this issue to rest, even if Rondo were better than Parker, and I don't think he is, the fact is that the Spurs window to win is RIGHT NOW while Timmy is still playing at an elite level. And we need Parker's volume scoring, which Rondo doesn't provide. Plus you'd be shaking the foundation of the team and its hard to know what will happen if you do that.
He was joking... It's called sarcasm.Quote:
