Would You Put Parker on the Block?

Re: Would You Put Parker on the Block?

Nope. This team goes as far as Parker takes them, which was pretty damn far this past year. They're not going to waste the last year or two of the best player in franchise history by purposefully rebuilding.

Yep.
With Moronovich at the helm the Spurs Big 3 have now gone the route of the Celts Big 3 1980-86.

Obviously we need better 3pt shooters.Letting Novak walk and keeping Bonner was a mistake,Novak has proved in NY that he's not afraid of the big games unlike BonBon.

TBH Parkers jumper could be a LOT better but he's 30 and has gotten away w/o having much of any jumper or 3pt shot his whole career, I don't see him developing those skills any time soon unfortunately.

Putting Neal back at SG would be a huge help too,he doesn't need to handle the ball,IMO that just rattled his confidence as a shooter this season

I think the moves that need to be made are obvious regarding Tony and hell the boat has passed on Manu but I also realize the reality of small market teams and filling the seats.For as winning as the Spurs have been they don't exactly have a rabid fanbase.

Unfortunately from a competitive standpoint we're stuck w/ Manu and Parker at least till Timmy retires if only for season ticket sales/marketing which leaves SA w/ a fairly un-athletic Big 3.

As for BonBon,well every white coach in the NBA loves these kinda guys and has one stashed away on the bench somewhere,the kind that really shouldn't be on the court but work hard and hustle and do everything by the book,you know that whole TEAM aspect that's served white Europeans so well these last 1,000 years or so,everybody else ...ehhh not so much ;)

But I digress and this aint the thread for the NBA's surreal race conundrum discussion

Re: Would You Put Parker on the Block?

Honestly i'd get rid of Manu before Parker
