Injured hammy tbh. Can't very well dominate with an injury holding you back.
Fact remains, though, that you can't win a championship with a PG-led team. Not Parker's fault, necessarily. Just a fact.

Parker did enough to win us the title. Miracle shit in game 1, leading scorer game 5, miracle shit end of game six to put us in position to win. Guy was fn amazing this year.

Parker doesn't blame his struggles on his hammy.

I thought we let Scola go in order to keep Oberto.

Nope. Bonner was resigned right after that. Either way Scola to me is not the answer for no big run, some act like he would have some huge difference maker but thats not the case. He was or is better than Bonner though.

They basically chose Bonner plus Oberto over Scola plus Jackie Butler.

Keeping oberto, avoiding costly buyout of scola's tau ceramics contract, unloading Jackie butler, concern over scola's fit in the rotation (minutes)... These are reasons I've heard for the Scola trade; I've never heard it before linked to bonner. I think you're breaking new ground.

Didnt the rockets go on a huge run the year Scola started for them?

Not really. If Pop didn't have Bonner pegged as a starter/Robert Horry replacement, Scola wouldn't have been used as a tool to dump Butler's contract.
Re: Top 5 Worst Contracts during Pop Era?
What's with this rigid "what have u done for me lately mentality", concerning Ginobli. Having him for his first ten years with us for 10 mil and under was a serious paycut on his part. Where's the loyalty at? 7 mil for two yrs is nothing compared to what he should've been paid along the course of his career. Never mind the revenue the spurs org. get from him because of his iconic status amongst Hispanics and internationals.
Re: Top 5 Worst Contracts during Pop Era?
Manu went into the playoffs and finals perfectly healthy as the team's highest paid player, and may have been the worst guy in the rotation for seven games. Did Boston have to leave a starting spot open for Reggie Lewis in '94?
Re: Top 5 Worst Contracts during Pop Era?
Well I'm not etching out on epitaph for him yet, despite what u may believe. He was the spurs highest paid player in the last yr of his contract. Manu being a legend, it's not exactly having a Tom gugliatta or penny hardaway nearly max contract on your books circa suns '04.
Re: Top 5 Worst Contracts during Pop Era?
And no, I wouldn't really have called that healthy or even relatively healthy being at the age he is.

Yeah, I think they ran to a first round exit too.

They resigned Bonner that year man, do the math there. I am not breaking new ground it's obvious they didn't think they had a spot for him in the rotation SO they trade him and RE-SIGN RED!!!!!!!!!! :(
BTW the buyout was not nearly as costly as originally thought.

You know that he's not going to get younger over the next two years, right? If you're expecting him to be more healthy than he was for this season's playoff run, you're going to be disappointed.
Re: Top 5 Worst Contracts during Pop Era?
You forgot to add the 3-year extension that Manu got for $39 million in 2010. Dude just became fat and happy.

I'm not gonna go as far as to say that he won't a have an injury or two throughout a year, but I can certainly hope they'll be at more fortunate times then at the seasons end, so at least he's in a rhythm and has a better feel of his limitations. A person doesn't seemingly forget how to dribble a ball because of injury, but because of the latter.
