That has got to be one of the dumbest things i have ever heard from a basketball fan.

It would be north of $35 million roughly, it isn't ideal but it isn't breaking any rules or anything. The Pelicans have three bigs on the books for almost $37 million (Ajinca, Davis, Osik). This is the reason for cheap contracts at the end of the bench (Anderson, Simmons, Murray, Bertans, and LJC) those five players would probably make less than $7 million. Green is on a dirt cheap deal and Leonard and LMA contracts are going to be increasingly looked at as bargains.

Parker actually had a very good regular season, I would expect the same against less talented benches if the Spurs were to get Conley.

If we had wesybrook instead of Tony, we'd have a 3peet already.

Funny, seeing how Westbrook can't even win one with an MVP next to him.

Last season per 36:

Conley: 18/7/3/1 on 42% shooting
Parker: 16/7/3/1 on 49% shooting

Lol, Parker in his 15th season still better than prime Conley, lol.

Westbrook never had Prime Duncan or Prime ROLE PLAYERS to bail him out. We won game 6 OKC cause porker was "injured". :lmao

I am sure Conley will shoot better with Leonard and LMA on the team. Plus add better defense. But I agree, I am not all for Conley. It is possible we can get both Durant and Conley, but it will require them to take a little less, like 2 million less, and Parker and Green getting traded for Conley (Which I am sure Grizzlies will be happy with as they are not getting any competent sg without forking out a large bill.)

I'm all about SASdynasty staying strong on this.
I think he's dumb as hell, but he's making some points at the same time that no one is wanting to touch.

Strong...

Why? He had Marc and Zbo over there opening up the perimeter. So... why exactly will he shoot better?

You don't think westbrook, green, kawhi, LMA, Duncan/Gasol 3peets?

Did I say that? Did I even elude to that? Why ask the question, if I didn't approach it to begin with?

He's implying we can't 3peet with westbrook and laughs at the idea and you tell him to stay strong. I just have to assume you agreed with him.

Then you are not reading words correctly. I said I like a man being strong on his point and bringing things up that some won't touch.
What's so hard about that?

I mean, seriously brother...

Are we talking peak parker vs peak westbrook? If so SAS is hell yes correct

Are we talking TOSB parker over westbrook? The i'd say maybe. WEstbrook is very very good, but he's so ball dominant he could destroy a team. He could be turning a corner but it's not conclusive.

I mean can you seriously argue that Peak Parker wasn't better than westbrook at everything but fucking up the 4rth quarter?

Old boy was talking about current vs current, which is autism going crazy., imo.
He's talking about choosing a walking triple double over barely producing Parker.

Wildness.

You think OKC has a stacked cast? Outside of their starting lineup they have usually been very thin in their depth. Parker has had the luxury of playing with hall of famers all around him to help him get those 4 titles and wrecking Boobie Gibson to get his FMVP? lol. yeah.. let me ask you this, what super all star guards was tony wrecking during the championship runs?

Prime Parker was fast but I think Westbrook is plenty fast. As much as I give Pop shit about his decision making he made sure early on that young parker was not going to shit himself and try to get into pissing contests with other players.. Westbrook has never had that bestowed upon him, coaches just kind of let him do whatever.. but Westbrook is a triple double machine with proper coaching would be light years above parker.. Not to mention Chip helping westbrook with his shot because remember tony couldn't shoot either..

If we are strickly talking now vs now.. you're full on retard to think Parker is the better player.. Imagine teams having to single cover either LMA or Kawhi while PnR with Westbrook would be dangerous as fuck because he could simply dump the ball off.

Intersting have eye on other prize

Thank goodness. It really never made sense other than surface level chatter. I'm very happy with this news.

Spurs are only interested in guys 36 or older.

overstated implies that there is some interest though, right? so your telling him there's a chance. lol
