Better develop a consistent jump shot...... That is all I am saying.
Needs to be evaluated for dementia. He probably also thinks it's still his team..
:facepalm
:depressed
If the spurs sign him to another 4 year deal after the next 2 seasons, Leonard needs to demand a fucking trade because I don't know anyone in their right mind who would keep flushing money down the toilet in a player that offers nothing
šIf I stay for a few more years I could be making 30 mil a yearš
:nope:pctoss:vomit:
Against International opponents maybe.

The op's username best describes Tony Parker's thought process, Imo.
:pop: "As long as he can lace 'em up, pay him what he wants."
Do idiots realize that Parker has been paid below market value throughout his entire career? He will likely want to stay in San Antonio beyond his current contract, but I'm sure it will be at a drastically reduced rate if at all.
But, no please continue to push your stupid, half-assed agenda that Parker and Popovich are colluding against Kawhi, the fanbase and organization at large. Too many stupid idiots in this fanbase, man......
Just like Robinson, Ginobili and Duncan if the greatest PG in franchise history wants to retire a Spur and play until his late 30's that's okay. He helped bring 4 NBA titles and unprecedented success to this franchise, so he is deserving of that level of respect. I'm almost certain he won't be manning the ship beyond the upcoming season.

Here you can dribble dribble all day long for the next 5 years, Tony.
Got no choice but to root for him and hope that maybe he's rejuvenated. Our perimeter/backcourt scoring is such overall shit, we need to take what we can get, unless we pull off something big in FA.
if we're gonna go on a farewell tour, I hope Tim and Manu also stick around for that long, tbh
Non-scientific 3:30 AM Math warning.
Winning percentage when Tony Parker has...
9 assists or more 86% (168-27)
35 points or more 82% (14-3)
FG% .750 or more 87% (33-5)
25 FGA or more 72% (13-5)
Dear Tony, focus on passing.
Hope he can play a long time on another team...
His contract is not that bad with the new cap. Any starter is getting 15+ mil per year
And if he want to play that long it would probably be at a way cheaper contract and off the bench. I'm fine with that for the spurs but I don't see the point.
If you re not great anymore you should stop
If he plays off the bench for the Spurs and he'll give way to develop some incoming young PG (Murray), why not right?
Are any Filipino Spurs fans going to watch the PH vs France game on Tuesday? How do you get tickets?

Actually Kawhi should try to lead the Spurs in scoring once in a playoff series beyond the first round. Once he does that, maybe he can start demanding trades.Quote:

The future TP will be asked to provide bursts of offense from the bench. When this happens Mills will most likely be gone, Manu and Tim will be retired, and someone not even on our radar will be the starting PG.
Makes my blood boil every time I hear this shit. Just take your money and shut the fuck up about it. He had like a dozen good games last year.
Oh God no. I mean , as the backup maaaaybeeee, and even that is put of loyalty
Aaaaaaand after reading that tweet, Durant has chosen to stay with OKC.
Lose the spare tire Tony. You're not an elite NBA PG anymore. Know your role and shut your mouth.
He didn't say he could be a starter for 4-5 more years. He might turn into a solid bench pg which is great.
:lol
#delusional
At a cheaper rate, bench role? Sounds reasonable.
Fat fuck needs to ride pine this season. Maybe trade his ass. Fucker is the next bonner.
This. I think there are a lot of international and bandwagon fans who have no clue what TP did in the 2000's. Dude was a Finals MVP. People get old, players age, and the amount of disrespect is astounding.Quote:

But people here forget that players give aging superstars high credit. Sure Manu and Duncan are shells of what they used to be, but players still respect them and consider them big assets to a team.
People thinking Durant won't come to the Spurs if Parker is there are delusional. Do they think he wants to play on a team with Patty Mills as the starting point guard? Patty is worthless if he isn't making shots. It's Tony that the Spurs look to when their offense gets stagnate. He's better at handling the ball and getting it to the real scorers.

Instead of debating whether he can be a relevant player for the duration of his contract, he's making bold statements of playing beyond it.Quote:

He's ball dominant and his playmaking was nowhere to be seen last year so that means all he has are those inefficient step back jumpers.Quote:

Im not a Manu hater, I'm a realist in a board full of Manutards. Compare the reactions in the two threads saying they wanna keep playing.
Shit. I thought for sure this was going to be about a conversation that OP had with Tony at an HEB. Those words alone ought to be enough to run off any potential free agent.
My condolences, Spurfan. Porker has taken the next few years out of the case in advance.
Pretty sure Durbeta wants to get touches, not be frozen out for the rest of his career by a selfish, delusional, fat heroballing faggot from France who thinks he's the real franchise player.Quote:

Sucks we missed on Mozgov, tbh, at this point we need somebody strong enough to carry him past November...
Just bc he says he wants to play until he's 40 doesn't mean a) that he thinks Spurs will pay him like an all star at 37; b) that he won't change his mind at say 37; c) that the Spurs will keep him on the team until 40; d) that he will expect to play 30 minutes a game deep into his late 30s.
I've never fully understood the hate for a guy that is the best Spur point guard in history by a landslide. Or how you have to choose between Manu, Kawhi, or Parker. At this point in their careers, Parker is more important bc he's a starting point guard in this league and Manu is close to retirement, but they both can still have important roles in the Spurs being title contenders.
Great post :tuQuote:

Horrible news.

4/60 mil contract ext coming next summer.
The reason I think we're all swallowing a little throw up is because there isn't a clear replacement for Tony yet.
Don't worry, Ryan Arcidiacono is about to pull a John Stockton.
i'm glad the trade deadline isn't anytime soon.
The hate comes from people that have to have someone to point the finger at when things don't go their way.Quote:

I say this every year but Parker needs to turn into Kidd 2.0, which means getting a reliable 3 point jumper. He doesn't have the speed to drive anymore so his best option is being a threat at the 3 point line to space the floor and playing defense. He's been shooting 3's at a good % but needs to up the volume and at different parts of the floor.
Compared to his production, Parker has sacrificed the least of the big 3. So fucking shove that piece of bullshit back in the asshole it came from.Quote:

Although the OP was just trying to troll and we got the usual nut hugging from applesauce and datard, there's an important point here to be made. I expect Tony would be fine coming off the bench.
As a backup playing 15-20 minutes, Tony could do some nice damage against bench units. It would make him more effective in the playoffs, where he adds value with his experience and cool-headedness.
Also, for those of us who actually know something of the team dynamic, Tony is one of the more vocal leaders and has been for years. He is a little like D. Fish in that regard. The young players look up to him, moreso than Manu. His presence as a veteran off the bench would be very beneficial to young starters.

Is that more like it?
He can still produce (far less consistently) and is making strides to alter his style, but finding a suitable replacement won't be easy or cheap. Him having the supreme confidence needed to still start - even with diminished ability - will be necessary while the team makes the transition.
Don't waste your time with that Manutard, bro.Quote:

"I've been fortunate to play this long and I'll take it one year at a time." The other stuff is filled with delusions of grandeur. He is an average starting quality PG now.Quote:

Manu adjusted his role and based upon the ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around, I imagine 8 Mill per is what the Spurs will pay him. Maybe I'm wrong and both sides will agree to less. I'd prefer that happen so they have enough money to spend elsewhere to better the team.
Hell, I don't think Pau is worth 18 Mill a season either. i was hoping he would come here for 10 but the market is saying that's not realistic anymore. Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought he would be a great FA acquisition.
He can, but as a backup pg...
Now it makes sense that Murray is delaying signing his contract, tbh...
let's seeQuote:

plays against the worst backcourt in the history of the nba finals agaisnt the worst team to ever make the finals in 2007 and people that don't watch the spurs(and the parker fans of the spurs) claim he's some great player from destroying scrubs.
offensively had a great first round in 2009, but couldn't stay in front of Barea off the dribble if his life depended on it, but that series isnt' his fault. They outplayed us as a whole.
2013 finals games 6 and 7(no explanation needed). Danny green is having the best performance of his life, then Parker sabatages that to get more shots and that Miami stopped double teaming him. He gets 23 shots and hits 6 of them. then goes 3-12 in game 7.
2014 wcf when westbrooke was killing him. Popovich had to basically sit him down to get a win in game 6.
2015 nba finals. Had a good finals. After game 2 popovich says, "u know, let's make Lebron work on defense. Let's use this young SF we got". From games 3-5 it was leonard's show. Game 5, we're up 20 and parker is 1-11. Can't hit shit. So then he goes in hero mode trying to win the mvp award with the title won already:lol
2015 first round with green playing like shit and Leonard having a good series thru 3 games, Parker wants to show he has a lot left. Game 7 was fucking disgusting. At points in the game, he wouldn't even pass to Green or Leonard.
this year in the playoffs.. well, nevermind..
And you wonder why this mf gets the hate he receives? I had enough of this guy before we even traded for leonard. I wasn't on the site then. I was posting on other forums. It's documented. He's a product of Tim and Manu. Had he been drafted anywhere else, he probably would have been tony delk.
Calm down with the "rape" usage. And stop rewriting history. Parker is HOF material
of course he's going to the hall of fame. 4 titles, 1 finals mvp, has a pretty good fiba record. Only a fool would argue he's not. And I'll say whatever words I feel like rape rape rape rape rape rape rape rape rapeQuote:

So the Spurs'll have a player not named KD or Curry taking the ball away from Kawhi/LMA in the last minutes of a game for the next 6 years...
This isn't about loyalty, gratitude. We loved him, he was the best PG in the Spurs history, but only an insane person could think he should continue playing in 2018.
at a low level.
especially when the pg position is the DEEPEST in the league. The pg position is what the center position was in 80s and 90s. Teams can no longer get away with bullshit ass pgs in 2016 and beyond. Especially pgs that can't defend. They're gonna get eaten alive. If you can't defend, at least offer something on offense whether it's consistence offense or consistently setting up teammates.Quote:
