Many of you wanted Parker gone last year for Troy Murphy and draft picks and now even you would admit that you were wrong. Horribly wrong. You should seriously re-examine yourself if you thought that was gonna be a good deal.
Those that did were acting like a bunch of immature Laker fans. Sessions is better than Fisher but the team as a whole is way worse without him, now nobody is there to keep Kobe calm, and he blew up today. Don't start acting like a bunch of Mark Cubans, stick to making this the team of teamwork, defense, and family values.
I suppose those same people are now making the case to trade Ginobili for someone like Enes Kanter or Derrick Williams but both those teams would probably also ask for Tiago and/or Blair in return, and that would be a bad trade. Let's just stick with what we got, screw it. What's important now moving forward is not getting a top seed but making the playoffs 100% healthy. Parker and Gino need to quit falling on their butt, that's why they get injured so often. Just as long as it's not the 8th seed, we have a pretty good chance of getting past the 1st round with the guys we got now.
This team now is good enough to win a championship. Believe.
And thank you to everyone that joined me last year in calling/e-mailing management in asking them not to trade Tony Parker. It's partially because of you we're having the success we're now having.

It's our depth that makes us contenders, not TP. Do you think that Tony will outplay Rose, CP3, or Westbrook in a seven games series?
ing Yes
so you wouldn't trade TP for CP3?
Who said I would?
cp360 been overated for a while
been on a decline ever since he injured himself around 08
also gives the spurs an even worse reputation for flopping
rose is a glorified allen iverson
westbrook is not a point guard and cant run the offense like parker
would get eaten alive by popovich for his shot selection and carelessness
parker is the best guard in the nba for the spurs since hes done it for so long and he can do what they need as good as any other guard in the league which is drive kick and score in the paint so help defense collapses and opens up the shooters
maybe only deron williams would be better
lol@Jason!
ing no.. I will never trade TP for CP3, DRose...etc...
We obviously did not watch the same games this year so far.... DRose and CP3 are below parker in term of MVP race. It says a lot for a guy that normally does not get any love from Fans...
And by the way, put these guys in the spurs system and you will see that their stats will be far away from what they get today!!!
TP is the man and Pop build him to fit his system
fkn OP talkin out of , quote the link of any trade proposal of parker for murphy?
yes we all want that scrub traded, but for the package you propose lmao, go get me a toilet roll come taste my ass clown
Paul and Rose notwithstanding...TP>>>>>>>>Westbrook. I'd take Tony any day of the week.
Lmao.
Seriously though, I was up for a Parker trade, but based on his comments he made to the French media, and the fact we stood pat in the offseason, why not?
I didnt expect things to play out like they have this season. Glad they did though.
You must be a woman ... pointing out that you were right about something that happened A YEAR AGO.

TP can out play or match both Westbrook or Paul. Rose is on another level, but mostly due to his uncanny athletic ability.
Honestly, only Rondo and Rose worry me against Parker and I believe the team is deep enough to handle those match ups.
Rondo????????????
Are you serious?????
I think it was last year when Parker kept underestimating Rondo, sagged off him, got medium range jumper after medium range jumper dropped in his face.Rondo????????????
Are you serious?????
Ok last year....
But Rondo rely on lot on his teamates..(not to mention Garnett, Bass, Pierce, Allen)... and if you remember well tony used to own Rondo Ass many times as well... Season to season TP>>>>>>>Rondo!
And one big thing that Rondo is not able to do.. create for his ownself....
Certainly not saying Rondo>Parker, but give the guy some credit. He's pretty much kept the Celtics on life support for most of the season.
No problem, i give credit to Rondo, this guy know for sure how to make play for his guys!..
But back to the main the subject i will not switch Parker for Rondo....
getting swept by the Suns and the next year bukkaked by the Griz in round 1 does that to you
I certainly wanted TP traded this past offseason. Not for Troy Murphy and picks but I did think he was a playoff no show guy. And while I think I am wrong, he still has to prove that he can do this in the playoffs. I always said he was a great regular season guy but I wondered if he could carry a team deep into the playoffs. This year I think we are a better team and hopefully will be a healthier team come playoff time. But in my eyes TP still has to prove himself this May. He is a very good player but I will not value him as much as Duncan or Ginobili until he takes us deep into the playoffs as the number one guy. And closes playoff games for us.
Ya'll need to stop being a$$hole$.
Tony Parker has carried a truckload for us this year. Take him away, how are the Spurs even in the playoff picture let alone trailing OKC in the standings.
And to all those people bringing up Rose, Westbrook and Paul into the question... don't be idiots. I mean, might as well flop Bonner for Ryan Anderson. And Tim Duncan for Dwight Howard. And Manu Ginobili for Dwyane Wade. And Dejuan Blair for Amar'e Stourdamire.
Be real. No one's offering Rose or Paul for TP. Westbrook ain't the answer. And TP is by far the best option for this team, case in point; watch a fukking game and you'll see as much!
Pulling the trigger on any legitimate TP trade would murder our teams chances for success over the next few years. That's a fact. There's not one trade out there which would bring back as much value as TP added this season.
Ya'll also need to realize Tony has been a beast creating his own shot this year... And his assists are up while maintaining a low turn over rate....(long been a point of criticism in his game). That not only means the man can create his own shot, he can create for others-- both at a highly efficient clip.

In other words.... BE KIND. DON'T WHINE.
It makes you sound like a b!tch. We've got a heck of a point guard on our hands here.
Murphy was a free agent. You don't have to trade your best player for a free agent.
this guy, go home Holmes!
1. I think Parker can outplay Westbrook in a 7 game series. Then again I think if you could successfully teach Westbrook passing and shot selection he would be an mvp canidate year in and year out. Something isn't right with that guys head, and I'm not sure it ever will be. Guy thinks he's Kobe Bryant and his team will win if he puts up 25 points no matter how many shots it takes.
I was willing to entertain the idea of trading Parker and still am in the next 2 to 4 years. Especially when Duncan retires. He's young enough he is still a valuable trade asset and trading him for an unprotected likely high lottery pick, or a young raw big with all star potential is very much worth considering, especially if you can set-up a 3 team deal with a potential win now team needing a top point guard. I'm not seeing it for this season as I think the spurs have a legitimate if outside shot at the ring, and will want to see next year as well. Once the spurs aren't legit contenders as they weren't last year (and I wasn't expecting Duncan to plateau on his decline.) If this plateau holds and Splitter improves as well as a bit more help inside, or Manu gains Grant Hill health (how the is he always broken and badly throughout his 20s yet plays at a high level large minutes and stays healthy in his mid to late 30s?) then don't blow it up. Once it is certain Manu and Duncan are done and gone why keep Parker instead of trading him for young players or picks to rebuild to contention?
