NBA teams simply don't respect the rule.
I think it should be a rule they can not play
I think all pros should not be allowed to play for any other team then the team they have their nba contract with
but is against the rules
but I think french giving the spurs 300 pictures and spurs not believing tp is stupid
If I was paying a player 15 million a year I wouldn't respect the stupid ass ing re ed rule either.
The one of few times I'm in full agreement with Mark Cuban on an issue.
Mickael Pietrus ans Joakim Noah are both in the US right now: Pietrus has to heal a bad wrist and Noah doesn't know how to say no to the Bulls.
Turiaf is a little bit hurt and isn't good right now.
I think it is still possible that France beat Italy but it sure isn't easy without the best players, you know?
Okay, give me the facts. All I've said is TP broke his finger. The French NT wanted him to keep playing. Pop called and ordered TP to stop playing and come back to San Antonio.
Which part of that is a lie? Or is your ultimate French homerness blinding you like usual?
you said that the french staff was intending to play him risking worsening it.

i say it wasn't a big injury. i say that the french medical staff knew what they did (or would have done). and i know that TP would have play without a doubt through it if it happened during the PO with the spurs.
That proves that the spurs don't give a about the NT. you can agree, but that has nothing to do with TP health being in danger with the french NT. not then and not now.
I love how when you have a nice source, dumb s love to say "SAY YOUR SOURCE!"
Well, if you say the source, then you have no source.
Its best just not to share the info anymore. I've learned my lesson.
The bold part is a lie, timvppp.

Well, French NT staff is reporting that Parker called them Saturday evening to say that he had the green light to come back. They are even saying things as precise as that he will be early in the evening in Pau (french town where the NT will play against Finland). So I guess they even know what flights Tony will take.
The info about leaving SA on Wednesday come from Tony so I guess it's reliable.
Who is writing it in L'Equipe? Olivier? If so, he's one of Tony's close friends so he probably knows the scoop.
do you mean thursday instead of wednesday (which is the same thing more or less) or way after ?
because not only the info comes from the french NT staff, but from TP himself who called the manager.
Either they're lying (but since french media do that, why not french staff after all), either TP will have another very bad surprise from the spurs FO till wednesday. but right now, TP surely knows he's coming back soon. (thursday afternoon).

And that's true. Were you even a basketball fan back then?
It wasn't a big injury? He had a cracked bone in his finger and his finger is still crooked to this day. If he would have been hit again before it healed, he would have been out for months.
Not for sure. But it is for sure that he would have missed regular season games. And those NT games were equivalent to regular season.
Yes, his health was in danger. He was one hit away from missing the first few months of the NBA regular season. When he came back to San Antonio, they put him in a cast right away.
You can say the Spurs don't GAF about the NT, but that's just as true as saying the NT doesn't GAF about the Spurs. It's a two-way street for those who are looking at it without a homer view involved.
Oh I know your stuff is good my friend, just venting a tad
Xavier Colombani
Yeah Olivier is a good friend of mine. I don't need you to tell me who he is
The info doesn't come from L'Equipe but from Patrick Beesley who is French NT GM. It's a direct quote from him saying that TP called him to say he will leave SA on Wednesday.
Then (unless he's just making things up) Tony probably has his flight already.
Patrick Beesley sounds American. Maybe he is a double agent
please, be serious. when did the spurs prevent tony to play for the spurs. do you imagine them asking him to come back to france because of an injury he had with the spurs ?
i know the spurs are paying him, but still, you can't put spurs and france NT behaviour in the same level.
what did the spurs would have done if the french medical staff did the same thing to mahinmi the spurs one did ? They would immediately prevent any spurs player to play with the french NT.
i can understand the spurs being extra cautious. but on this one, they could have sent more medical staff members in France to see him without calling him back.
I asked who (meaning which writer) was writing it (this particular news) in L'Equipe.
why the should they pay their guys to do that when he got hurt on bull NT time?i can understand the spurs being extra cautious. but on this one, they could have sent more medical staff members in France to see him without calling him back.
This whole thing is so much more of a big deal to people in this thread than it is to Tony or the Spurs
He got injured. The Spurs were worried about what was on the x-ray/MRI. They called him to back. Tony was initially upset because he thought the injury was nothing. He came to SA, got checked out and is going back to France.
You can't blame Tony/NT for being initially upset. You can't blame the Spurs for wanting to take a look at him, considering how much they have invested in this season. Tony understands that by now. This isn't something that is going to have an effect on anything in the future, so I don't get why fans are so riled on either side.
The ?
The NT doesn't care about the Spurs. The Spurs don't care about the NT. That's pretty much fact.
Now you are just talking crazy. I didn't say both en ies were equal in their action. But if the French NT was the one paying salary and the Spurs weren't, you can bet your azz that the roles would at the very least be reversed.
The only way to get a 100% accurate reading without any chance that the NT was fiddling with the results was to send him to SA. If the NT had a history of having TP's long-term health in mind, then the Spurs probably could have trusted their word and their machines. But that trust doesn't exist.
And I'm still waiting for you to tell me how I lied about the finger situation. Seems like you were the liar, pal.
you're taking your own suppositions like if they were facts. and repeating them again and again won't ever make them facts.
and the liar thing (sorry if it sounded harsh) was also for your whole post. yes, the inury was the same as the french mediacal staff found and yes TP was really upset/angry about the spurs behaviour.
i know you're consitent on this topic spurs-NT because i think i remember a thread where you said you were against spurs player playing in NT (or maybe outside Olympics, not sure).
but still the NT is very important for many bball fans, even if there is no money involved.
A lot of discussion about a mild ankle sprain.
You'd think Parker had extremely thin ACLs that got him red flagged by 29 team doctors or something.
