Wow, I thought we were pretty sure after this unlucky season they both wouldnt go to play this summer, but after this it seems they both probably will play.
And a 3rd french flag poster in the row :
Parker won't play.
It's only com and nothing else.
Xap'

I do agree, most of ARG's media is going in this way. Manu having twins is most important than FIBA's WC and that should be pointed out as the main reason.
come on.
If ever he does play, then I reckon it's about time we trade his cheese-eating, ball-hogging, pudgy arse.
Manu will not play. He has a great reason/excuse with the birth of his twins.
I know they wanna play for their country but I kinda think we'd have another ring, if they never played international ball.
If I was Tim, I would be mad like a mother er and ask them not to play.
Bruno, I think most people get that he wants to control the media on this. Most people also think based on his prior decision making he will play.
Parker will be in a contract year, he can't take any risks. His body needs rest and he knows it... He will not play with the FNT this summer.
And next year, if Tiago Splitter is coming, the Spurs will have great chances for the le with a healthy big 3, an always improving George Hill, a 2nd year Blair and RJ & Dice having 1 year of "corporate knowledge".
I am pretty sure Parker will rest this summer.
Parker's situation is more up in the air, he can't afford another subpar season because that could really affect his next contract. Manu just got paid so that's not the issue, although his issue would be that playing after getting the contract would be like slapping the Spurs in the face. I think they both skip.
I say let them play, but if they get injured, they have to forfeit a large portion of next season's salary, if at all possible to do that. I think the Spurs have been very fair in letting their players play internationally. However, now these players are coming back injured and hurting the team that pays them. So I say if they want to continue to risk injury elsewhere, they should be held accountable financially.
Not possible, the contracts are fully guaranteed and participation in FIBA tournaments is specifically allowed under the CBA. Not a damn thing any NBA team can do about it.
In that case, you should at least wait that Parker announces his choice before insulting him or not. Bashing a player for something that he could maybe do in the future is lame. Wait and see...
I'm convinced that he won't play. We will see this summer who is right.
that sucks
Hopefully they do not play. I won't say anything about either player until I hear what they are going to do. I believe they both don't play though.
I think none of them will play this summer. They both need the rest, for different reasons, and they know it better than us.
Trust them.
No worries, he's getting traded anyway.
I think what will weigh heavily on their decision will be on how deep the Spurs go in the playoffs. If it ends early who knows. I however don't think they will, but if they do it would be rather upsetting.
parker up the AH if he plays this summer
This is a political statement meant to convey no actual decision or meaning. Does anyone expect him to answer the question "Do you want to play in the World Championship this summer" by saying, "No, I do not want to play"? Of course not.
Players make decisions on their own time, not on the schedule of some reporter who asks them a question.
But I guess it makes good fodder for those predisposed to dislike everything Parker does or says these days.
Manu already got his contract extension, i think there are few choices. Either he plays and retires from the NT, or he doesn´t and commit to playing in 2011 (the pre olympic will be held in argentina) and 2012.
I would assume that given that Parker is playing, and that he has just had an agreement with SA, most likely that agreement involves the one of these two options that the team prefers. And i think the team will want him to skip this tournament as next year will be perhaps the last chance for a tournament. (after that Jefferson will expire)
On Argentina side, Delfino is having a great year so Manu´s position will be somewhat covered. Yet we have no sub-PG and Manu uses to handle that as well, Delfino also handles it quite fine. So i think Manu and the team will go with the, skip now and play later option.
if manu did not want to he would have already said he would not bePuck Farker
Reading between the lines, Manu ain't playing. Methinks that was also a condition from the Spurs for him to get the deal he signed this past week.
parker wants to but I think he will look at his injuries and not play
