Time to trade Tony Parker

[spurs4real]

Trade TP for a big man like Brook Lopez. We need a true center to make the transition like duncan-robinson. Ghill can be the starting PG and temple as backup. We don't need chubby PG with no defense. I don't care what numbers say, you can see it that the offense with Parker is slowwwwww

yes it is slow.

All those that have said we are Parker haters you have it all wrong, well I speak for myself atleast. I dont hate Parker, I just love the ole Parker who passed first and shot second, if he had a shot. Love the ole Parker as opposed to the all-star Parker. hmm? weird I knkow.

[duhoh]

Also to add, Pay attention, please try, when Pakers running the team how the ball stays with him and everyone is left standing, and watch how when Manu runs the team, or dare I say Temple runs the team, how the ball move all over the place till we get a good pecentage shot.

when you mentioned temple, your cred dropped.

it's all good when parker has it going, as he and duncan are vicious when they click and make plays together.

The avalanche of stupid continues in this thread at breakneck speed.

To those posting against Parker: You DO realize that just making a token statement does not give it a basis in reality, correct? So saying, "Our offense is slow when Tony is on the court" is absolutely ridiculous unless you can back it up with MANY EXAMPLES or statistics to support your cause.

Otherwise, I can come back with a similar token statement, like, "When Hill is running point for us, 2 of our players are constantly masturbating on the court. Therefore, our offense is better when Parker is on the floor." And since there is nothing in the statement that's assailable, you cannot call me out for it.

See how that works? Do you understand the concept of supporting evidence, or is this thread going to go another 6 pages with you guys rehashing the same tired, faulty rhetoric?

I would say if we don't win championship this year we should trade him. I know that there is a very low chance of us winning it all but Parker may be our last chance to get some young talent to rebuild, George Hill looks like he can possibly be great in a couple years to be as good as Parker was when he made all star team a couple years back.

Trading Parker for a solid guard and a couple draft picks would be smart in my book.

Man you guys are so ing blind it is unbelievable.

Hill is not a proven commodity in play-offs basketball that's where the game matters.

I didnt mean Temple is a better PG than Parker, what I meant since I have to explain it to you in basic terms is that theres more ball movement, we stale when Parkers at point, we dont stale with Hill or Manu at point.

By the way people, take off them blinders before we lose Parker for nothing. See what we see, the future, not the past. Let go of the past, he did good for us, but its time to cut ties.

[Muser]

If he's gonna play in the summer and then come back next year all banged up then you trade his ass.

[jalberto]

Give Tony time to get into the rhythm of the team. And If you think he doesn't pass the ball..... it is a Popopvich responsability.

people saying trade parker aren't saying this because they think hill is better than parker or parker sucks or whatever..

we all know parker is better.. he's an allstar pg.. hill is a newbie..

and the quips about how hill isn't a playoff pg.. stop.. everyone knows hill has gotten progressively better.. isn't this just his 3rd year?

the whole point is.. parker playing ball 365 days a year coupled with the injuries is enough to cause the spurs worry that can be avoided.. see this season for example..

we pay parker way more than hill.. and so far.. even y'all gotta admit hill has shown he can handle pg responsibilities.. wasn't he the pg when we beat bos la cle and whoemever else?..

hill is not parker.. we know.. but trading parker isn't voiding our pg 1-2 punch.. but trading parker can give us great value in some other position that the spurs could use..

i know we all wanna win championships.. but sometimes u gotta sacrifice.. id rather sacrifice the stubborn player that wants to play ball during the offseason despite our concerns to stay rested because we've spent a crapload on stacking the team because we want to win a championship before TD expires...

i mean.. think.. imagine what one could get for parker..

you may flame me now..

How is Parker with the other guys on the team? He seems like an elitist, not someone who wants to hang out with the other guys. I just get the feeling that he is getting a little too "hollywood" for this team and could create some chemistry issues.

Hill seesm to have team support, they want to see him succeed and if trading Parker means getting a couple of good pieces that can give the appropriate contributions, then I'm on board.

I don't need a star in return, role players and draft picks are fine with me.
The way it is now the Big 3 could be Manu, RJ and Duncan with the way they have been playing. Take Parker out of the mix, and add in an athletic big man who can rebound and block shots, a stretch 4 and a deadly corner 3-point shooter and this team can thrive without Parker

[Sisk]

Parker's passing ability >>>>>>>> Hill's passing ability

Anyone who says otherwise is blind

[jjktkk]

I rather have Parker on the Spurs. Maybe if Hill continues his solid play into the playoffs, then, if the Spurs can get an equal, or better value in return, would I consider trading Parker.

.....when ballhog Parker decides to pass the ball!!!

.....when ballhog Parker decides to pass the ball!!!

Thats for sure

[DesignatedT]

parker-hill-manu backcourt is the best in the league. be glad we have all 3 of those players. losing any 1 of them will put us at a disadvantage.

[TD 21]

Anyone still worried about Parker's speed? He's flying out there. Even if he is slightly slower than he was in the past, he's still plenty fast enough to beat his man off the dribble, get into the paint at will and wreak havoc and be a one man fast break.

Also, in the playoffs, look at the Spurs likely match-ups. It's not like he'll be going against Rondo, or Westbrook, guys that might be able to slow him down and give him trouble.

[DesignatedT]

parker took that first quarter over after a terrible start

[DesignatedT]

Tony looking awesome tonight. going to be funny to see all the haters jump ship and start ridin tony's nuts real quick.

[spectator]

i would only trade parker for one of the ivan brothers.

</implied sarcasm>

[gilmor]

I still would like to see a healthy parker int he laker's line up.

A healthy parker with kobe, gasol and dynum is unreal..

[Spurologist]

No doubt TP is on a mission tonight

[TIMMYD!]

Good thing I didn't post negative on here.

Why is it that most of the people posting about Parker on this thread have not showed up in the past two weeks?
