so soon?
Where is the "Thank You Greg Oden" thread?
so soon?
I'll be starting one of those in June of 2011.
Why do so many people on this board want Parker gone?!?
Its about skill, son...not inches. Obviously you cant play Hill at center but you can play him at SG. You tell me....LaMarcus Aldrigde at 6'11 or Chris Bosh at 6'10 at the PF spot...if inches make a difference. How about Roy at 6'6 against Wade at 6'4 for the SG spot? I can do this all day...You really think a 6-2 shooting guard is a good idea? Really?
Why not put a 6-0 shooting guard out there? Hey, he would only be 2 inches shorter than Hill!
But his contract isn't up until 2012.I'll be starting one of those in June of 2011.
This thread is gold.
Wasn't Allen iverson a really successful small shooting guard?
I don't understand why you think this is so funny. I don't know what position Hill's exactly being groomed for, but when Parker was out, the backcourt duo of Ginobili and Hill was a very good one. Ginobili had his best games when this was going on, and Hill was also playing at a high level.
George Hill averaged 0.8 assists per game in the postseason.
The Spurs plan for Hill to be the starting SHOOTING guard, not PG.
So I don't have any idea how you concluded that this was Parker's last game.
If the Spurs have that backcourt and a decent front court, which can be obtained through that Parker trade, then I don't see the craziness in this notion.
Maybe we can trade TP to LA for ODOM so POP can use him as his point forward, no? This thread sucks. TP is not going anywhere.
lolwut
parker for chris paul baby
trading parker would be stupid he was really the only consistent player all playoffs
I'd be shocked if Parker got traded. So long as he rests this summer and recaptures his form of two seasons ago, I expect at some point next season the Spurs will work out an extension with him.
Hill is a third guard ideally. Maybe the Spurs prefer to start him, put him on top opposition perimeter scorers and return Ginobili to his sixth man role, but this notion of starting Hill at PG is ridiculous. Like Kori Ellis alluded to, he's more SG than PG. He's a guy that can play some PG, but even then it's best he do so with a ball handling, play making SG, such as Ginobili. That's why he's a perfect fit in a three guard rotation with Parker and Ginobili. His emergence has given the team some depth and athleticism in the back court, but not a viable reason to trade Parker.
Not even at the expense of being able to off load Jefferson would I trade Parker, unless it's a no brainer type deal, the likes of which the Spurs almost certainly will not be offered. Jefferson, if he's not gone next season or at the trade deadline, will be gone next off season barring something unforeseen. You don't trade a player like Parker to speed that up a few months or a year. If Jefferson had the contract of Turkoglu, then that would be a legit discussion.
With a 6-6 Stackhouse and a 6-3 Devin Harris as well. How'd that team do in the playoffs by the way?
What the are you talking about? Are you blaming Parker for losing the series against the suns?
Tony's not going anywhere. Hopefully he'll get some much needed rest. For someone as banged up as him, he played mighty tough ouy there. So yeah, thank you Tony Parker.
I'll thank him if he doesn't play for France this summer. Best shot the Spurs have now is to rest their core players and find a way to stay healthy.
That will be ideal..
I wish to God that trade will go through..
That will be less Parker haters around..
Haha, that'd be epic if that's how it turned out. All this time we thought we were looking at Parker Jr...except it was actual Manu Jr.
Either way, no one can replace Parker or Manu. They are beastly in their own way. I love seeing Parker get angry and take it to the other team without mercy. I love seeing Manu flying around like a crazed racoon defensively and draining shots.
We need to find quality bench players, not new starters.
Are you serious?
the backcourt duo of Ginobili and Hill was a very good one when GINOBILI was healthy. Did you not witness Hill completely choke in these series? Tony Parker is the only reason we weren't blown out in all 4 games.
It's foolish to think that after his performance, he's going to be traded because you think Hill is the better "fit" as a PG.
and trust me I know what you're trying to say... you're saying that we should trade Parker, because his trade value is high.... especially if we ship him with Jefferson and we're only going to get better because we have someone close to his skill in Hill....
And that... is wrong.
It's more likely that Parker gets extended than traded.
OK so you know what I'm saying. I don't know how else the Spurs can get themselves to an elite level. Even if they got past the Suns, were they gonna win a championship? Waiting for Jefferson's contract to be up will only put another year on Duncan and Ginobili.
Maybe Spurs are one-and-done in 2011 playoffs and then Tony signs somewhere else. I think Parker is our best player, but what good is having such a great player if there are other needs? They can't sign anyone significant because they're screwed with the luxury. I believe it's a gamble that must be made.
It's not that crazy a post, guys. Geez. I've been thinking about this since the series barely started.
^^+1...let TP9-Hill-Manu man the Guard Spot for the Spurs..
we need new bench player not starter
