it reads as if he would be going if next season wasn't a contract year.
whatever. business is business. on both sides.
Good news. Thanks for the translation
Next year is quickly turning into the last chance to add le number five. Both TP and Manu are talking about playing in future summers ... plus Duncan is the age where he probably has one season left before he falls off a cliff.
2010-11: The Last Chance
This is not some noble act by tp. This is only bc he is in a contrct year. As soon as he gets his deal it will be back to nt ball and more tired play. Good news short term bc we will get contract year tp, but not so good news long term if we get more years like this one.
This year, Manu used the motivation of an expiring contract to raise his level of play and play with more consistency in the second half of the season. If TP uses the expiring contract as motivation as well, that's a good thing. For the Big 3, the regular season has to be pretty damn boring at this point. Any motivation is welcome.
1) I doubt that Manu just happened to decide not to play for his NT days after signing his extension. So yeah, this isn't exactly uncharted territory.
2) TP says that he's playing in those future years right now ... but in the past he said he was going to play this summer. He's also said he wasn't going to play before and then changed his mind. So I wouldn't take it to heart what he's saying now. There's a whole lot that can happen between now and then.
Yeah exactly. This year we got contract year play f Manu and next year it will be from Tp. I guarantee he will beast. That part is great news. The long term picture becomes a little more bleak. If we get #5 then wgaf. The question is when to extend tp? Do you make him earn it all year? I would be surprised to see sa extend him early.
I'll be back next year for the Euro. I told him that I will play in 2011 and 2012. I also told it to Pop.
This is what french posters have repeated over and over.
Nice to have the confirmation, must be hard for tp haters they are going to be short arguments
he will play the euro and the olympics... I don't know why some posters have still doubts about that
Great news. I think next season we'll see the All NBA Team and Finals MVP Tony Parker
Now I also hope Spurs tell Tiago to not play in the summer. I hope he signs and stay working in San Antonio
Are you sure? It wasn't so easy to be in the playoffs this year and i would say only Phoenix could be worse next year while the Thunders will be a lot better.
Houston (if Ming returns), New Orleans,Memphis (if Gay stays) ....
It will be a big surprise for me if we have an easy regular season.
About the last chance for Tim....Our last chance was 2008.We aren't going to win with the actual big3 anymore.Book it!
Honestly, I wouldn't expect them to extend him until after the trade deadline, unless it's part of a trade. You might as well keep him as an expiring until you no longer need expirings
http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/s...age=2#storytop“I'm happy in San Antonio,” Parker said. “My wife and I are very happy. I built my home base here, so why wouldn't I want to be here?”
So "her" here is reffering to Longoria? I'm afraid that'll strengthen wrong parts of the body.
Sorry, I mistyped. It'sSo "her" here is reffering to Longoria? I'm afraid that'll strengthen wrong parts of the body.
"I will work on my game with Chip and a physical trainer will be there to strengthen my body."
This is great news to me and a class decision by Tony. He will get flak from his national team you can be sure. I know there is all sorts of trade Tony talk but I like his at ude in all this, the guy is strongly saying he wants to stay here and what the more could you ask for? He is easily one of the top 4 PGs in the league (when healthy) and this decision is very good for his relationship with the team. Franky, Im about ready to give the guy what he wants next year (he would surely get it someplace else) and let him retire a Spur with Tim and Manu.
Parker won't play with French NT this summer.
Parker is sure good at communicating. Does he share his wife public relation staff or something. I mean he's pretty good about sharing his thoughts in a frantic way but this...
I mean it's pretty clear since he broke his hand that he wouldn't play this summer for France. Though he did an amazing job at managing his image. Not upseting french making it look like "it's the spurs will and I can't do anything against it", reinforcing his image by saying "I love this team and I'm willing to sacrifice the NT I love so much for you my dear san antonians" while it's only a matter of being wise about his physical condition and having the most chances on his side to be able to negotiate a max contract that he's obviously after.
Not really fond of this BS. I'm glad he won't though. More chances for the spurs next year.
First good news of the off-season. Not a bad start I must say! Thanks for posting this.
+1. This is the exact same thing I was thinking...
Haha Parker will be traded...book it
Its a shame and a shame for french fans, but the most smart decision and best thing to do for the spurs and himself.
Also nice he'll train with Chip.
what a good news！
TP，practicing your shooting and we'll see it next season again
It's true. The Big 3 has little motivation to play in the regular season.
Parker said it himself. He is only motivated to play in the playoffs.
