Eva: Tony Parker wants to play in Big Apple

**5in10** · 08-16-2010

Gallanari/Randolph and filler for Parker If e decides not to sign an extension.

**Josepatches_** · 08-16-2010

When Parker injured his hand last year the Hill/Ginobili led spurs went 11-5 with the most impressive victories of the season over the cavs, celts, lakers, rockets, & magic.

Why is that?

That's true.
The Spurs played pretty good without Parker.That's true.

They are better with him.That's true too.

But the question is to trade him or to let him sign elsewhere. We'll wait to February.Then we'll see we aren't a tle contender and we'll trade him.

The Spurs can beat the lakers with a bit more size now. The heat have no post player and the starting 5 are not good 3 pt shooters, not good defenders and all dominate the ball. Not sure they will get past Bost.

Spurs have talent, they need to make a few changes and making them now may bring us back much needed help.

The lakers are aging, Kobe, Fish, Artest are all slowing down....Bynum cant stay healthy.....and at some point all those extra games are gonna take a toll.

If we are gonna lose TP, Let see what hes worth. Im sure the spurs are shopping him with all the noise him and his big mouth wife are making.

The Lakers struggled to beat an old, undermanned Bos team last year with home court. Yet you think the spurs having added Splitter and Anderson are still far behind.

Please dont post while your drunk.

I can bet with you Spurs won't win the championship this coming year.. with or without Tony.

It's true that Kobe is not what he used to be some 3-4 years back. But I think Manu and Duncan will be worse off this coming year. Splitter is too new to fit into the Spurs system right now. RJ is a no-brainer bad fit.

You know to win a championship for Spurs, so many things must go right. Basically, all 3 of them must be at the top of their game.

I don't even think Spurs can beat the Celtics last year with the new additions.

Sorry, but with our coach, and our roster as it stands, if you are willing to bet on the Spurs losing, then you need to check your fan card at the door.

They might not win it all, but if your more willing to bet against them than on them, then why do you even watch the games? Just morbid curiosity?

He's got a similar contract to Tony, but with I think another year on it...which is good.

He's a bigger bulkier PG that can drain the 3's and can dish out assists with the best of them. His bulk will help shut down some of the bigger PGs on D.

The problem is he's been with an up until this point poorly run Clippers team with an owner that has questionable commitment to championships.

Under Don Nelson, he flourished.

Pop would definitely check his shot selection, so that would not be an issue...especially since the Spurs Offense would be a more inside out dynamic.

Davis will have more open 3pt shots and his % will return to high levels.

If the Clippers were willing?

It's a no brainer as far as I'm concerned...but are they willing?

Baron Davis is a fat, slow, selfish chucker without a shred of teamwork in his makeup. He's also a pretty bad 3 point shooter, barely better than Parker, in spite of the fact that he lifts them at a rate as if his life depended on getting as many up as possible. He's also essentially playing on one knee.

Check this article out...I find it funny that it is on a project Spurs website...

http://projectspurs.com/2010-article...motivated.html

Bottomline, lets see how anyone would play on the Clippers team of the past couple seasons...Dunleavy had one foot out the door the entire time...and you can't build a team up like that.

Davis just needs motivation and he'll be a top 5 PG in this league, this year.

I really believe this.

What better motivation than to join a San Antonio Spurs organization with all the coaching and players to get the job done in place. He just has to be the cherry on top, not carry the team.

**mountainballer** · 08-17-2010

there is one question that all here constantly ignore:
do the Knicks want Tony?
IMO Tony is their plan B at best.
after having lost the Lebron sweepstake plan A is obviously to bring home Carmelo and it seems as if their will be a good chance to get this done. Melo didn't sign an extension and reports say he's already on his way out.
Knicks could somehow clear cap space for one max player. (this will be hard to do anyhow and will force them to sacrifice some talents).
this max player will be Melo and not Tony.
(they can dream about a trio of Melo, Amare and Tony as much as they want. it won't happen unless they can pull some miraculous moves combined with S&Ts. or Tony signs for the MLE next summer)

if Melo leaves, Nuggets are done and can start the rebuilding. Billups will be 35 next summer and I don't think they use their TO for 14 million for him.
Nene can opt out as well and might decide to leave if Melo is gone.

bottom line: nothing will happen with the Knicks until the Melo scenario is dead or finally materialized. (don't be surprised if the Nuggets trade Melo for some package like Randolph, Williams and Curry)

LMAO

Get it done Pop!

when is a report going to be legit enough for you guys? every single one of the numerous reports is always dismissed as false and irrelevant, or as misinterpreted. wake up seriously...i mean im not saying trade him away for a bag of peanuts but the spurs need to start seriously shopping him and seing whats out there if they havent already been doing that.

He's a speed point guard that is at his peak...and Pop saw for himself that the Spurs gelled without him at the end of last year and therefore brought him off the bench!

What more proof does anyone need?

He is on the way out.

Better to trade him now and get a darn good player in return to help the Spurs win a Championship this year.

Thank God you're not part of the FO, because we'd be left with nothing next summer.

Parker wants to go, let's face it. Even he was quoted as saying he'd like to try out a new cycle next season with a new team and that this season is the last realistic year the Spurs could win a le. How much more out of Parker's mouth do you want? He's given all the hints, too bad some idiots don't want to understand it yet.

He is the only young guy of the big 3. He knows that in the next 3 years Manu and TD are going to retire and i'm not sure if he wants to stay in the rebuilding process.

Parker is gone to NY if they have the cap space for him. It won't even be close.
