Parker had a dreadful series, but I have zero faith that Manu can remain healthy anymore. And his mental game is slipping badly as his body wears out. Larry Bird he ain't.
Trade Parker, I think not.
I just feel like with parker, we're gonna be a perenial 8 seed/barely in the playoffs team, and what's the point really? I'd rather use parker to completely start rebuilding, as sad as it is since he has done so much for us. It all depends on the offseason really, and there's still the lockout. Without some major trades, I feel like we just can't win a 'chip anymore.
I'd much rather go OKC style and pick up some sick young pieces (we're not stumbling on a KD, but you know what I mean) and try to be contenders in 3 - 4 years instead of another couple years of meritocracy.

If they deal any of the big 3, especially Duncan or Manu, I'll be completely disgusted.
next year is not the year to rebuild. remember it's a league transition year, like '99
Timmy is fine, especially if he gets some sort of help next year from Splitter and Blair.It was a fun run while it lasted gentleman. 4 les, can't really ask for much more. This season was all fool's gold, and a lot of us could tell by the way we were winning games, living on the three, no front court presence, etc....
It's time to rebuild. Tim showed this series that he's absolutely done. -10% left in the tank. Trade parker for picks and young talent, keep Manu as your center piece. Develop Hill, Splitter, Neal, I don't care what you do with Blair.
God Bless fans, and good night on this season
Let Tony go, and also RJ.
the core is done. tbh, it was done last year when they got swept by the suns. can't cross your fingers and close your eyes wishing this isn't the truth. spurs should start unloading the heavy contracts which includes gino and parker's. spurs have some pretty bad contracts in jefferson and bonner but start tanking and try to trade for some good players.
trade duncan and manu hill for 2 young studs
jefferson as a second option might want to score
It's up to Tim, we obviously aren't going to be in contention without trading someone. No wiggle room under the cap. One or more of the big 3 has to go if this team is going to even be compe ive in the next 5 years. If Tim wants to stay and is fine with this being the new reality that's his choice. As a fan of the organization it's time to blow it up and rebuild through the draft, as a fan of the big 3 I saw keep them all. I can't imagine seeing Manu, Tim or Tony in another jersey but it's time to go another route
I'm not a fan boy of either. The Spurs are stuck between a rock and a hard place...mostly by their own creation with the bad deal given to RJ. Now that they are no longer contenders, they have to make some tough decisions about the future. Manu is too old and injury prone to bring value. RJ is RJ and won't bring any value. Even if you sweeten the RJ deal with one of the Spurs good role players it won't bring a whole lot back.Manu's fan-boys wanting to trade Parker, what a new concept...
The only valuable piece they have from an appeal standpoint is Parker. If they are going into full rebuild...which they should...they should be willing to listen to what teams have to offer for him and jump on the deal that helps them jumpstart the future the most.
Can someone ban this ing stupid mother er for a week at least?
We were a healthy Ginobili (elbow) and healthy Duncan (ankle) away from winning the series. Unfortunately it seems to come down to health every year with these guys. I think we have a decent shot next year with this core. Splitter has one year under his belt though he could have played a lot more. Priority is to retain Gary Neal and find another big man through free agency. We can draft a big but I doubt we'll find someone at #29 overall that can contribute right away.
Trade Duncan? No.
He is getting older but his job on Spurs defence and offence getting bigger. That's the problem.
Trade Parker for a big athlete man who can help Duncan inside and save his energy. So TD can give us 20-25 min efficiently.
Trade Jefferson and Bonner too. But nobody cares of Jefferson with his huge contract.
I truly do believe that Parker has the talent to be that franchise player, just not so sure about his focus all the time.
Larry Holmes forced Muhammad Ali out by dominating him. Who is remembered now?
Tim, much as I love the guy, looks like he has nothing left. Pop has lost whatever coaching skill he had. RC is not the great GM Spurs fan thought him to be. Time to wipe the slate clean from the top down.
You should know better. Parker is obviously the biggest piece the Spurs have to trade.Manu's fan-boys wanting to trade Parker, what a new concept...
this this this
I'm not against trading Parker to quicken the rebuilding process but trading Parker and letting Duncan retire to build a team around a 34 years old Manu is insane.
Just from a fan standpoint: I NEVER WANT TO SEE ANY OFF THE BIG THREE GET TRADED. Thick and thin.
Spurs need to find out if Splitter is a legit NBA big man. He needs to spend all kind of time with Chip this summer. You'd have to have some faith that Splitter can be a starter based on all of the succes he had in Europe.
The Spurs need a 2 and the Spurs need a 3.
That's just the starting lineup.
The only reserve that got any regular playing time that I want back is Neal.
I dont want to see Bonner back, he is a nice role player, but he needs to be the Novak type player on a good team. Bonner isnt good enough defensively.
I'm intrigued by what this Butler kid they signed can do. He was money in college, if he is over his knee injury, the Spurs got one of their components taken care of.
George Hill is mentally weak. But he has some trade value. Spurs need to use it and maybe they can get someone to take 's contract with him. He offers nothing to this team. At all.
McDyess needs to retire. He is a great veteran, but he simply doesnt have it night in and night out anymore, but I wouldnt be upset if he came back over a Bonner in a reserve Kevin Willis type role.
Manu needs to be a reserve. His days of being a consistent starter are done. But Manu is the heart and soul of this franchise, so I really cant see them moving him along, unless they plan on going full out rebuild this next year. In that case, move everyone and start over.
Stop putting words in my mouth, just because I have a manu avatar I'm a manu fanboy? Parker is obviously our biggest trade chip, if we're gonna rebuild, letting go of him is where we start. We're not gonna get as much for old Manu.Manu's fan-boys wanting to trade Parker, what a new concept...
manu to denver
karl loves him for jr smith (someone who is not afraid to shoot) and one of their young pieces they got for melo
when the was manu healthy the enitire playoffs
We also need a big ass tatooed mother er who won't take bull from anyone. Someone who will just tear the house down. Grizzlies had at ude. We had next to none.
03 05 07? I wont pretend to remember if he was 100% healthy but I don't remember him missing any games.
Oh I don't think anyone wants to build around Manu and if they do they're re ed. Manu needs to retire too, but Manu I could see going to another team. Tim Duncan, not so much.
