This is a strategy to motivate kawhi to sign extension.
I respect Tony and think it's a fair deal based on what the scrubs have been getting. proven winner and has been the primary scorer on 1 le team and the Finals MVP of another. Duncan is the one being paid unfairly ...

Why must you tear down the legacy of Tony to prop up Mills or Manu?
I thought amb said that only ty Laker fans do this and not classy Spur fan?
i didnt think he actually needed to use blue font on that one
Parker is the engine of the team and has always been underpaid due to Duncan and Ginobili nabbing big checks. Now that their pay has gone down, it stands to reason that Parker deserve a little extra.
MVParker
I knew he was being sarcastic I was just making fun I didnt think I needed to put a smiley on mine either ...
That was a directed shot ...I even took Amb's name off at first but wanted to make sure everyone knew who I was reaching out to ... Apparently El knew that ...you did not.
this is spurs going into tank mode
duncan is done, ginobili is being held together by his wig glue, parker is aging faster than d.wade, they'll trade kwahi to cavs in two years so next year and the year next they'll get #1 picks and build around lebron
2013 Parker deserves this, 2014 Parker doesn't. Let's see which version we get in 14-15 season.
this is the guy that can't stop playing the injury card when a coach wises up and puts a bigger defender on him. Is that the legacy to tear down?
every time the Spurs win something it's the same ... "oh look, <Claxton/Mills/Beno> overachieved, thank god he bailed out Tony!"...
Where's TDMVPDPOY to break down this contract?
Must you always speak in hyperbole? He wasn't MVParker, but he was anything but "awful."
People forget just how bad defensively he was this year, he was pretty horrible, easily one of the worst defensive PG's in the entire nba. He played solid defense against Lillard though.
By his standards and by the standards of an All-Star player, he was absolutely awful, only a homer would argue otherwise, tbh..
In the playoffs:
- 2nd worst on/off metrics of any Spurs player other than Belinelli(includes both playoff RAPM and adjusted on/off)
- Worst offensive rating of any Spurs player..that's a flawed way to view it, to be fair, so comparing his 103 offensive rating to players on the team with a similar usage rate: Duncan 120, Ginobili 113, Leonard 119, Mills 113
- #7 in PER and worst on the team in WS/48
- Worst shooting efficiency on the team in the playoffs
Really, other than a few good moments, he was virtually non-existent in the playoffs, tbh..

Show Kawhi that the Spurs are committed to winning so that he signs the extension ahead of time perhaps?
LOL @some of you crying about money spent that's not yours.
Good for Tony. And really, anyone that has the ability or leverage to get a team to overpay for them.
do people really not understand why fans care about player salaries in salary cap leagues?
But to be honest it's an okay contract.
I don't even think a 35 year old Parker being a back-up is out of the realms of possibility. Stupid deal especially when compared to Manus ridiculously great deal tbh.
Take spurs fans with a grain of salt.. most of them are very skitso. Did you not witness all the cliff diving last year..before the Spurs made the finals..and then this year.. when everyone thought they missed their last chance for Duncans 5..
He does have age and Minutes played working against him, but let's be realistic. He didn't become the main focus til a few years ago. Up until then, duncan and Ginobilli were still taking plenty of doubles teams for him.
His stats have gone down, but a large part is teams gameplan to stop him. If you take one of the big 3 away, its Tony.
He's still easily a top 5 pg, getting paid like a top 10-15. I think it's a great contract. If Tony were to leave next summer.. when the cap is up again.. and plenty of teams have plenty of cap space.. the Spurs would be left with offering 10M to a aver to below average pg. Coughing up a couple more Million to secure one of the best pgs, and one that has led you to 3 finals.. is not much.
Spurs fans didn't even enjoy 5. They moved on to tanking next year over not getting Gasol before the DVD even dropped. pfft.
He was just really, really bad last year, that's why all his numbers in the playoffs declined dramatically..I don't know why so many Spurs fans can't accept this..even Duncan declined sharply from 2009 to 2012, he just had to re-invent his game to return to an All-Star level..
If last year's Parker is an indication of the future, then he will have to re-invent himself as well, although it'll be more difficult for a PG that can't shoot 3s(shooting 3s is probably one of the steps he will need to take)..
tbh.best PG in the last 10 years finally getting his due
Pretty much, there's nothing wrong with having a down year

Tim had it in 2012, Manu in 2013, Tony in 2014... I expect Tony to bounce back after getting some rest this summer...
Tim's 2012 season was actually a pretty strong one. U might be thinking 2011, the low point of his careerPretty much, there's nothing wrong with having a down year

You're correct. My mistake.
