There isn't a niche for slow pg with terrible defense. If his speed doesn't increase as he recovers then he is done.

Some of the guys in the OP did drop off a cliff pretty fast if you look at the links
Between seasons.
Apol dropping nukes.
Applesauce assumes way too much about Kawhi's feelings.
Parker should not be traded. but to say he has not declined is just plain blindness.
Love Parker, wish he gets well soon, Spurs need him in shape.
Like maybe hitting the corner 3 last night to win the game?
I used to think that big-market NBA fans who think a burg like SA doesn't deserve all that success were A-holes.
Spurs fans aren't stupid, spoiled, undeserving and myopic I argued.
Then I read a silly, petulant rant like this about a player like Parker. . .
It's only gonna get worse once Tim and Manu hang them up, tbh... Spursfan is extremely spoiled.
And about finding a new niche, no, it's not the corner 3, obviously. That's a great weapon, but you can't have a high usage player like Tony restricted to that. I think the Spurs will have to work on ways to clear a path to the basket for him. Be it curls, handoffs, etc, let him get into the paint again, he's always been a good finisher, be it the floater or right at the rim. Right now his main struggle is that he can't run past most opponents. But there are ways to mask that, and I'm sure Pop will find a way.
It's easier for a smart player to adapt than a dumb player. TP will work it out.
And I still think he's pacing himself (maybe on Pop's orders).
Wait till money time in the postseason. He'll be flying to the rack just like days of old.
I always hope for the best

He got old between Now and December the 5th? Oh and December the 22nd when he put 26 on the Clippers?
Right.
Obese people should not be allowed to have an opinion on spurs related matter tbh....
Agreed. Parker is one the greatest. Or should we say "is" or "was?" It's looking more and more like Parker's greatness is behind him. I just hope the team can overcome his loss of skill for another le run, but I'm not seeing how we can replace his speed and penetration, which was so important to our offense.Also it was hard finding guys in Parker's class to compare him to he really is one of the greatest PGs in history.
This.
Too bad he didn't talk in one of the existing topics, he sounds he has a lot of good points to discuss.
He's still better than Rose.
In all sports, Father time attacks the legs first. We all know Tony suffered a hamstring pull early this year--but not how severe it was. I played almost a full season in football after a hamstring injury back in the day and was never quite as fast that season and the twinge was there all the time to remind me whenever I played too hard. And anyone who played amateur sports of whatever kind after school days and into their manhood will remember that day when you realized the legs were gone. You could still play a little, maybe in a league for old guys, but the days of taking on the young whippersnappers were done.
The greatest NBA guards have always played a year or two beyond their peaks. It happens in virtually every sport as the coaches and FOs want to suck the last juice out of the cup and the players refuse to quit because of pride and finances. Look at Brett Favre.
I think it is more noticeable in basketball because the guards are involved in every play by the nature of the sport whereas in football and baseball the decline in physical ability can be hidden because the key players aren't necessarily quite as visible all the game. I think Manu can play longer because his game has always been based more on craftiness that sheer speed. Tony, not so much.
We don't know--and maybe the coaches and Tony don't know--if he has passed over the top of the hill and into the inevitable and irreversible decline. But I think it is ty for some ST posters to call him names and denigrate him after all he has done for the team. That's simply not classy.
