if healthy yes if not NO
Parker at 33 might not be able to get it done especially consistently.thinking CJ can run the offense as a starter - his D is solid, but he's not a better starting PG and facilitator than TP - get real.

I don't understand Parker fans tbh. They're delusional. Stats show that Parker was one of the worst PGs in the NBA last season. Not only that but he hardly ever made the players he was on the floor with better. I don't think they realize how bad Parker was late in the season. People have posted the numbers plenty of times and they all show they same thing. Parker was an absolute cancer. There is no way to deny that. Cojo or Mills would of at least got us past the Clippers. No one is saying they would of carried us but they weren't net negatives like Parker whenever he was on the floor. And if they were it's because the Spurs were already down 10 whenever the backup PG came in.
I think that what he means by pointing out his age. Parker is never healthy nowadays too. I wouldn't count on him to be healthy.
I'm actually really confident this is happening now. A lot of talk from people with connections to the Blazer front office. Does that mean we trade to dump Splitter and any other players we need to dump to clear space in a trade for the 14th pick????
Maybe we can get rid of Tony somehow...
Parker running the offense is dribble dribble 2 man game with duncan.
O this team never got the lead with the first unit when tony came back. For like 20 games he started it felt like. those s that can't comprehend that.
Let's get this straight as I am only going to say this once.....Joseph and Mills are not starting PG material.
They are good back ups designed to play well against other teams in spot minutes or against second unit. Opposing teams game plan their defense to stop Parker they are not concerned with Joseph or Mills which is why they can have limited success.
Now let's return to this threads topic.
You really need to post numbers to backup your claim. There is zero reason to believe Cojo or Mills can't start and win with the Spurs.
I completely agree, but the thing is, Tony Parker at his diminished level this year also hasn't consistently been "starting PG material". I'm not rooting against him or anything, I certainly hope he comes into the next season healthier and fitter. He had a bumpy year.
This thinks teams game plan for tony.
Tony can't make an open jumper or fast break 2 on 1.
Mills is is not a PG... Yet. He needs to work on his passing and ball control but Cory isn't a score first point so what game plan would defenses do? Force the ball out of his hand? Sure that's what he's trying to do. He isn't super fast but he can get to the rim and has a dependable jumper.
The Spurs need to figure out a way to get the ball into Kawhis hands anyway as this will be his team. Same thing if they sign Aldridge he's going to command the ball.
The game plan is sag off 5 feet and let him shoot a contested 18 foot shot. He won't dare attack the paintThis thinks teams game plan for tony.
Tony can't make an open jumper or fast break 2 on 1.
http://www.blazersedge.com/2015/6/25...lazers-leavingA Western Conference executive with knowledge of the Aldridge pursuit has told The Columbian that the free-agent has already informed the Blazers that he will not return to the Northwest.
It's happening.
Just trade Splitter to the Blazers tonight.
I'm honestly fine with however this turns out:
-Spurs get Aldridge - Championship contender next year
-Lakers get Aldridge - Ceiling is a first round exit and propels them further into mediocrity
-Mavs get Aldridge - Ceiling is a 2nd round exit, most likely first as Dirk/Aldridge is just not good enough defensively
how would lma even fit with the mavs? can dirk play center?
Yeah, good point. What are they going to push Dirk to the bench? Or force LMA to play center? Rumor is he hates that.
yup, that's what i heard also.
Hmmm....well, Pop doesn't start Joseph or Mills so that's a pretty good indicator they can't win with Spurs as a starter.
Knowing you and your fanboy group argument that Pop is loyal to Parker, blah, blah, blah. Well, don't forget that Pop benched Manu in favor of a sixth man role, he also traded George Hill (his favorite player), went to a Duncan-centric offense to motion offense, sat Avery Johnson, benched then shipped Antonio Daniels in favor of 19 year old PG.
I believe that a HOF Coach and one of the most successful coaches that spend hours, weeks and months with his players know a little more about basketball than 18 year old fanboys whose only connection to basketball is posting on a basketball forum.
Now step away from the keyboard and let the grown ups discuss basketball.
according to ripcitytwo erik gunderson has sources so this is more than likely true.

post numbers or stfu. idgaf about your opinion. and pop ed up big time benching patty. most here would agree.
Pop didnt coach last year. Dude was happy to lose. You think pop wouldn't haVe benched Tony iF it was 2014? Lpl
Houston getting him wouldn't be good...apparently they're trying to move around some guys so they can make room for him.
Yeah the writing was on the wall yesterday with the Batum thread. Lets get this done RC.
