[ElNono]

Spur fan should be really rooting for Parker to regain a modi of respectability next season and beyond..He's too high in team historically hierarchy to be put in the dog house by Pop assuming he isn't getting traded in near future.. He's no Ginobili, and will probably take a lot more convincing to bench him and significantly reduce his role in the team on permanent basis..

Essentially. Parker is at the point that Duncan reached about the same age when he started to look like he didn't have much left and was close to retirement. Now he's playing until he's 40. I think Parker is too much of a compe or to go out like this and we are going to see a rejuvenated TP next season.

Sign already WEST

Not a well known thing on every message board. I did it here and nobody got it so I quit. Lol

It isn't blue on every message board.

I wish I hadn't read this. I had figure he had already signed.

[Spurtacular]

I dont see his posts anymore I think they erase him.

[Spurtacular]

Mostly common knowledge; but a good read (link)

Let's hope so, a hungry (for basketball) Tony Parker is essential for the championship hopes of this team...

[tatteredprince]

Any updates on D West??

Yup. So many fans forget that Parker hasn't had a proper rest in many years, and played much of last season banged up. He's finally getting some rest this summer. I predict a bounceback next year - he'll play a little less, but his efficiency will return.

While I don't think Parker is finished, my general observation is that bigs can play longer than guards given that they are more dependant on length and not speed. Parker can play better, but I would be shocked to see him as an all NBA canidate. On this team, he doesn't have to be.

Didn't he take last Summer off only to come to camp overweight and out of shape?

Parker game has always been speed based, scoring amongst the big men in the paint.
Duncan's game has rarely been based off of speed or athleticism.
Not a good comparison.

He rested last summer.

Are we sure he hasn't already signed? The Spurs are already selling his jerseys on their shop.

Do you have a link? I just checked on NBAstore.com and there's nothing.

Found it: http://www.spursfanshop.com/catalog/product/148237

It's weird indeed.

They wouldn't sell something on there if it wasn't official, right? Interesting.

[Solid D]

My guess is the delay is due to either a timing and sequence of the contracts that is needed, or there are some details being worked out on the contract T&C.

[Solid D]

Or maybe there is contract glitch with Cavender Cadilac because David couldn't sing as well as previously thought.

[Fireball]

Bruno explained that Boban has to be signed before West and the others (Kawhi, etc.) ... and stop worrying that its not gonna happen. its silly ...

Similar to Manu's '14 is my most optimistic hope. Any ideas/guesses on how he could adjust his game to make up for the inevitable?

Continue working on his shooting and learn to play more off the ball and let Kawhi and LaMarcus handle it more.

It is on every board I have seen that uses a color for sarcasm.
