The are you trying to say? You know what? I don't care. you, parker, and pop for his loyalty to parker last season.

So again, if you and your krew were rational you should post much more hating posts towards pop than parker...

No, I want better hating posting against pop, with effort and creativity like you and your krew doing with Parker, name calling, game planning, etc...
What don't you understand? If parker continues his decline and refuses to take a reduced role then he's an asshole and deserves to called out on it. Same for pop; if he sees that parker sucks now but refuses to bench him then he's an asshole. Stop being a player fan and be a team fan, asshole.
Source for Parker refusing taking a reduced role??? You saying Parker playing not like the role Pop asking him to play???
You ask question don't understand?
Source?

Kawhi storm, who's going to fill his shoes?
No need to fill his shoes. Just minimize his role & run the offense through Kawhi/LMA. Since Kawhi is going to be handling the ball Pop can play Patty alongside him a lot more than previous seasons. Just look at how the Bulls were running their offense through Butler/Pau when Rose was re-acclimating himself back into the team. Porker just needs to be an average starting point guard at best & a net neutral at worst.
Minimize his role? That's too broad a statement to have any real meaning. Tony isn't a good passer. He doesn't have great court vision, not even good actually. How do you minimize his role? He cannot get to the rim, can't shake a defender, can't set a pick, can't do much if he cannot cut and drive.
Explain his diminished role. Leonard can't handle the ball. His handles are shaky, certainly not PGsih.
Jimmy Butler & Paul George had shaky handles before their breakout seasons. Nobody is asking Kawhi to bring the ball up (that would be Porker's job) but rather initiate PnR w/ LMA. Parker can't no longer hit a mid-range shot consistently nor drive by defenders so he's useless on the PnR b/c team will just sag off him. The Kawhi/LMA PnR should be the major focal point of the offense & Parker can move without the ball (one thing he still good at) to keep the defense honest ala Tony Allen. If they are going to dare him to shoot like Tony Allen then I'm pretty sure he can hit set-shots well enough to make team pay ala Kidd otherwise he can get a couple of layups by cutting.
Tony can still direct the motion offense & call the sets but he should no longer be initiating the PnRs; basically he should just be a game manager rather than a playmaker. This should also save his hamstrings & keep him fresh for the playoffs.
"When spotting up an opponent, Leonard scored 1.08 points per possession with a 54.5 effective field goal percentage and excelled when used in the pick and roll, where he averaged 1.005 points per play."

Anyone can start the PnR. Kawhi needs to force defenders to stop him one on one and get to the rim else Tony dumping off to him does nothing but get the ball out of Tony's hand.
The Spurs run best when the point is a threat to score. It forces the defense to extend out to the 3pt line which frees up the middle for other things like backdoors and backscreens and such. If Tony doesn't push the offense, he's useless. Might as well have a rookie out there.
I think we have see that Tony can't beat defender consistently & get into the paint since his jumper is broke. He has basically become Rondo status at this point so since Pop isn't going to bench him might as well get the ball out of his hands. Kawhi is the best PnR option tandem for LMA since Manu is no longer dependable. Kawhi is already an above average passer off the PnR & has a lethal pull-up, he also has a decent straight line drive but he just needs to keep working on his euro step & change of direction. Once he learns how to draw fouls he is going to be averaging 20 points in his sleep whether or not he has a high dribble (so does Melo). He'll eventually get comfortable handling double teams w/ time & might turn out into a less selfish version of Melo.
Not true anymore.
The spurs were deadly with a 2013 Parker..
No one in Euroball respected Parker's PnR neither did LA.
Let's trade his ass for Bradley Beal.
