Spurs won't trade Tony. There's no reason to suggest it. CJ is now a hot commodity, he's not leaving there and not coming here if he did.
It's so frustrated and dissepointed that for the second year in a row the season run out for us like nothing, like we wasting playoff advance and le oportonity so easily, as if we geeting over whelmed come pressure time causing us not to give our best shot at all... Someone need to put his finger on that mental problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the Spurs find a trade partner, I believe they will move him. I certainly hope so. They definitely need a guard that can drive and get to the rim. It's not Tony anymore and it was never Green. Manu was once relentless and awesome at making defenses collapse.
There's no time for sentimentality when it comes to TP and I think the front office knows it.
If the Spurs cannot use TP at the 1, certainly no other team can. Spurs rely less on iso ball than any team in the league, historically, so the fact Tony cannot get to the cup as well these days shouldn't make anyone else think he'd be a good fit on their team, because he's not a good passer either. What Tony has is a very robotic understanding of the Spurs system. That would be the main selling point for moving Tony, but the Spurs won't do it because he's part of the big 3 and they'll let him play out there like Austin Rivers until he retires.
I really don't see any team in the league want to absorb 30 million for a guy who'll be a liability, equally if you do you'll have to take back a contract I'm sure to make the money work.
It's a shame you can't trade a player to a euro league for cap space or some of their talent.
Does the amnesty rule still exist? Can you drop a player like the Mavs did with Michael Finley to clear cap space?
That obviously largely depends on who the 'new players' are.
Let's see what their "giddiness" looks like when the team doesn't sniff a WCF or NBA Finals for the next 10 or 15 years once the "Big 3" is gone. Cause those rebuilds in Utah, New York, Houston, Chicago, Portland, etc. have netted so much championship success.
It took Golden State 40 years to return to the championship stage since the days of Rick Barry and before him, Wilt Chamberlain. The Washington Wizards/Bullets (my local team) haven't found the championship formula since 1978, almost 40 years ago. And this town is bigger, the ownership group has deeper pockets and more players would find it "desirable" than most NBA cities. Yet, here they are with only one NBA championship to their name.
Nothing is guaranteed in sports, so appreciate these all-timers for as long as possible. After they leave the team may never, ever see this level of success- or any - again.

The Spurs have to fill some holes in the roster, also move the ball around, avoid isolation plays vs OKC.
Perhaps Pop just chose to use the wrong bench players. Hard to fault those who did not see many minutes.
Chinook's absolutely right here, from a business and operational standpoint.
SA Girl is just some dude who wants Kyle Anderson to be good because he said he would be good. He's not. SA girl is a ty poster, while Chinook brings good takes to the forum.

Actually, from a business standpoint, I'm not so sure the Spurs would want the big 3 going away, especially Manu, even though he's pretty much done.
Business-wise, it's probably a better deal for the team to ride with the big 3 one more season. It's a bigger gamble once they're gone and there's a degree of uncertainty.
Well we are pretty sure Manu is gone the only reason he came back is because they asked him and they picked up LMA. He gave it a try but he had nothing left in his tank love the guy but it's time to hopefully get into the front office (head of foreign talent evaluation). I really think that if Timmy walks either Parker will ask for a trade and be given one or we just trade him if we can.
Pop will be honest - No Manu you don't have it anymore - Tony - were moving you to second string -Timmy - Front office/coach position/stay as a player? - Timmy can get what ever the he wants!!
off apalisoc you're a got through and through no matter which alt you use. By the way spending time everyday posting with multiple alts on a Spurs fandom site is absolutely pathetic.
What realistically are you going to get for Parker at this point in his career and why would he ask for a trade from the Spurs? I think he wants to retire a Spur. His contract is really high too, who would take that for his production? I am guessing nobody.
Andre Miller was the birth of the current Spurs as know them, in February 2002.
Unless the Spurs throw in a 1st round pick, nobody will want to take on the remaining 30 million on Parkers contract
He was actually great on the offensive end, especially just showing the balls to take and make shots on that end of the floor. I was impressed with his play on the offensive end of the court in the Clippers series last year. He really showed some toughness out there. Great at ude shooting the ball. Not scared at all, which I love (reminded me of Stephen Jackson in that regard). I wanted him gone because of his porous defense though. Not sure if I made a mistake with that after seeing how bad the team was at shooting the ball this season from deep.
I never wanted him gone, a lot of people rode the "he has terrible defense" shtick for awhile but I thought it was definitely worth it. His offensive IQ outweighed his poor defense imo
Total leg and back transplants for Tim and Manu, inject them with some Tiger blood to regain their youth. Win Championship
Tiger isn't doing too well on the golf courses these days. If Tim and Manu have his blood, anything courtside with blonde hair and s will quickly make them lose focus.Total leg and back transplants for Tim and Manu, inject them with some Tiger blood to regain their youth. Win Championship
Then they would be as good as Parker then, and the big 3 could play another few years together!
I agree big changes are coming I think Tim and Manu ride off....
I just hope we don't become the 1990s Spurs...
I think the spurs will start to begin to build around Kwahi and LMA more. Last years team was kind of a mold of the team that teh Spurs had become the past few years. Start to continue to mold the team to the 2 new leaders.
