True, he is not getting traded and people need to accept that.So Patty can start? No thank you.
Who is our PG then?
The Spurs organization is like a desperate girl who tries to do whatever it can to keep its man happy.. It'll screw themselves over to stay loyal and when it's all said and done they'll be left holding the bill at the restaurant, with the 2 year old in hand, maxed out credit cards and 20 dollars to their name washing the dishes dreaming of the one who got away from out of town who would have fixed everything.

patty starting is less detrimental than paying tony $30 million over the next two years.
so you would keep parker and not go after a better pg...
Putting Mike Conley on this team is not winning them the chip guys.. Sorry..
I highly doubt that the amount of money saved by buying Parker out is enough to make up for not having him on the team.
This guy doesn't get it.
This guy gets it.
They are keeping Parker but I sure as want a back up PG on the team, never said I did not. I doubt they trade Tony though so talking about that all the time is moot.I agree in a lot of ways but Tony won't get traded IMHO. I would love Conley or someone to come in or a solid back up as well. I do not want Patty being a starting PG on a team though, that is a horrible option.This is the truth.so you would keep parker and not go after a better pg...
Excellent point. You can't buy him out with millions and then have millions left to bring in some fantasy All Star free agent with a skill set off the chart. And as far as a trade, if he is as bad as you think, what team would give us a great young PG for him?
Whether the Parker haters like it or not, he is going to be a Spur for the foreseeable future 2 years. Get over it.
It's better for Parker to remain on the team so they have someone to unleash their butthurt on. What would they do if Parker actually wasn't on the team? Criticize Pop more?
Actually that's likely the answer.
Have you ever read anything about child abuse where one child is singled out for the abuse and other children escape it? SpursTalk is like that family. There is always one player that is picked out by "fans" as the reason why we don't win a championship every year. Sometimes it is a bench player like Bonner but it is always more excitiing to these fans to gang up on a starter. Don't worry, they will always have a designated scapegoat.
You can call bull all you want but your opinion of Parker's current worth on the court and to the front office - is based on fantasy. Manu has been a much more reliable member of the Big 3 than Parker ever has - and in my opinion, isn't viewed by the organization the same way as Tim and Manu. Those guys are the only 2 untouchables, along with David Robinson, the Spurs have ever had. George Gervin was traded, Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson.
The Spurs were ready to move Parker in 2011 to get Klay Thompson and you think they won't move him after he has lost the two things his game was predicated on - speed and scoring? All this at a cost of 30 million over the next 2 years? Yeah, that's bull . Like I said, if some team out there is willing to take him, the Spurs will move him.
The Spurs showed "loyalty" to Parker by giving him the guaranteed contract. He is going to get that money no matter where he plays. It doesn't mean they won't trade him.

Tony's leadership and championship experience are worth $10M per season minimum. And he helped bring these to town, so respect TP:

This may have been a bit of a legacy (payback) contract. But let's not pretend that Parker wasn't making pretty damn good money all along. The last half of the 4th Q, Pop went with fat and slow Andre Miller cos Parker couldn't get to his spot on offense anyways. Short of a buyout, I think the Spurs seriously still need to explore new options at the starting PG. If we can't get faster, we need to get bigger. TP can have his legacy money if he must. But the team shouldn't be catering to his ego otherwise.
Keep believing whatever want, but him being involved in "trade rumors" - which were clearly a redding herring to throw people off the actual move they wanted (Hill for the 18th pick) - doesn't prove that they will suddenly cut bait with him.
He bas been just as important as Timmy and Manu, especially during the latter half of their time together as Manu and Timmy have declined. Now, Tony is declining and they probably find a way to work around his declining ability. His is still highly efficient, knows the system like the back of his hand and obviously knows he is declining.
If the Spurs trade him, they're not going to get a point guard for him. Basically he only becomes valuable in 0.1% scenarios like getting Dwight Howard or Lebron James.
The Spurs have another point guard on the roster that was drafted in the first round. Nobody wants him to play.
Weapon X is coming!
I try too.. it isn't worth a discussion unless on a "what if" basis.
Who was the starting center for an entire season.
Who is Davis Bertans? I love jeopardy
