parker isn't my guy.
i guess parker's your guy so feel free to pay him $14,000,000 to get you 6 points and 3 assists.
Only player worse on the roster is Fathead.

Of course not, that would require facts. It works better to just say, "Hey guise! Porker droppded off in 2014 big time! I promise!"I'm not here to argue with porker slurpers.
At least you acknowledged you are a porker slurper. Good job.
There isn't an argument. Some people think Parker is needs to leave this year, others would prefer he stay pending a replacement. Gambit is neither, just a who likes to complain about a player whom geehe has no control over.I'm not here to argue with porker slurpers.
Well of course when you consider that Parker's never been (and never will be) paid a top-30 salary in the league, you realize you've done pretty well, considering Parker has been a top-5 player multiple seasons.
Definitely a fan of TP and the rest of the team. Must suck to hate the players on your "team."At least you acknowledged you are a porker slurper. Good job.
Ok, I guess you don't have to pay him. We were gonna bill you for a fractional share (1/100) but you're right, you should only patty the salaries you like not the ones you are contractually obligated. Like my apartment is hot this month, so I'm going to ask the lessor to rebate my rent.
Gambit is just getting at and having his last word. Like he should. He is also doing a service for a lot of posters that have the same view and agree with him.
Or better yet, since Parker was only making $1.5 million in 2005 after helping the Spurs win 2 championships (top 3 scorer, assist leader) and since we were pretty sure he was going to win FMVP in 2007, let's retroactively increase his pay. Maybe we can go back in time and pay him the $10-15 million he was worth back then. Then we could predict his 2015 decline (and injuries), and adjust his paycheck beforehand (again, with a time machine).
At the end of the day the likely contenders for next year (other than us) are: LAC, OKC, CLE, GSW just as they were this year. Those teams trot out the following PGs on a nightly:
Russell Westbrook (a walking triple double)
Chris Paul (near perfect PG)
Kyrie Irving (when "on" is literally un-guardable)
Steph Curry (nothing needs to be said)
We are trotting out an over the hill PG that can no longer beat his man off the dribble and honestly Parker can barely get clear even with a pick set. None of the PGs in todays league have to break much of a sweat guarding Parker and they damn sure don't have to break a sweat scoring on him. Facing these teams, we lose the PG battle by a catastrophic LANDSLIDE straight out of the gate...on both ends. How can ANYONE picture us winning a championship next year with a PG that the best you can hope for is that he's NOT A LIABILITY...the with actually being a plus?? That's insane. The best Parker can do is be demoted to the bench (he's not getting traded). At that point, we have one of the best backups in the league that has a better chance at winning his match-up. The issue of course is then, who starts?
Well, the problem is he goes the wrong direction on most of those screens because he's looking for a jump shot and not looking to drive and kick. He gets caught in no mans land when they switch and the defender basically sags off allowing him to take a bad shot so he tries to pass and its a turnover. Almost everyone goes under those screens too, they're not afraid of his shooting
I really don't think any posters hate Parker or dispute that he can still play in the NBA. But to even most casual fans, paying him that kind of money for that long was ridiculous and it was pretty easy to predict the effect it was going to have on the team's ability to bring in players.
At this point, it is what it is. I hope they can trade him. If not, I hope they can bring in a starting point guard and let Tony come off the bench.
As keeferob said, all of the real contenders have great point guards and Parker will get exposed against any of them in a playoff series. Not that Conley is on the level of all of those guys but he'd be a significant improvement over Parker.
Spot on!
This is what leads to him wasting so much time on the shot clock. As you said, he goes around the wrong side of the pick, then has to back out. Then he usually takes a dribble or two to try to penetrate, then backs out and does it again. Then finally passes to Leonard with about 4 or 5 seconds left. Forcing Leonard into an immediate decision to either drive or take a fall away jumper.
Totally agreed. Many simply associate being critical with being negative or "hating". It CAN be but it can also be honesty. And Parker is just not a starter on a championship squad in TODAY'S NBA. Conley would be a massive upgrade even if he's definitely not in their category simply because he can penetrate, finish with both hands on both sides and he's a capable shooter. Those WERE things Parker did well for us for a long time but its just not the case anymore. The bench is what's best for him at this point.
wtf? i made a thread in january saying i wanted to trade him. you don't remember? i owned you in that thread too.
are you for real? i'm not saying the spurs should magically reduce his salary to a rate he deserves. i want him traded, he still get paid dumbass.
retire from international play without an olympic or fiba world cup medal.
FMVP & Eurobasket gold more than makes up for it.
finals mvp has nothing to with international play
winning it against boobie gibson
winning against:"more than makes up for" not winning a medal in worldwide compe ion
france winning a bronze in worldwide compe ion with parker doesn't play
Parker and Dirk are the only international players to win FMVP. The NBA is far and away the best worldwide stage for basketball. The olympics are great, except the best players don't even play most of the time. Serbia won silver for crying out loud. And FIBA is even worse for top players not even playing. FMVP is the highest individual basketball honor that exists, and Parker and Dirk won it by outplaying a guy who will go down as a top-3 player of all time.
the 2007 cavs roster was a ing joke.
trying to lump parker playing against boobie gibson with dirk's legendary playoff run. parker has never carried the spurs the way dirk carried the mavs the postseason he won.
That 2007 Cavs squad wrecked the Billups/Rip/Wallace/Tayshaun/Webber/McDyess Pistons, a team that swept the Howard/Turkgolu/Hill Magic. They also beat the Kidd/Carter/Jefferson Nets that run.

They weren't garbage at all and it would have been a good series if Parker didn't elevate him game into another stratosphere because the fact was that Duncan and Ginobili had below-average series.
The only reason you say that team was garbage is because they got swept. They were better than the '03 Nets but nobody thinks that because the Nets took 2 games that series.
