Tony Parker: "I feel like I can still play for a long time"

[SASdynasty!]

If the spurs sign him to another 4 year deal after the next 2 seasons, Leonard needs to demand a ing trade because I don't know anyone in their right mind who would keep flushing money down the toilet in a player that offers nothing

Actually Kawhi should try to lead the Spurs in scoring once in a playoff series beyond the first round. Once he does that, maybe he can start demanding trades.

[SASdynasty!]

Do idiots realize that Parker has been paid below market value throughout his entire career? He will likely want to stay in San Antonio beyond his current contract, but I'm sure it will be at a drastically reduced rate if at all.


But, no please continue to push your stupid, half-assed agenda that Parker and Popovich are colluding against Kawhi, the fanbase and organization at large. Too many stupid idiots in this fanbase, man......

Just like Robinson, Ginobili and Duncan if the greatest PG in franchise history wants to retire a Spur and play until his late 30's that's okay. He helped bring 4 NBA les and unprecedented success to this franchise, so he is deserving of that level of respect. I'm almost certain he won't be manning the ship beyond the upcoming season.

When his contract is up he'll probably get a 2yr/14M extension like Manure did, which is a bargain in today's cap.

I don't mind Parker having stuffed deep on the bench playing for the vet min.

[FkLA]

Needs to be evaluated for dementia. He probably also thinks it's still his team..

See my sig.

[BillMc]

If true, Tony will probably outlast Pop. Whoever is Pop's replacement may have to make "the hard call" on Tony's career. Still, if he continues to grow his jumper, he can be a serviceable NBA player for a few years. I'm rooting for him.

The future TP will be asked to provide bursts of offense from the bench. When this happens Mills will most likely be gone, Manu and Tim will be retired, and someone not even on our radar will be the starting PG.

[Brian Windhorst]

Makes my blood boil every time I hear this . Just take your money and shut the up about it. He had like a dozen good games last year.

[Kikoluna]

Oh God no. I mean , as the backup maaaaybeeee, and even that is put of loyalty

[UZER]

Aaaaaaand after reading that tweet, Durant has chosen to stay with OKC.

[Duncan2177]

[Beaverfuzz]

Lose the spare tire Tony. You're not an elite NBA PG anymore. Know your role and shut your mouth.

[DPG21920]

He didn't say he could be a starter for 4-5 more years. He might turn into a solid bench pg which is great.

At a cheaper rate, bench role? Sounds reasonable.

[RD2191]

Fat needs to ride pine this season. Maybe trade his ass. er is the next bonner.

This. I think there are a lot of international and bandwagon fans who have no clue what TP did in the 2000's. Dude was a Finals MVP. People get old, players age, and the amount of disrespect is astounding.

[pgardn]

Off the bench and that's fine.

[tmtcsc]

He's delusional. Have fun in the Olympics Tony.

^ Same guy that's glad Manure is back after one of the worst playoff performances of all time

Manu s are insufferable.

[cd98]

People here are overly critical of Parker. Regardless of his slippage he's still a starting NBA point guard, he's just not a superstar. He's still a high level ball handler and decent shooter and finisher. He was an elite finisher a few years back, but now he's merely good. But people here forget that players give aging superstars high credit. Sure Manu and Duncan are s s of what they used to be, but players still respect them and consider them big assets to a team.

[cd98]

People thinking Durant won't come to the Spurs if Parker is there are delusional. Do they think he wants to play on a team with Patty Mills as the starting point guard? Patty is worthless if he isn't making shots. It's Tony that the Spurs look to when their offense gets stagnate. He's better at handling the ball and getting it to the real scorers.
