I love TP but he must go or retire.......

[$pursDynasty]

The anger is nothing more than part time basketball fans desperately seeking approval from anyone on the internet.

See how many awesome ideas and invaluable posts are taking place in this thread? Yeah neither do I. Not one meaningful post or reasonable suggestion here.

I for one would love to see the PG spot addressed but at this point there's little out there that would make sense...and not just for the Spurs but for any potential trade partner. There isn't an ounce of intelligence in threads like this. Its the same old desperate attention seekers hoping others will validate their worthless opinions.

Damn a truth nuke during the offseason.

I just broke the bad news to Tony at lunch. He grabbed his nuts and said something in French. I think it meant that he has no plans to retire or go elsewhere.

bring in another PG and bench Tony. Limit his minutes...he can't be the turnover machine on the bench.

I think Westbrook for Parker and a pick makes a lot of sense for both teams. OKC gets a proven vet PG with more years left on his contract. Spurs take a chance on a 1 year ride with Westbrook.

As long as we are playing fantasy games, you bring in the Clips and make it a 3-team trade. Clips get Westbrook and we get CP3, while OKC gets TP and the pick.

You are thinking of Manu. Parker is decent with the ball. It's why he's probably going to be the starting pg all year and likely next year.

Bingo. I've determined the optimal ratio for Tony to have the ball is 22/24.

Yep. I think Paul fits the Spurs better.

Plus he would re-up. Westbrook is off to LA as soon as he can get there anyway. Let's just facilitate it a year early!

that would make my projected starting 5 for 2017-2018 look like...

PG - Paul
SG - Jimmy Butler (acquired through trade Green, Bonner, pick)
SF - Leonard
PF - Aldridge
C - Gasol

Nope, I'm thinking of Mr. Eva Longoria.

I see the anger towards TP predominantly here on ST, so maybe my opinion has been warped by that.

But I'd be interested to know how the feeling towards TP is at ground zero - San Antonio?
For you locals, can ya'll clue us in on how faithful the local fan base is towards Parker...like is it at the level of a Manu/DRob/Elliott?

If that is the case, then I can certainly understand ownership not willing to take the bad press to make a 'basketball' decision.

The level of love for TP is not at Duncan level because he hasn't been here as long or meant near as much to the franchise, so that makes sense obviously. And it's not at Manu level because of the Latino population. But it's nothing like it is here on Spurstalk obviously. The fans in SA who have been following the Spurs for 20+ years know he is light years better than any other PG we've ever had. I started going to games a few years before we drafted DRob...most fans that have been watching for that long or longer know how valuable Parker has been and still is.

He should at least retire the 1-4 rub, high ball screen, rescreen, rescreen, penetrate baseline, back out to the top, ball screen wing jumper as shot clock hits 0.

Ease up player...

Tp by far is the best point guard ever to play for the spurs

what does that have to do with the 2016-17 season? Derrick Rose by far is the best pg to ever play for the Bulls. your point?
