He'll continue to "start" but play limited minutes (averaging 20ish mpg this year so far). Party's been closing games too right?

As long we are winning with Plumper starting I don't see Pop benching his fatass.
I mean, Paddy could be an offensive upgrade and Leprosy is too green for starting. Besides Tony would instantly weaken our bench.
So yes, starting MVPlumper is the right move for now. We are 4-0 anyway.

Is Tony really a point guard? A team with smart players dont need a point guard.
Lots of hate for Parker, but he's toned down his game. Pop prefers Patty with the second unit and Parker is still a better ball handler and while he doesn't have the same speed to get to the rim, I think he still puts more pressure on a defense than Patty in terms of penetration. Patty has made strides, but he's not a PG. If Parker is healthy, he will continue to start, but I could see him sitting a lot of games this year as a DNP and I think that little Argentina dude will log lots of starts with Patty sucking up the important minutes.
It doesn't matter how you start the race. It matters how you finish. Pop has clearly shown will be going with Patty down the stretch. At this point, that is all I need to know for this year.
I wouldn't be Surprise if Parker is traded in the offseason to a team trying to meet the Salary Cap minimum for 2017. I can definitely see a team like Philly trading for Parker next year as they will be riddle with young players and no true vets. Supposedly there were talks this summer to trade Parker in the Spurs pursuit of Durant.
It would be great if the Spurs could dump him on draft night for a 2nd round pick from Philly. Being it will probably be a high 2nd, it will give the Spurs some leverage to move 5+ spots up in the 1st round if there is a player they really want. Plus it will free up cap space for the Spurs to pursue another major piece or just resign guys like Dedmon, Simmons, etc back to the roster.
Thing about Manu and Tim, they never experience the drop off Tony has the past two seasons. The only team I can see right now trading for Tony would be Philly mostly because they will need to sign 45mil+ in salary just to meet the league minimum next year and Noels being their only major FA and more than likely will be traded as well with the clog up front.
Wishful thinking at best, but still plausible.

Will continue to start thru season and playoffs.
Durant.
There's a <5% chance that Pop would bench Parker, barring injury, tbh..it's something I accepted years ago..
For the Spurs and their fans, I hope the answer is NO. He's on a steady decline, at this point. Its only going to get worse.
Barring injury, yes. And if Pop makes a move, it won't be 'til the last 10-15 games of the season.
Pop is already keeping Tony on the bench to close out some gam. Tony is averaging less than 25 mpg, so even pop can see what everyone else does.
Hahahahahaha these guys and their use of advanced stats. Cracks me up every time.
Hahaha what?! He's led this team in assists for 15 years in a row! "Never was an assist guy"?! Hahaha how many players have done that in the history of the NBA?
To be statistically accurate, the Spurs won't get far in the playoffs if Parker doesn't lead them in scoring. Ever since he took a back seat in 2015, Spurs haven't made a deep playoff run.
Parker will never get traded, unless it is Bruce Bowen style where he plans on announcing his retirement immediately after.
If Parker is still a starter for the Spurs by season's end they'll be in serious trouble. Spurs absolutely need to minimize the amount of minutes dead weight players are getting (Parker, Kyle) to make a serious run this year.
Man it takes a lot of digging on ST these days to find a reasonable post or anything that in any way resembles the wisdom of the front office. If we had a ST front office, we'd be the Clippers. Meaning we would favor stat-padding advanced statistic 'gods' like Chris Paul over PGs that can adjust and continue winning at every stage of their career.
Trade away your franchise players once they start declining. You should go work for the Phoenix front office...or maybe Philadelphia.
I believe there is a song about that.
If Pop has any ing brains, he won't. but somehow I have the feeling his role/position in the SL and minutes won't change
"Bowen style" became the style after the Spurs traded him. Dude wasn't planning on retiring until he saw he wasn't wanted anymore.
Where tf did this dude's jumper go? It left him with his legs. Why? Manu and Tim improved their J's after they lost a step or two ..or three. I just can't figure out why he's broke af now
