    "Bowen style" became the style after the Spurs traded him. Dude wasn't planning on retiring until he saw he wasn't wanted anymore.
    Oh, I know, I'm not crazy about how it went down.

    I think so. If we're being frank here, the SL is the best place to hide him defensively, surrounded by Danny and Kawhi...

    Exactly. Why do people want MVPatty to start and thus make our bench weaker?

    TP is fine right where he's at. Give Mills more minutes and have him close out games (like he has been doing this year), but don't start him. Leave him right where he's at.

    Trade away your franchise players once they start declining. You should go work for the Phoenix front office...or maybe Philadelphia.
    He's nowhere near Tim and Manu as far as franchise type of players go in their primes. Those two are franchise icons, yet they may have even let Manu walk if they couldn't afford it the past few seasons.

    he doesn't fit on this team.

    our last hope:
    i'm hoping parker's role will get limited, he begins to feel marginalized... then asks for a trade.

    Hopefully once Green comes back, there will only be one useless player in the starting lineup. Although I shouldn't be bashing Anderson, at least he can play some D against the right players and grab rebounds.

    Parker's minutes are already dwindling in favor of Patty. Patty should absolutely be closing games too.

    Parker won't be benched simply due to loyalty. He'll get the start but hopefully it's a quick subs ution of Patty or Manu into the lineup. Parker should be getting no more than 20 minutes a game.

    Parker needs more rest, should not play more than 15 mins a game

    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.
    Yeah, because Kawhi hasn't gotten any better and we don't have Aldridge, plus a bunch of solid pieces around everyone at the moment.

    Move on, if we rely on Parker to be our top scorer we are ed tbh

    He should retire at the end of the season

    I understood he hasn't retired before because he really wanted to play in the 16' olympics
    But now it's passed and he doesn't the money remaining on his contract

    The only motivation he could have left is adding rings and number of seasons but I don't think it's worth anything when you declined so bad.

    Tecnically, since you think "leading in scoring" is the same as being "the best player" he has taken the back seat earlier than you think, the OKC series before the 2014 championship was won with him as the 4th scoring option.

    Code:

    Also against Miami he was the "best player" always by your own standard because he scored 0.2 points more than Kawhi, yet he did by, playing more minutes than all of our top 3 players (Tim, Kawhi and Manu), shooting worse than all of them.

    Personally i think Tony has not taken a backseat at all after this season, his skills just werenīt there anymore as it was evident during the Olympics and recent FIBA events.
    For whatever reason, Tony has not been able to adjust his skills to the modern NBA (Faster and more mobile bigs that cover guards better, and more reliance on 3īs and long 2īs). Which is strange because his basic skillset should have allowed him to.

    If Tony had become a defensive minded player, able to secure and distribute the ball, and develop a reliable midrange and 3 off the dribble to work with the high screens then he would be very useful. Because letīs say the truth, one of the main "Patty" moves is to wait for the screanner to get an open 3 off the dribble, and that is something Tony SHOULD have been able to master.

    The most important thing that he needs to address is to sincerely get over himself. He has shown poor leadership attributes until now. I mean, it's ing embarrassing for your Coach to have to yell at you to put the ball in another teammate's hands (Kawhi & LMA) when you're supposed to be (along with Manu) one of our veteran leaders

    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?
    99% of PGs lead their teams in assists.

    The question is: how many players in the history of the NBA led a team for 15 years in a row with such low assists per game?

    I've already posted where he was leading the MVP race over Lebron, just giving you more articles. When you still finish at #6 after getting injured for the end of the year, you know you were in contention.

    Lol Manu being more of a Franchise player than Parker. The dude was a bench player who was never even the best player on the team in a playoff run.

    Yeah, because Kawhi hasn't gotten any better and we don't have Aldridge, plus a bunch of solid pieces around everyone at the moment.

    Move on, if we rely on Parker to be our top scorer we are ed tbh
    Kawhi keeps getting better every year and yah we have Aldridge...that just didn't do a whole lot for us in the playoffs last year.

    His a career 6 assist guy... and the past two season hes been a 5 assist guy. Being the leading assist man on the squad for 15 years straight means nothing when you look at his peers in the NBA. The dude didn't even make top 50 in assists last year. He was number 53.

    His a career 6 assist guy... and the past two season hes been a 5 assist guy. Being the leading assist man on the squad for 15 years straight means nothing when you look at his peers in the NBA. The dude didn't even make top 50 in assists last year. He was number 53.
    When you're the leading distributor on the greatest passing team of all time, it says something. Still waiting for someone to post a list of players that did it for a team for 15 years in a row.

    99% of PGs lead their teams in assists.

    The question is: how many players in the history of the NBA led a team for 15 years in a row with such low assists per game?
    Nice try Argie got. These PG's don't
