Tony Parker not playing tomorrow

[JohnnyMax]

[Thunder1]

Hopefully this means Laprovittola will get some meaningful minutes Friday night..

[Kawhitstorm]

Oh, out w/ a sore asshole?

[TheyCallMePro]

Whenever Tony or Aldridge sit out, it's a good thing. Those two are slow and don't move the ball at all. Completely useless. And were paying them 20 million and 15 million a year a piece. It's just absurd.

Parker out is an auto-win at this point. Can't remember the last time we lost with him out. I remember we were down 7 at halftime at OKC in game 6 of the WCF in 2014. And no surprise Parker was playing just horrible. I knew the only way we would win was if Pop "rested" Parker for a potential game 7 at home and played Patty in the second half. He did exactly that, Patty was amazing, and we came back and closed the Thunder out in OT at home.

Make no mistake. Pop does this on purpose. You'll see Aldridge and Parker 'rest' the most throughout the season. Especially after we lose a game or they play poorly. Aldridge will be traded before season's end, guaranteed. And Parker....will just be resting a lot.

Really? You have an amazingly clear crystal ball. Without any precedent in Spurs' history, I do not see that happening - as much as some might like to see it. Eh... No.

Let the professionals do the Parker hate, you are a bit too reckless

Absolutely it will happen when you have Dedmon and Lee playing so much better than Aldridge. And then you hear the murmurs out of Aldridge's camp about not being happy about his role with the team.

And you have Pop leaving in Aldridge longer than every other starter except Kawhi, trying to appease him -- and he's getting tired of it. He just doesn't fit. He's one of the biggest reasons the starting unit struggles to score and move the ball. He's a big, slow, jump-shooting 30 year old big man. He doesn't fit well within the offense, the only way to get him going is to repeatedly feed him shots. It's no good -- I have absolutely no doubt he'll be traded this season.

While some of us weren't elated by the LMA signing, and I personally pretty much agree with your assessment of LMA as a player, it just won't happen. I am not certain your reading of all the smoke signals is that accurate, tbh. How long have you been following the Spurs?

[MaNu4Tres]

So the Spurs will be able to put a better team on the floor tomorrow? I'm good with that.

Speaking of Aldridge. I also think he'll be traded this year. I have my own reasons to believe so. A conversation I had today validated my opinion even more.

And to think in that OKC series we only won 3 other games with Parker in...and it didn't take overtime to do it.

Okay, I'll bite. I can't help myself. A conversation with whom - and a few details?

You spoke with someone at the highly-regarded San Antonio Express News?

Please share... I am reluctant to believe bc it doesn't go with the Spurs past actions.. besides he's far from the worse player in the team, but they could be disappointed. I can see both sides of the conversation on this one.

Example on why I never like to divulge info. Idiots like this guy -- someone who contributes nothing but garbage to the site.

To answer your question, no.

Just let the season play out. Forget what I said.

[rjv]

i guess that explains why murray was recalled from the d-league. we'll see how mills can do.

I'm pretty confident Aldridge is as good as gone but I'm not sure if its this year or the next..I think he finishes the season this year and gets traded before the next season starts.

Only Problem I have is that I can't figure out a trade partner for this season that is at Worst a lateral move..Every Possible scenario I can think of is the spurs getting worse and for a team looking to contend this year, that's a bad thing.

He won't get traded, but only because PATFO can't find a decent move...I'm positive they're trying to get him out of San Antonio.

[apalisoc_9]

If for some reason ATL is at least 95% sure Millsap opts out of his contract, Aldridge extra year should entice Atlanta to make a deal...

It's a good risk. PATFO is probably looking at a big FA next year so if Millsap decides to opt out...That's Jackpot.

I think there's realistic scenarios out there where Spurs can still be just as good this year and set themselves up nicely for the future too. They can't wait til next year though, if they wait til next year, teams will low ball them because he'll essentially be a one year rental before he inevitably opts out for the new max that should be 30+ mil per year.

Lol. here comes the but he was "injured" excuses
