Yep. The Parker ship has sailed. He is ours until the end now.
The scenario I presented doesn't involve moving Porker but rather Patty/Softridge. I'm not even sure anybody would touch him unless they dump his salary on the Sixers/Kings or maybe exchange him for Rubio since the Wolves need some "guidance".Man, a lot of you s need to accept that Parker isn't going anywhere, tbh..all this hoping and praying for a trade or Pop benching him is pointless, it's never going to happen..I accepted it a long time ago, acceptance makes it much easier to follow the team, tbh..
The best you can do is cherish the "resting" games..

I think you're being sarcastic?
But I think they had at least 2 different times they could have traded him for good value. After he had slowed down but was still putting up good numbers. Instead, they gave him 15 per and are now suffering the consequences.
Yeah, I don't have any problem with Parker playing if he's right, but he's clearly not.
There's no trade possible now that he can't be masked by anybody, November Parker is gone, and he has bad knees... It doesn't even feel right to say much about him if his career is this finished TBH... almost tragic bc he was once unstoppable.... Anyways, Harlem convinced me it has to be accepted and hope for some damage control. Pop now has to realize the situation...
The mysterious knee pain that has taken him out if two games might be a blessing in disguise.
It could worsen, and they could sit him out an extended period like Duncan last year.
If that happens, maybe he even has to elect for a surgery, even better for the team.
Hey, it could happen!
Maybe I've gone from Acceptance right back to Bargaining.
shame on Spurs fans.....heartless
hold up, you suggested trading Mills/Aldridge and keeping Parker? Are you on drugs?
With no replacement/trade, the Spurs will be worse without TP over the long haul. If Patty moves into the SL that is not a guarantee he does better over a longer period, but should be ok. But that is not a given and he's never proven he could be a starting level PG.
Even if he does though, the bench will be worse. Maybe not to the point where they are a bad bench, but overall, the likely outcome without TP is a worse team.
Pop isn't trading Porker after giving Manu a 15mill retirement bonus.
Hopefully, he's forced to retire like Tim.

Also then they could fast track Murray and at least get him out on the floor some.
Exactly, declining, damaged goods isn't getting you . Especially when you factor in that Parker plays the deepest position in the NBA.
He is worse than every starting PG in the NBA, so why would anyone be stupid enough to trade for him?
Without a healthy and productive (10 - 12 PPG & 5 - 7 APG) TP the team is likely worse off, but he seems to be neither "healthy" nor very productive currently.
Hey at least Parker gets injuries that have been heard of by the medical community unlike Kawhi's mystery hand "ailments."Lol. here comes the but he was "injured" excuses
Yeah, well, it's kind of hard not to be sometimes.
Most recently in 2014, right after they had won the Championship. And he was the high scorer on the team both in the regular season and in the playoffs. And the Spurs had almost the entire team returning the next year. And the window closing on the big man who was the heart and soul of the team for 17 years. Yeah, most teams would consider that the best time to trade away their starting PG.
Do I need to put that in blue for you?
IDK. 2014 was nice. But there were plenty here, including me that realized his quickness was dropping off. In any event, I get not wanting to trade away a PG after a championship. But giving him a new contract for 15,000,000 was just absurd. I was a huge TP fan. Thought he was near the very top of PG for many years. But it seemed pretty clear what his downside was as he got older.
IMO...if you're trying to do the best for the franchise, they should have either 1) traded him or 2) given him a more reasonable contract that wouldn't handcuff them as he declined.
So was it just a case of rewarding a player for his past? So I get that too but let's call a spade a spade then and not pretend that it isn't significantly hurting them right now.
Injured first game of the year. People expect this guy to start a 7 game series vs Cavs/Warriors.
So Pop can lean on this obviously. In a week, it's going to be interesting to see if Parker comes back just as bad. I'm sure he'll give Parker an adequate sample size before making big decisions like demoting his 15 year starting PG. Next two months should be interesting.
Do you prefer a broken arm in a meaningless last game of the regular season?Injured first game of the year. People expect this guy to start a 7 game series vs Cavs/Warriors.
