Yeah, this is probably best, but it sucks cause we're also kind of wasting a year of prime Kawhi.
Robz is correct. He can say Jan all he wants but Spurs will ease him back in.
My concern is by late feb/ early march, how effective will he be when there will literally only be 2 1/2 months of basketball left at that point. He will be a s of himself. No one has successfully come back from this type of injury and be efficient.
I love Tony, but he needs to retire.

I don't remember someone called Tony Parker.
Yes, his name was Tony Porker tbh.
I wouldnt write us off because of one player who we didnt even have in Game 1 of the WCF when we were sodomizing the Warriors in front of their home crowd
No. He will be forced to train and take care of his body. Hopefully he looks outside the spurs organization for a trainer. The spurs strength coach is worthless.
Nothing to see here. GOAT player saying GOAT things. Moving along.
Exactly. The team will be just fine without him. He hasn't been Tony Parker in about 4 years now.
If they say they don't want him back, he will retire rather than getting waived. If he's not going to be available until January at the earliest, nobody else will be jumping at the chance to pick him up. He would announce that after further consideration, blah, blah, blah.
LOL... so NOW you want to take a year to rebuild?
I guess it depends on whether they have a chance to add a serious player this year. They can have all the cap space they want in 2018, but it's hard to add multiple Championship-caliber players in one season. If things don't go right, you wind up "one year out" year after year.
Stretching Parker would clear something like $10M in cap space this season. If that made the difference in being able to swing a deal for someone like CP3? You damn betcha they should do it. I know exactly what you're saying, but it's not a no-brainer by any means.

The only player.... I mean the ONLY player...that could ever take me or my son one-on-one is Tony Parker. But who knows, maybe his ruptured quad would give me a chance. -- Lavar Ball
He was talking to L´Equipe, and the NBA season begins on October not January, so maybe he is showcasing him to some European teams to play there for a year. You never know.
It´s really difficult for the Spurs to land a marquee free agent this season, evendoe there are ways to dream of adding players such as Paul, Hayward or George, the most likely scenario will be for the Spurs to stay put, maybe add a vet or a experienced European PG to play part-time untill Parker is ready to go and be an insurance in case DeJounte doesn´t pan out or gets injured.
For what Pop said, it seems the Spurs will try to bring back most of their Free Agents, if we can resign all of them Minus Patty and Gasol, and find promising replacements for them, then i will be happy.
Always considering Tony has a credible timetable to be at full strenght after the All Star break.
Buford better go ahead and give him a 3yr/45M extension while his stock is low or else this going to come back and haunt us....
Of course they'll bring back most, if not all their free agents, RC Buford is a dear in headlights when it comes to signing free agents. Pop is a close second.
Well sure, there are caveats to this, but in general, making what I seem to be reasonable assumptions, stretching TP should be the last option only in a dream scenario you can land a star this year that you love long-termIf they say they don't want him back, he will retire rather than getting waived.

2018 versatility is a mirage.
Caproom wrecked if they keep Mills and match Simmons while spending the MLE and BAE. So to get that flexibility they have to dump Green and Aldridge. Such a great plan, lose two starters and replace them with 2018 free agents which are crap.
LMA and Green will be among the best gettable 2018 free agents, that's how bad the class is.
Keeping Parker on the roster when he won't even play until all-star break is perplexing. Then what, work him in with substantial minutes after Murray and presumably Mills have spent all year doing it? Just force feed an old, falling apart Parker into the rotation?
Wasting Kawhi's prime, that's what's going to happen.
Agree with most of this, except they should not keep Patty. Let him go.
Id go hard after Hayward if I were SA, not CP3.
Go after Jrue too but only at a certain cost.
Regardless, I really want SA to get creative and get another late 1st or early 2nd. At the end of the day, the draft is where the real progress will be made and getting two young quality role players on cheap 4-5 yr deals would expedite the type of growth this team needs. Free Agency isnt the answer, a lot of FAs are and will be overpaid for pedestrian production. Thats why banking on the 2018 Free Agency class, when LA walks, will be a massive mistake. SA needs another pick or two this draft. Id have LA, Kyle, the 2018 1st and cash after a Pau dump as assets to acquire another pick or two.

Aldridge will either be dumped or he'll opt out. He won't be on the books after next season regardless. Realistically, I'm hoping the Spurs dangle him for a lottery pick like they did George Hill.
Good post!!
I would not be upset at that move.
I don't want Mills back at all, not even at MLE money. But I'm putting what i think the Spurs might do, and keeping Mills is a realistic danger.
Lol at people getting their hopes up. Porker will suck us out of all of the money he can.
Ginobili will also comeback and get a "thank you" extension, he will also demand us to sign another 2 scrub argentinians.. Our next free agent signings will be Jermaine O'Neal and Vince Carter
we will be GSW's s like we were Lakers' s in that late 2000s
