I don't think he starts. Come on dude. He might play a little. Human victory cigar minutes.![]()
There are people thinking Parker won't come back and be in the SL next year ?
silly you...
I don't think he starts. Come on dude. He might play a little. Human victory cigar minutes.![]()
Do I think he will start when he returns? Definitely.
The question is whether he'll be worth a damn...and I'm not so sure about that. Despite his great play for 8 games in the playoffs, he was still mediocre at best (and absolute at worst) for 60+ games in the regular season. Now he'll be 35 years old and coming off a major injury. All I know is I sure as wouldn't bet on him returning and being a quality starting caliber player.
He's not gonna start dude.![]()
I think you might be wrong this time. Never underestimate the ESTEEM of Pop. He'll throw that old boy in there despite all common sense.
"Gotta get him in game shape before the playoffs..."
"He doesn't have his legs under him yet, he needs minutes."
"His steady floor generalship of the offense is exactly what this team needs."
"WE'RE GOING TO NEED HIM FOR THE PLAYOFFS."
Good lord... my soul is not ready.
His compe ion is Murray and Forbes.Providing Murray doesn't go ham on the league to start the season and finds some resemblance of a jump shot, Parker will be back in the SL by March.
Watching Tony and Manu coming off the bench at the same time? Goose bumps.
I hope you're right...but I'd be more surprised if he didn't end up starting. Obviously part of it depends on how the other guys look in his absence. If Murray or someone else balls out and looks like a competent PG, then sure, maybe Parker becomes a bench player. Otherwise, I think he starts. I mean yeah, he might come off the bench the first few games back...but once he's fully rehabbed, I think Pop starts him unfortunately.
As if they're not going to sign a rotation point guard. Whether it's Mills being re-signed or failing that, someone like Teletovic or Williams for the MLE, they'll have someone good enough to at least split minutes with Murray.
Parker will definitely start sooner than later primarily because any of those three are much more compatible alongside Murray than Parker.
There is a slight possibility Murray goes HAM.
It isn't great, but it's there. He has the athleticism, arrogance and work ethic to be a Kawhi, but not everyone can be a Kawhi...
I will say: He just could... He just could.
I don't think it's anywhere near a certainty, but he could.
Porker's health has been deteriorating tbh. There's real question whether he'll ever be able to walk again tbh..or worse tbh. He'll be lucky if he can ever walk again, never mind play basketball at even a rec league level tbh. Time to turn out the lights Porker suckers, party's over tbh.
Murray might be the most overrated Spurs player since SJAX tbh.
Then let this next year play out. Suck it up. See what he's got and if he can't walk- make a decision there, but it will only help, cap-wise for the future after that.
Might even help, on the court, that very year, so... let's see how this goes.
What part of "slight possibility" do you not understand, doofus?
There's a "slight possibility" Ian Clark may win Finals MVP, too, tbh. Two can play that game tbh.
No way Tony works through rehab to come off the bench. No way. Think Jameer Nelson with Orlando.
Yup. Like winning a Lottery. So what part of "slight possibility" do you not understand?
There's a slight chance I might play in the NBA and win NBA Finals MVP tbh.![]()
So you get it. What the are you arguing about, fool?
Parker WILL be back next year, barring any complications with his injury.
He is a Spur for life. He will be here until his contract expires, whether it be this one or the next. No doubt in my mind.
Whether he starts or not...that's still up in the air imo. Depends on if the Spurs can draw another big point guard this summer (a.k.a Paul or Hill), or if Murray can develop into a starting-caliber guard after being thrown in the deep end (just as Parker did in 2002).
Personally, I feel like his starting days are over, and he knows that. If the Spurs are depending on him coming back in that role...that would be a bad decision.
it depends how Dijon plays up until his return tbh
Yessir. We in the same boat. One of us may start paddling a different way, but we usually on the same course. Even while we argue as we're paddling the same way.
