Parker: " I (still) want to play three more seasons, do the 20 seasons with Spurs"

[Chillen]

Best duo ever?

Kawhi was singlehandedly spanking those two twinks. Jordan and Pippen would absolutely dominate them.

Durant would be crying for his mother on the sidelines if he had to go against a prime Jordan and Pippen, they would absolutely dominate them. I don't care what people say caught in the moment, that was one of the best dynamic duo's in NBA history along with Shaq and Kobe. These comparisons are just really over the top at this point.

Bill I know you're a big parker fan, but all of SA loves Manu. Duncan and Manu would be considered the best duo.

Duncan and Robinson was a duo and a great one, but I always thought of Duncan, Manu, Parker as a three headed monster so to speak. They are the best big 3 in NBA history!

I agree with everything you said. I would take all those duos/trios over these two twinks any day of the week.

People are getting caught up in this because their team is stacked. If you put these two on the Bulls and take out Jordan and Pippen with the rest of the roster they had, LOL, it would not end in a Championship IMO.

Take out Shaq and Kobe and put these two on those Lakers teams? They don't win . Take and Shaq and Kobe and put them on this Warriors team? I think they would ing dominate. Put Jordan and Pippen on this current Warriors team? They'd win even more games IMO.

A prime Duncan and Manu on this Warriors team would make these guys even more unstoppable.

Do these guys think before speaking?

ing losers that can't figure out the team is stacked when making these best of all time Duo claims. I can't believe Jeff Van Gundy would say this, and if he didn't say it just for hype and ratings and he truly believes it, then I don't even want to talk to that clown.

Prime Duncan > Durant
Prime Parker > Curry (as evident in their only playoff matchup)
Prime Ginobili < Klay Thompson

[objective]

What do people think will happen if Parker gets stretched?

The Spurs timeline for being cleared to play sounds like the all Star break, or just general February.

Would ANY team even sign him in the preseason? Would any team want to tie up a roster spot even in the minimum to sign a guy who won't play until the season's already more than half over?

And then what ... Is a 35 year old tired from rehab Parker going to audition for teams in February?

Can you imagine him lowering himself to audition in free agent tryouts against other washed up points desperate to get back in the league? Having to prove himself in a 4 man draw with the likes of Jarrett Jack, Kendall Marshall or Jordan Farmar? Maybe called in by the Nets to beat out Donald Sloan?

What do you guys think would happen if he was stretched? Could he come back to haunt them or just plain sit out?

One thing I do know: if they keep Parker, obviously losing out on upgrading the roster, and he then gets injured and out for the year ... It will be a stunning disaster

as expected, the ST meltdow is already starting

Not only he will be back next year, will be in the SL after a couple of months of rehad but will sign a 3 years extension around 20 M I guess

Entirely possible.

That's not what they're paid to do.

Yall critiquing TP but he sure was sorely missed in these playoffs after the injury, all TOSB that he is.

The team actually compensated well for the loss of Tony and continued to win UNTIL Kawhi went down. Then the team missed him.

reading some posts I can't help myself thinking

Like clockwork you are. Dependable & consistent as the sun rising and setting. Lol.

The most likely scenario is having him traded to a team in a salary dump and then that team immediately waving him.

Don't understand what your point is :
1. Patellar tendon ruptures are more common (in professional athletes) and more severe than quad tendon ruptures?
2. Patellar tendon ruptures are more common (in professional athletes)but potentially less severe than quad tendon ruptures?

Statistically, Patella tendon ruptures are MORE common in athletes because they happen to people aged 40 and younger.

Quad ruptures are Less common in athletes because they usually occur to people 40 and older. (what does that tell you about TP's body?)


As to the severity - they are both bad but quad tears can be more complex. There are 4 muscles (hence quad) each with their own connection to the tendon that attaches to the top of the knee cap. There is one patella tendon that connects the bottom part of the knee cap to the tibia bone (shin) of the leg.

Both the (patella and quad tendons) are needed to straighten out the leg. Range of motion (ROM) and weakness in the muscles are the biggest issues post surgery.


To fix the tear, holes are drilled in to the top of the knee cap and the tendon is reattached via some sort of surgical thread or wire. The point regarding Parker is that he is a professional athlete. He is expected to perform at a high level on the court and relies on his legs for jumping, running, cutting, etc.. He's not a regular person who judges a successful repair of his torn quad to walking and riding a bike, etc.. He not only wants to return to play NBA level basketball, but he wants another 3 years ? C'mon man. He's starting to sound as ridiculous as Lavar Ball. You don't come back from this sort of injury "stronger and better than ever".

Tony's a fighter and an underrated one. I hope the Spurs let him retire as a Spur too. He could've easily left for L.A. some years back, and he didn't.

[MultiTroll]

Darn. I forgot about Kelenna Azubuike, I thought he was a really good player for the Warriors and a decent person. I liked him. I seem to remember him just disappearing after showing that he can be a good player. Is this the injury that did him in?

It would appear so.
Strictly going by his career stats, he only played 3 more games after the injury.
Traded to the Knicks, waived, picked up by Dallas. NBDL, 3 games with Mavs then out.

i have to put scottie and jordan at the top. they were just such a defensive gauntlet.

[objective]

The longest injury period/rehab of his entire career is 4 weeks in 2010.

He played March 6, and returned April 6.

When he was 27.

There's no way he can be a positive player coming back from nearly 10 months out with a compromised leg and overcompensation issues everywhere else.

If the Spurs don't accept that and move on, shame on them.

What HoTS thinks will happen after the surgery...

Expectation



Reality

So you're saying he'll be back to his usual self after the surgery?

Pretty much everyone on this board said there would be no way Parker would be a positive for the Spurs in this years' playoffs too.

Better than his usual self; he's gonna play his best basketball when he returns in January tbh

This year he played his best basketball in the playoffs, just like he did in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2002.

You gotta read the writing on the wall Tony so it does not get ugly at the end here. Bow out gracefully before you are shown the door..
