I don't know if it's true, but it's plausible.
The problem is, so many people just make up and attribute it to "a source". If I want that, I can get it here every day.
"Paul was seriously interested in playing for the Spurs, according to a source. But with Aldridge’s status with the Spurs up in the air, it made the situation less attractive. It probably would have been awkward for Paul to take the starting role over longtime Spurs point guard, respected foe and friend Tony Parker."

Houston was the more attractive place tbh..especially if you factor in everything..Kawhi/Harden cancel out..
Spurs have too many question marks as of TODAY
It's more likely this is PR / posturing by Paul now he's a Rocket. He's got a vested interest in making Houston more attractive than SA for free agents, and it's likely we're in compe ion for some of the same players come July 1.
We dodged a bullet not getting this clown.
Spurs didn't have serious interest in Paul. That would be key to this information
GTFOH harden plays his position, Kawhi is certainly better. d'antoni the coach, no bigs no D. And a 7 second offense while paul loves to pound the ball.
But I thought the Spurs weren't interested in him.
Parker's words last year when Conley voiced concerns about Parker's coexistence....
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/sp...-fine-with-it/Parker said he harbors no concerns about his future role, reiterating that his job is only to please coach Gregg Popovich.
"We talked about it all year long," Parker said. "I am fine with it (a changing role), and going forward it's going to be like that. As long as Pop is happy, I'm good."
conley also had reservations about joining the spurs because parker.
people were getting after kawhi for not being social... is anyone gonna be getting after tony for being on the team/in the way?
What kind of comparison is that ^
if we didn't have tony last summer, maybe we get conley.
if we didn't have tony this summer, maybe we get cp3.
the problem isn't that kawhi isn't reaching out to other players... the problem is simply tony still being on the team. and that probably won't change and will continue to cause issues and limit the spurs potential. it obviously has already.
That is still a terrible parallel to draw. No one should be mad at a player who is in the last year of his contract simply being on the team on a contract the team gave him
The fact that it now possibly hinders SA is not the point.
People being "mad" at Kawhi for not recruiting is entirely different and if you don't know that then you are probably not the brightest of people.
If we are to assume you aren't an idiot, then the only other logical conclusion is that you are a troll.
that's a lot of maybes.
I mean, you can't really blame Tony. It's not his fault Spurs gave him the money, and it's not his fault they start him and don't trade him. That's on PATFO, tbh
This part of what I meant when I wanted the Spurs to wait until 2018, tbh..people think it's because of the FA class, but that isn't the primary reason..next off-season provides a fresh start, where they no longer have to feel loyal to guys like Parker, Ginobili or even Gasol/Green/Aldridge..
Many seem to ignore the way this organization operates, which is heavily influenced by the culture they have created(which involves loyalty)..I don't know why anybody would think that they aren't going to allow Parker to remain a starter or at least have a prominent role until his contract ends, it's clearly their plan IMO..it obviously hurts the team(Parker playing well in the Memphis series was nice, short-term, but would have been harmful for next season if he hadn't gotten hurt) but not everything is about the on-court product..
Let me ask everyone for a simple or maybe a not so simple question... Why the media only seems to be mentioning Houston & Cleveland as suitors for any of the remaining Top free agents out there.. They talk like it is a foregone conclusion that only these 2 teams are in the mix for anyone else..
2ndly - Does anyone have an ideas who teams who have staked teams like a GoldenState or Cleveland can afford to afford to pay a all-star roster and look to add 1 more, when the spurs cannot even afford to resign a bench player in PMILLS. And we only have 1 superstar player in KL.
Would just like to know some of your theories on this.
Spurs likely had concerns about emptying their roster for him.
The Air just got dense in here for some posters. How does Parker playing off the bench affect Chris Paul in the starting lineup? The fact that people can't see through CP3's bull is beyond me.
Holy ! My brain hurts now.
Not only that - he's a franchise legend who when he got the deal was performing very well. He just declined unfortunately. He still cares, works hard and even had a better playoffs then anyone not named Kawhi.
You can't believe everything you read on the internet. That's how World War I got started.I don't know if it's true, but it's plausible.
