Parker is closer to losing his spot on the rotation than getting back to being a starter, tbh.
Ok we had our fun experiment with Parker coming off the bench, but let’s get back to playing serious basketball. If we land Kyrie or someone, maybe then you can bench Parker, but seriously...let’s not screw around and miss the playoffs.

just send Patty to Austin ... an put White into the rotation instead
The streak ends the year the big 3 is completly out of the starting lineup
This is what happens when you fail to develop even halfway adequate talent to replace them.
While I guess this is technically true, there's been no better team at developing talent. It just turns out you can't just replace 3 HOF players without good draft picks. You're not just going to find a Manu in the 2nd round anymore.
Why do we need 50 wins
Last time I checked there is no trophy for 50 win losers
This sperm team is good enough for a punch in the face of Aussie burger
Hence the phrase "halfway adequate". Not finding HoF players is one thing, but backing them up with glorified D-Leaguers is another.
Not really. Show me a team who has done a better job replacing 3 hall of fame players without going into the draft.
50 wins at this point. It doesn’t win you anything. It’s already a record. Let’s just make the playoffs. Hopefully get healthy and start playing good basketball near the end of the season.
This is far from possible.. but here’s a better storyline. “First time in 20 years they didn’t win 50 games BUT they won the championship!”. Much better than “Spurs managed to pull off 50 wins despite injuries. Kept streak going, but bounced in first round”.
You don’t count Kawhi as halfway decent?
Hes a china doll that apparently got chipped and broke to pieces... but no one would say he’s not halfway decent. Too bad the Wolverine and Grandpa Juice heal quicker tbh
Kawhi was supposed to replace Bowen. Mission accomplished there. Still waiting for replacements for everyone else.
It's 2018 and all we have in the pipeline is Murray.
he has more than replaced bowen, though. if anything Green has replaced bowen
We developed the #15 pick into a transcending talent, he just happens to be hurt. But granted there are other stars out with season ending injuries. It's difficult to sustain a winning team for 20 years and still not fall apart when guys start to get older.
Nah. He was meant to replace Bowen at 20 years old. He showed talent to be much more than that and developed to be much more. The Bowen replacement turned out to be Danny who with all his faulty is probably a better shooter than Bowen was, since he doesn’t just shoot from corners a la Bowen. You don’t have to minimize everything they have done to criticize what they have done lately.
The Spurs future is tied up to one guy who is hurt and may or may not even be a Spur in a few years. Relying on has beens has left them in a bad spot. What they have done (and not done) lately is the problem.
Unfortunately this wouldn't help much. We still have too much trash dead weight on the team.
end of the day, every team in the league except boston/warriors has their future tied up to one guy. boston cause they have no one superstar and gsw because they have 2 top 5 players
Pretty hilarious that the team has zero talent but its in the third seed and yet Pop still sucks as a coach according to ST. All things being true at the same time
with their MVP candidate having missed basically the whole season
Agreed, even though Parker seems to have a lost a step he's still much better than what the Spurs have starting now.
Getting back on the subject of the OP though... if Kiwi doesn’t come back it doesn’t matter what you do. Dijon is playing very well considering he’s a roleplayer at this point. He’s very young and developing and the path back to contention starts with developing a new generation. Tony is a roleplayer right now and he wasn’t playing that well as a starter thus his demotion. You got to see what you have in Dijon.
Literally the Easiest schedule before this week games+ LMA/ the old guys did step up a lot...
You can't rely on them to bail out the D-leaguers that Pop is giving minutes to forever ( as we're starting to see).
