During his exit interview pop might be trying to talk him into retirement. The people around him should. Made a lot of money, won championships, is not starting anymore. There really is no point for him to go on. He is not good enough to start on any team.
Sometimes players at this stage of their career get a little bit hung up on chasing stats. Looking at his stats he has almost 19,000 points. Maybe 20,000 points is something he wants. But I don’t think he would get enough playing time to score that much. Other than chasing that I can’t see why he would want to play again next year? Again he is not starting anymore. And he won’t start for any team.
if tony insists that he has any more left to give a team i wouldn't sign him for anything more than the bare minimum and only with the understanding that he is no longer a rotational player.
i’d take calderon over him next season.
i wonder if any other teams bother with making tony an offer. if they did i really doubt it’d be for much.
i dont see any value in bringing parker back, even for the vet min.
i mean why... so every now and again he can have a throwback 12 point performance off the bench? he doesnt have a specialty. he doesn't give spacing, doesn't penetrate, doesn't do anything on defense. just have to hope he nails 2 point jumpers off screens?
he just got paid 15 mil or whatever this season. that's his legacy/loyalty farewell check imo
same.
his PER after two playoff games is -11.3...
I think the writing is on the wall. TP accepted a bench role graciously and he’s been basically benched in the playoffs. There is not big money coming his way.
I could see him back if things go awry and giving him money does not change the course; like if they tank. Also if they lose Kawhi & Manu retires I can see Pop not wanting all leadership gone. , CLE brought Perkins back
But money is not coming TPS way imo. At least not any money that matters based on any moves SA wants to make.
He’s not good enough to come off the bench for anything but a bad team and those teams usually prefer to play inexperienced youth to develop assets. He’s a minimum contract vet and that’s only bc I am sure Pop values his experience and hopes he can mentor Dijon, White or whomever they get next season. Point is, that’s not fun if he’s not playing and he’s only getting token minutes right now in a very, very bad guard rotation. He really needs to retire.
there’s no way he’s retiring
Depending on what the team's off-season plans are, I could see Tony taking a one-year min or RE deal to see if another year away from his injury will help. If he gets better, he'll get his two-year retirement deal. If he doesn't, he'll spend a final season as the third PG then hang them up.
ok he can play in europe. i'll allow it. It's all about what the spurs offer and whether he wants that ridiculous 20 year record.there’s no way he’s retiring
He could be the doughnut boy while smashing Becky & whomever's wife on the side
hang it up and takes forbes with you.

i would take everyone on the list over tony. not big on IT's height/drama but i think he'll have a better season next year. would risk potential drama with rondo too...
really want cp3 or milos. neither is likely to happen. milos has a player option for like, ~$6 million next season. would be cool if he opted out.
And Pau. And Mills. And B Paul. And Danny.
3yrs/9mil would be fair tbh but they probably will give him twice that

nothing new but i'm glad more people are coming around to the idea of letting him go.
in the POs he averaged: 6.6 points on 38% shooting, and 1.2 assists... offensive rating was 80
dude is done... please let someone else sign him.
dude can barely play anymore, even in limited minutes, and you think a 3 year deal is fair? dude just got paid 15 mil this past season to do nothing.
He's in the Robert Parish stage of his career which is he's washed up but will stick around collecting pay checks.
As long as anyone pays to see him play, they'll pay him.
Ladies & Gentlemen, a few words from Bishop Bullwinkle....
Can the Spurs split the difference between Nick Collison and the Coyote?
Would love t bring in Milos for the return of the beautiful game.
3yrs/$48M seems to be our going rate for washed up player loyalty contracts.
Do it Pop!!
