Former Spur Tony Parker Contemplating Retirement

[RD2191]

Love TP, but these last few years slightly changed the way I look at him..

Running Kawhi out of town was one thing, but then going to Charlotte? Where they ultimately benched him? Ugh..he should have been on the Spurs bench mentoring White and Forbes, while cheering for Patty..

HH dropping truth nukes

Should've retired after 14'. He did nothing but hurt the spurs since then legend though for sure

Spurs win Game 7 by 20 if they had Parker instead of Mills, tbh.

someone’s confusing tony with manu.

Last time the Spurs won a Game 7 on the road, it was Parker leading the way, tbh. Duncan and Ginobili were 0-for-12 in the final 19 minutes.

[J_Paco]

Parker stays with Spurs "dude is too jealous, drove kl away, won't share minutes, plz pay Patty, tosb, I want Parker leave"

Parker leaves as free agent " dude is too jealous, he needs to baby sit,"

Exactly, they spin the narrative to suit their constant, unyielding hatred of Tony.

SMDH

I want him to go for that 20th season mark, but he does have young kids and the 20 seasons isn't as special (since he left).

We all know it would've been game 7 2015 Parker bro..

Pawn Patty and I’d welcome Tony back for the 3rd point guard chair. I’d even give him a shot at grandma and let him find out where a real man goes.

True. 20 points, five rebounds and five assists sounds about right, tbh.

[gambit1990]

good thing tony knows his level of play better than timvp.

if tony was really anywhere near as good this past season as timvp likes to think then there's no way he'd be contemplating retirement.

[gambit1990]

for tp it's:
-retirement
-very limited PT with CHA
-possibly less limited PT with some other scrub team

[Cane]

Mmm shooting 26% from 3, keep cashing those checks Porker

But at least he'll have more time for pool parties now that he won't have to spend so much time practicing his game

Oh wow I just remember him getting torched by Jamal Crawford in game 7. Too bad he was the worst guard on the floor games 1-6

Hmm, No, unless you mean instead of D.White who was even worse than Mills.

[dbreiden83080]

100% should have retired when he was done in SA..

[XDT76]

Maybe we can trade Mills for Parker and Miles Bridge?

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Spurs should trade Mills, then sign Parker for vet minimum to be the 3rd string PG and mentor the young kids. This team could need some of that Big 3 aura around just to gel better. Let him retire in 2020 as a Spur

Agreed

What happened to the CP3 avatar, tbh?

[apalisoc_9]

Would have probably done a better job than Mills this year.

Ding ding ding we have a winner

tbh Manu outscored Tony 26-17 in game 7 against NOLA in 2008 per par.

The mature Tony Parker always had a calming influence on the offense, made sure players were in the right spots, and found the open man. Patty Mills sometimes looks like he's point guard for the YMCA men's team when he's ruining the point. Overpaying Patty was one of the FO's biggest mistakes, along with a loyalty contract for an over-the-hill Spanish center who never did anything for the franchise yet was paid more by the Spurs than Tim Duncan was at the same age.

I'm still pissed we let Tony walk while overpaying those other two bozos.

[RC_Drunkford]

I never got the talk about Tony being a mentor. At least not for on the court stuff. He wasn't a great point guard in terms of distribution. It's not like he was a prototypical PG that was the floor general. He made his living by being quicker than anyone else on the court. It's not really something he can pass on. And imo, certainly not worth taking up a bench spot.

He was a score first PG but he was the floor general and knows all the plays Pop likes to run and knows the spots every player has to be in. This being a new team, a lot of people on our roster don't have that knowledge. Read some of those Kemba Walker interviews, he was schooling the entire Hornets team about plays

bingo

[TheGreatYacht]

Proved he can still play by being cut from the rotation of a lottery team in the East.

Parker has been done since that injury, tbh.

The 9 fingered Lithuanian got cut from the rotation as well does that mean he's done as well or are we playing favorites?
