McDonald: Of trade rumors and plantar fasciitis

[igruex]

For KB, LBJ, Dwight or that kind of player, sure, that would be a no brainer to include Parker in a trade. but for Paul, considering that Tony isn't so far from the same level (both at their best) and that his style probably fits better with the spurs, i don't think it's a so easy choice.

Have you really seen Chris Punk play? CP3 for TP is a no brainer, whether you like it or not.
Oh, and the Spurs aren't a social club, NBA teams are franchises, it's a business after all.

Uh? Says who?
Duncan is the only untouchable part AFAIK. I mean, sure, you would have to throw a ridiculous offer for the Spurs to part ways with Tony, but the franchise is TD until further notice.

Moreover, TD and also Manu could be considered less tradeable than Tony, because what we could get for them is a lot worse than any deal involving TP.

He's improved a lot since he first took over for Ludden. Either way, he still contributes more insider info than 99% of the posters here...so why ?

Just because someone has trade value doesn't mean they're "tradeable." The Spurs would part ways with Manu way before they would with Tony.

Considering nothing went down, I can't see any need as to why any reporter would want to bring this up - unless we know for sure it happened.

As far as this article is concerned, a lot of bread - and no meat.

Reminds me of another mcdonald... Ronald.

Of trade rumors and plantar fasciitis
By Jeff McDonald


So maybe Parker was on trading block, or maybe he wasn't. It is inconsequential now because, A) Parker still works for the Spurs; no trade went through and B) Tuesday's other bombs -- that Parker is playing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot -- pretty much nuked his immediate trade value anyway.

Plantar fasciitis is a painful irritation of the tissue on the bottom of the foot, usually felt in the heel. Tim Duncan had the same condition in 2005-06, and it wiped out most of his season.


Even in Tuesday's win over the Lakers, when Parker scored 22 points and had one of his better games, he struggled to blow by the 35-year-old Derek Fisher.

"My plantar fasciitis is killing me," he said afterward.

I sure hope TP is saving it for the playoffs. he looks completely expendable so far this year

I've noticed that your posts are always negatively inclined. Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing. Try it next time.

Chiro/Sports injury specialist here in S.D. treated my plantar fasciitis and after about 6 treatments he had the dad gum thing all but wiped out. Said he could do the same for others. Not saying he could cure Parker in 6 trips but.....it would be nice if he could.

I've seen posting elsewhere that the Spurs medical staff is good. But some of those posts are from the same sheep who pine how good Pop is so.....

Anyone had this plantar f? How were your treatments?

Just couldn't help yourself could you?

Also, Parker actually uses his feet unlike you who sits at a computer all day long starting Hate-a-Pop threads. So yes, it is unlikely that your treatment would have the same benefits for Parker as they had for you.
