Parker in a Laker Facility

[benefactor]

Parker will be with the Spurs this season...probably the last impact season of Duncan's career. That's all that really matters right now.

Question to Laker D-Bags on this site.
Where is the salary cap room to sign a $12-15MM per year player?

The only individual players that could swing salary via sign and trade that are Gasol and Bryant (which isn't happening). The lesser players on the LAL roster would not be enough talent wise - these players have injury issues or psychological problems (you know who I'm talking about).

The Mid-Level exception is the only vehicle available to sign a player for the LAL and Parker is looking for a lot more money than that.

In other words, Parker worked out at private facility close to where his beer wench works. Nothing more than that.

Oh I understand this... I'm just saying that Parker is going to have to be our best player throughout this entire season for us to have a chance. Of course health and a good bench are key issues but none are bigger than Tony getting back to his 2007 form.

Typical foggy headed TP homer opinion. Fast forward to 2010 already.

Parker doesn't need to average 20+ for the spurs to succeed. They just need him to score efficiently, not turn the ball over, and make an concerted effort to get other guys involved in the offense.

The good ol' days of TP the 1 man fast break/scoring machine had their place in time, but that is not a good idea anymore for a variety of reasons. The spurs need him to diversify now. They need him to shift his focus to getting the other guys on the team involved and not worry about his scoring average. The spurs will have plenty of guys who can score now. Same goes for Manu. Ideally, I'd like to see both their scoring averages drop 2-3 pts and assists go up 1-2 each.. though I'd settle for even less than that. If they both did that instead of trying to win scoring les the spurs will be in much better shape IMO.

Tony walks to a Lakers facility to punch some guys there. what's wrong about that?

Nope, for you people who don't live in So Cal like me...it's much easier for an NBA player to get his workout at a pro facility than say, 24 hour Fitness or LA Sports. The El Segundo Facility is private so TP doesn't have to worry about anything but working out. You're married to a Hollywood actress, it's the off-season, AND HE'S WORKING OUT. Him doing a boxing workout with BOTH gloves indicates that he has NO HAND ISSUES. That's a good sign. It's not indicative of anything else. His agenda is to win another championship in San Antonio and earn an extension like his backcourt mate, Manu Ginobili. Why some of you CAN'T see that is beyond me? Some of you are so EASILY swayed by MEDIA.

He'll be a Laker within a year.

Let's see . . . you are a professional basketball player in LA and you want to work out . . . hmmm . . .

What are you even talking about? Are you saying that Tony and Manu are worried about there scoring average because that couldn't be further from the truth

[ChumpDumper]

I see the season has already started for the agenda posters.

Somebody knows what's up.

Has no one ever seen Rocky?

You put the opponents picture in your mirror to see it every day when you wake up. Tony's mirror obviously wasn't big enough to fit that big of a Lakers logo.

The obvious is so obvious. Tony's got the eye of the tiger.

future point guard. Somewhere, mitch kupchak is working on a tony parker for luke walton swap. Beneficial for both teams. Eva's going to get closer to where she works and richard jefferson will benefit from walton's addition to the spurs.

lol ...
