In 1999 people complained about the asterisk, and pre-emptively asked for Parker to be traded.
In 2003 people wondered if Duncan could ever win again without D-Rob, and asked for Parker to be traded ("he's worthless, Speedy Claxton has to sub in for him").
In 2005 people said Manu should have received the Finals MVP, and asked for Parker to be traded ("we don't need him, we have Manu").
In 2007 people complained that Parker had received the Finals MVP (

"rookie Danny Gibbons was guarding him"

), and asked for him to be traded ("his value is at his peak and he'll decline fast, best time for a trade").
So as you can see, it's a lot different from all the other off-seasons, when people merely ask for Parker to be traded.
