Classic ducks
I can't see Tony playing if he's third on the depth chart. Or maybe even second. Seems like he has an active social life and I just can't seem him wanting to dedicate all of the time just to sit on the bench and watch other players.
He's got better and more fun to do.

That's great....but how about we promote him to be the back up first???
if he would not have been hurt the last month he would have been the backup
he will make mistakes but spurs have to resign simmons they can not afford to go an experience point guard
lenonard will create some also.
They do need some raw talent to develop and grow. But I doubt it will be a gift. If Murray was just a little bit steadier he's already outplaying Mills ... With sufficient playing time it will become evident Murray should be starting.
He's worth whatever any team is willing to pay him... 8-12 mil a yr is probably not a bad start for him.
I think in the off-season the spurs will address the Tony situation. If he can come back early they'll keep him in the books, if not they can trade him to whatever team will dump his contract and resign him next year.
I am sure he has not played his last game as a Spur.
money is money
You can pay more than its worth. 7m would be pushing it.
I don't know if this is the end for Tony Parker, but if it is... Thank You for the memories #9
doesn't always matter. He's not the type to waste a year (in his opinion) going to practice, traveling around, and sitting on the bench.
I agree in principle. Tony isn't being traded against his will but that doesn't mean he won't choose to retire via a trade and waive. If we find a team willing and offer a second rounder or something for it then the Spurs could save huge money and salary cap space.
Tony could come back to the team and say he's done and agree to do this to get his salary off the books. But again, that would end up being his choice.
He was a calming influence in games and ran the offense way better than folks give him credit for in here. We might be 2-2 with GS right now, even with Kawhi being out had Tony not gone down. I think the Spurs could have hung on in game 1 and game 3 using Mills in a reserve role and starting Tony. Murray is too green and Mills has proven he's best as bench juice.
If the trade and waive were to happen the Spurs' off season focus needs to be strengthening the point position...and the center spot...power forward spot...shooting guard, etc.........

All this love for TP is over-blown. He was the least of the Big 3 and rarely stepped his game up in the playoffs. The only time he really shined was when he went up against the corpses Cleveland had to start in the finals. Boobie Gibson, Larry Hughes and Eric Snow
His injury was a blip to me. His good play was the outlier - not what we saw during the regular season. Yes - dude is done for sure now and was done before the injury. He contributed some good play and was more effective than Aldridge, but is that really saying much? He made some 3 pointers and a few jump shots but never helped boost anyone else's game.
Whatever. I'm ready for the team to move on from him and won't shed one nostalgic tear. He's going to collect 15 Million while rehabbing and that will be the end.
You got this all twisted. We wouldn't be talking about Klay Thompson's lack of scoring if TP had stayed healthy. He'd be getting torched, posted up, etc.. just as much as Aldridge.
I laugh when people talk about Mills fitting the Spurs perfectly.
Perfectly awful is what is playoff shooting is.
2nd round and after the last 2 years he's been pure trash.
14% 3pt in the WCF, he is an awesome fit if the goal is to lose.
And Parker is awful also.
Get rid of both.
I agree with this.
Mills might be the most overrated player on this board just for hitting shots sometimes.. tbh..
I hope he's gone.
I love Patty, but he has been very inconsistent during the season, and has completely shriveled up and died in the playoffs. We don't need him anymore. Tony, on the other hand, is better than you will likely concede. In some ways, he is Mills' opposite; he was very inconsistent (and injured a lot) during the season, only to rise to the occasion in the playoffs. However, especially after this injury, we need to find a way to get him off the roster and his contract off the books.
It is Murray Time. Pop needs to throw him into the fire just as he did Tony as a rookie. He is better now than Tony was then. With Dijon starting the Spurs are unlikely to win 60 games or have the second best record in the league, but they could be just as ready for the playoffs as they have been in recent years. If the Dubs and Cavs stay intact next season, it is hard to see any moves that would clearly propel us past them in any case. Just say no to CP3, Lowry, Hill et al.
At least Hill and Holiday have the size and skill to play off the ball with Murray and not need to be hidden on defense.
God I wish the team had the pieces to be aggressive on defense all over.
Yes.
This is the recipe I like. Paying a shooter who can't defend 12-15 million per year would be a massive mistake.
I'm convinced, if you're paying a player 10+ mil per year, he has to be a strong defender at the very least. If not, you're spinning tires and making no real ground on the Warriors or Cavs.
This is it, tbh, but you can be a super-sub making $14m a year...
Will he be ? That one of nasties injuries that can occur. Spurs really cannot afford to wait for him till ASG weekend, and see what happens then.
