parker speak about his future

[Freeze]

Because he's not in free agency - he's tied to a contract with a team that brought him 3 rings and other things. Show commitment, become a franchise player. But no, if we don't surround him, he'll leave. Sounds like a Kobe syndrome.

TP said "when my contract is up"

I guess at this time he will be in free agency then

[Marcus Bryant]

Spurs fans worry too much about 2011.

[Kori Ellis]

Idiot. Remember, this is the same player the Spurs were ready to throw under the bus to get Jason Kidd. Loyalty is a two way street.

And Tony isn't even saying he'd leave. He says he'd CONSIDER it. Just like Duncan considered it. Just like Manu considered it.

[da_suns_fan__]

You are a huge dumbass.

A reporter asked him a question about what he will do when his contract is up and he answered it by saying that if Tim/Manu etc are gone and it's not possible to win that he'll consider looking around.

He doesn't say he'll leave and doesn't show any disloyalty.

You are very dumb.

What kind of dumbass compares Parker to Duncan? Yeah...they have real similar personalities!



Parker likes to keep a low profile with his rap career and tv star fiancee, right?

My bet is he'll end up in L.A., NY or Chicago.

[ChumpDumper]

My bet is he'll end up in L.A., NY or Chicago.

If he has a better chance of winning there, sure.

I didn't compare their personalities.
I said Duncan was sitting in Orlando nearly ready to sign in free agency a few years back. And I guarantee you if the Spurs weren't winning the past few years, Duncan would be opting out and moving on next summer.

[L.I.T]

How hard is it to understand? He said nothing out of line, absolutely nothing. As a matter of fact, the only disloyalty being shown is by some -bag fans.

It's not unreasonable for him to look around at the end of his contract. , more power to him. If the Spurs management shows themselves incapable of restocking the teams thats the organizations problem, not Parkers.

If he leaves, good for him. Wish him the best and thank him for helping bring SA 3 les (and counting).

[ShoogarBear]

The Spurs could ensure that Tony will stay by trading Manu now for somebody TP likes passing to.

[RC's Boss]

Kiss his ass good bye while we can get something for him, IMO. You want to admit to skipping town after all this team has done for you, we don't need ya. I've long stood up for him, but this shows lack of class.

Oh, don't get them started.

I vote for this thread to be closed. I wouldn't be mad at all. Dumb ass comments are cool only if they're funny

[BeerIsGood!]

Damn, some fans here worry far too much about this and take it personally. I'm still celebrating this le and will be for a while still. I've gotten to celebrate far more Championships of the teams' fandom I was born into than most other fans could ever dream about. Enjoy the Spurs ride while it lasts then see where it goes from there. No reason to call Parker out for these comments, I'd leave too if I were him and the Spurs were no longer in contention and the people you were great with and won les with were gone. I think if Pop stayed after Timmy and Manu retired then TP would strongly consider staying as well, but without even Pop around there's no reason to stay on a team if that team isn't winning or close to winning.

[ducks]

Enjoy The Rings
worry about this in 4 years


duncan,manu could get hurt before then alot can happen before then

[RC's Boss]

even Pop and RC mentioned they'll be around as long as Tim's here. I guess they have no loyalty either. what you say, I'd prefer a mansion (winning team) over a shack any day. Can you say gravy train?

[TMTTRIO]

I wouldn't blame Tony for doing that. By that time it might be time to start rebuilding anyways. Let's enjoy the team that we have right now. I don't know about Tim but I can see him staying a few more years and I was reading something from Manu and he said that originally he was going to retire when his contract was up but now he feels like he can play for a couple more years after that so we'll see.

[JPB]

I saw a video of his press conference in big parisian hotel:

Asked about his successes, he said that it was only the beginning. His idol is Jordan and he wants to make as well as him, at least (6 rings).

[T Park]

I see the Parker haters have new life and new ammo.

Forget what he did a couple weeks ago.....

[ClingingMars]

He's probably sick of being called boring and being held back by playing in San Antonio as well (see his ridiculous "Yankees" comment).

I bet a trio of Amare, Barbosa and Parker would be nice.

Nah, he likes winning championships more than scoring points. Won't get any championships in Phoenix.

I was wondering when the SAIC would show up in this thread.

[duncan228]

This team is all about winning. No egos, no locker room drama.

Why would it be a surprise, or somehow wrong, if Parker chose to look around when he was able to? If the Spurs aren't contenders then I would wish him luck and thank him for what he brought to this team. If they are contenders I believe he would stay a Spur. It's about winning, it's about the right chemistry. Parker knows that as well as anyone else in that locker room. Who could blame him if he searched for that elsewhere if it isn't happening in SA when his contract's up?

There's no disloyalty in looking at options. I don't think he said anything wrong.

[Spurs Dynasty 21]

translation: when Duncan and Manu leave he will get the out of SA faster then the Mavs were bounced in the playoffs

[MadDog73]

Old news.

He's been saying this for quite some time now.

[Vito Corleone]

Spurs fans worry too much about 2011.

It's coming and its never too early to make a plan for that day. You don't blow up a championship team (Bulls), but you do need to plan for that day, and know when it is time to put it into motion.

[MoSpur]

Some so-called fans in here are way out of line. Why worry about four or five years from now? The Spurs just won a championship.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah, I guess it provides an opportunity for 4 years of teeth gnashing so Spurs fans will be all over that.
